What defensive strategies did the Nuggets employ?
So much to talk about. So happy you're here. D-Line Co.
Guys, I'm very excited. That was a great game. I feel very blessed to be back here in the winner's lounge with you gents. I feel like I've been... Like, away, like, not myself for the past month or so. Like, I feel like I just woke up from a weird dream. Yeah. But, like, I'm back, but, like, it's like, I can't even remember what happened. It's like one of those dreams. It was my house, but it wasn't my house. It was my team, but it wasn't my players. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that dream.
What were the highlights of the lineup changes during the game?
Like, anyway. That's the worst. Yeah, I woke up. I'm back, though.
How did the Nuggets maintain their performance during Jokic's absence?
But it was a pretty good dream still, but this dream, way better. Way better. Rounding out the show, Superstar Dev. Oh. It feels so good to be back.
I feel like I returned.
You did.
I returned. Nuggets Nation returned. All the fellas returned. This was a fun one.
This was a banger. This was an absolute banger, man. Why don't we relive it together under the fast breakdown, shall we? First note tells the story. You want to know what the first note is? Do you guys remember the first part of this game?
It's the first note. Jokic dominates the hottest team in the league.
First note is Jokic wheeling and dealing, man. Just gets out there and he's just doing his thing. Like right away, he wondered what it would look like. It looked like nine points, four rebounds, one assist in seven minutes. And the Nuggets looked awesome. That's what it looked like. The only thing keeping the Clippers in it was John Collins? Knocking down threes and hitting his jump shots. He's kept them afloat, but P watt to end the first quarter went on his own little mini run Passing and scoring that first quarter was just like man. There's no way it can be this good Can it be 35 to 27 Nuggets after one quarter second quarter? Nuggets' defense was holding serve, but they couldn't score. Very interesting lineups at the end of the first quarter and the start of the second quarter.
Tale of two different lineups there we're going to talk about. Jokic back in at the seven-minute mark. He missed three straight free throws when he came in, which was like, okay, he is rusty. That was the only thing that was rusty tonight. And it was those three. It wasn't even like he shot back from the foul.
It was just those three were. Yeah, he got the oil can, and then he wasn't rusty anymore.
At the end of this half, though, it did feel like the Nuggets left a lot of points on the board. It could have been 16 points, maybe even more, but they left them with some bad turnovers, little things. Instead, it was seven, and they let it slip all the way down to three, but they closed the last minute of the half really strong, and it was 59-50 Nuggets. Nine-point lead going into the half. Start the third quarter. Clippers quickly cut it to one and then took a lead. If you remember the start of that third quarter, man, it was really ugly. And the Clippers stormed all the way back and took a lead. One play that stemmed the tide for Denver here. Spencer Jones hustle play.
