I don't know if you guys know this but we have a game tonight. First game of the 1 vs 4 Western Conference semi finals. The fellas have been prepping in the Mile High city. Let's go! Or for you Mario fans, Let's-a-go!
I feel pretty good that Durant and Booker will feast in this series. I’m not so confident in CP3 and Ayton. Think Denver will try to play drop and hope those 2 can’t beat them. Ayton needs to bring his A game on defense. If it’s anything like the last meeting when Jokic dropped 41/15/15 then we are gonna lose.
Call me crazy but I think this is a situation where you help stretch your line-up with starting Bizzy over Ayton. Ayton's going to get killed by Jokic, where I think Bizzy sizes up far better on Jokic not to mention he'll clean glass far better than Ayton on the offensive end.
Ayton played well against Jokic in the playoffs before. Jokic even commented on how well Ayton guarded him. I am hoping Ayton sees this chart and hears all the talk about him getting his ass kicked by Jokic and brings his A game.
I don't think starting Biyombo is a good idea. Ayton is our best Jokic defender, and Ayton also plays better with other stars on the floor (particularly CP3).
Kinda worried about guys like Braun, Brown, and Green. Nuggets bench really put it to our starters last meeting. Kinda like how the Clippers players made it tough every game. I think Murray and Jokic will get theirs, just got to keep other players from erupting. Don't need another Norman Powell situation to try and figure out.
Monty has to find a way to get something from the bench. Really need to figure out how to get Ross some shots.

I think Brown could be a thorn in Book's side. We need to treat those bench guys the way other teams treat Craig and Okogie. Would love to see DA slow down Jokic. And I've said it before but I have concerns over Jackson and Bryant jumping into the mix because there's no guarantee Monty can/will adjust on the fly. Also wondering if Monty reaches for other guys or keeps the same rotation for now.
