    That’s the thing that kills Zach is his consistency. He plays great 2-3 games in a row then bad for 2 more games in a row, back and fourth

    Nuggs have a ton of herky jerky players. Makes them hard to guard.

    Baze with 13 points and Zach had little problem in scoring but what I like though he had 6 rebounds and 1block.

    It's not just that, but they have a few of those annoying players who are very efficient, even if they don't pack the stats on paper. I hate those types. They're the types of players that can wear down an opponent, while the Stars control the game.

    Maybe Trent's great practices can translate to an actual game.

    Skal is a good shooter. Problem is decision making. picks up the ball and is almost to the basket, can dunk over Plumlee but passes off. then at other end Tolliver is getting posted up by a guy who can overpower him. Skal doesn't close, just stand there.

    That's the thanks I get for my contributions, huh?

    Well, as they say.....the Greats are seldom recognized for their achievements.

    Simons is showing he's difficult to defend if he's one-on-one.

    Helps that they're playing loose and free with zero expectations in this game.

    Even if we get blown out in the 2nd half I’m happy. The bench has proven they can play against a quality team on the road.

    Man I love Simons but I think he’s going to really struggle as a point guard this season. Why we don’t have him as a pure shooting guard off the bench is beyond me
