Gotta stop their Middies so we can maintain supremacy.

9 free throws to 1 though

Actually may be a sign we aren't defending hard enough

It's been all year and again it's surprising because I thought they had some grinders with length who'd close out, but nope.

Nurk with only 1 block. Seemed like he had 3 in that first half

He had at least 2. That stat will get corrected. One was def early in the 1st quarter and then one there towards the end of the 2nd.

He’s only averaging 1.3 on the season.

We need to stop standing around and watching Durant. We need constant motion and smart offensive play if we're going to make this an actual content. And for the defense? It might be helpful if they actually stuck to their man rather than getting screened off for a wide open jumper to be taken.

Has nothing to do with what he said.

Turnovers, once again, are just killing us.

Watch this Nugs team continue to set the table with screens and cuts. They're not maniacally obsessed with spacing COUGH camped out on the 3pt line.

Is that too much to ask?

Nurks gotta be better than that.

He isn't the only one, but I agree. I'm honestly surprised Durant only has a single one to this point.

It's 6 between he and Gordon (Nurk with 4 of them).

Yet to see this best defensive scheme in the league I thought we'd be doing something revolutionary

It has everything to do with what he said

Nurkic having himself a game. That's for sure. Good to see someone manning the pivot who knows his role and is willing to do the work down low where it matters.

Jokic just fouling and flopping, getting away with it the whole way.

Nassir Little getting that dad strength boost

Needing Gordon to have a big 5 minutes when Nurk and Durant rest.
