Harrison Wind

just wasn't enough though and the defense continues to be just an absolute disaster this season i know you get the seven threes from jalen williams i know they hit some really tough shots but overall this defense has just been an embarrassment for this entire season and there were a lot of points tonight where

It's just inexcusable.

Just the miscommunications, the lack of effort, the lack of fire and just passion on the defensive end.

It's stuck out all season and did add a lot of key moments again tonight.

The Nuggets on the season have a worse defense than the Los Angeles Lakers, than the Memphis Grizzlies,

than a lot of teams who haven't been trying to win games for a lot of this season.

It's just crazy how a team assembled as a contender.

And look, they're deep.

They got a lot of guys, but it just has not come together defensively.

And they're missing Aaron Gordon.

They're missing, for the last couple months, they're missing Peyton Watson still.

They're a couple best defenders.

The Los Angeles Lakers don't have any good defenders on that team.

Memphis Grizzlies don't have really any good defenders in that rotation.

And somehow this Nuggets defense just cannot tread water.

It cannot put together enough stops and enough good possessions in these key games.

And it's just been a huge disappointment all season for me and...

I think when Peyton Watson is back, it would look better.

I don't know if he's magically going to cure what's been the 22nd ranked defense for this season.

Kirsten Brown can't keep anybody in front of him.
