The week behind us started at the ball arena when the Darko Rakovic-led try-hard Raptors came to town. The game started lousy, Toronto got the early lead, Denver was fighting back, but they were trailing at the first break. The second quarter started with a mini-ball from the host team with Cam and Spencer, not to be confused with Cam Spencer.
Are there any good or bad wins for the Nuggets in late March?
were just big enough not to call this a micro ball. The mini ball was successful, so the starters made a run at the end of the first half and got the four-point lead at the first break. The third quarter reminded us of that Memphis game when the Nuggets' defense was so bad they couldn't defend the globe from the flat-earth believers. The Nuggets shot 60% from the field and 60% from the three, in that quarter and still managed to lose it by 13 points yikes luckily the fourth quarter went better the mini ball appeared again and erased the nine point lead in less than five minutes the game went down to the wire it was a tie with 50 seconds to go but then joker made a tough floater and the Nuggets were better than the Raptors in a free-throw competition at the end.
It was a rare Joker's single-double game with 22-8-9, with only two turnovers on the plus side, but it was Jamal's 31-5-6, and especially Tim Hardaway Jr. 's 23 off the bench that propelled the good guys to a much-needed home win. David Edelman went to an eight-man rotation, deciding not to play Jonas Valanciunas in this game. Aaron Gordon's presence was important not only because of his clutch block on Scottie Barnes, but also because all of the sudden there is another big screener on the court that can get guys free and receive passes from Joker and Jamal for easy buckets.
What defensive strategies can the Nuggets use against top-tier teams?
Thank God for AG. Two days later, in a matinee game, the Trailblazers came to town. Peyton Watson finally returned and the fan base collectively exhaled. The first half was defined by historically inefficient offenses, which in return means we've seen historically poor defenses from both teams. The Nuggets were up by six, mainly because Jamal, Cam Johnson and Nikola were scoring less. in bunches. The second half was way better. The Nuggets conceded just 43 points after forcing seven Blazers turnovers after the big break. Every player who entered the game looked good and nine different guys scored to close the game. All the starters played well overall with Nikola leading the way with 22-14-14.
What causes optimism for the Nuggets heading into the playoffs?
Jamal also scored 22, and Cam Johnson had maybe the best game of the season with 19 points and five made threes. Peyton Watson looked surprisingly good in his first game back with 14 points and six rebounds in just under 20 minutes. Jonas Valanciunas once again stayed on the bench with Spencer Jones and Peyton Watson playing the big minutes in the small ball backup unit. It felt great to have all the guys available for the first time since November. Two days later, in an extremely late 9 p.m. start time slot in Phoenix, the Nuggets rolled out their best team minus Peyton Watson, who was on the Hamstring Injury Recovery Management Protocol, or some similar fancy phrase we use these days. The first quarter started horribly, mostly because the Suns didn't feel Denver's defense on their jumpers at all, and it was only because of Tim Hardaway Jr.
