    All Dame does is shoot threes. Portlands not fast or passing the ball.

    We are seeing who can’t be on the floor right now.

    When do we get the reminder why the league passed on Melo?

    Nerd a Giles and Collins frontcourt, with Melo and Kanter out of the rotation.

    Well that was embarrassing. Yes, it's early and it's pre-season, but I see almost a complete lack of effort and a lot of the same nonsense we've seen for years.

    Kanter has to ICE. He isn’t fast enough to pressure ball handlers and get back to his man.

    As soon as Kanter, Melo, and Hood came in we stopped playing any defense.

    Why didn't somebody come out and help Kanter there?

    Dame and CJ are 2-10 from the field not good enough especially if your going take the majority of the shots.

    LMAO at the apologists using Kanter as a scapegoat to garbage coaching on both sides of the floor.

    Denver CUTS. We do not.

    One pass and shoot. Over and over again.

    I don't want to stay sober for this.

    The Nuggets still move the ball well no matter who's in the lineup.

    Were just isoing to death. This is the preseason, meaning we should be working on improving our weaknesses.

    Main one right now? Moving the damn ball. Its si easy to go 1v1. Meaning we shouldnt be doing it every time down the floor in the preseason.

    Exactly....they are barely working on offense and STILL getting WIDE OPEN looks.

    This starts with Stotts and Dame....period. Have a better plan (Stotts), and be the leader who holds teammates accountable. (Dame). This isn't about 1 game. It's sadly a repeating theme year after year.

    Nothing wrong on defense from Stotts. The players look like they dont give a shit on that end.

    On offense though, everything is fucking isolation.
