Warren actually making some nice passes early on. Drove and dished to Jackson in the corner, jackson missed, and just found bridges in the corner for a 3.

This active hands thing we've got going on now is great. We generally look like ass, but at least we force some turnovers now. Huzzah!
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
I love the length and speed of Jackson, Oubre and Bridges. They fly around the court, are rangy and really disrupt things. Bridges is driving a bit early in the game which I like to see. I think he can do more offensively but has been getting lost a bit. Can't get over his wingspan. I'm curious to see him play some 4 down the line when he adds some weight/fills out.
It's also a luxury to bring Oubre in off the bench. We have a lot of SFs but they're young and exciting to watch.

Ya it’s been nice. We are starting to find an identity on defense. We may not exactly be a good offensive or defensive team, but we at least do something well defensively.
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
That was a pretty bad foul call on Bridges...
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
One of the best 1st quarters I’ve seen us play in some time.
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
Really solid quarter for the suns 31-23

Nice start so far. I wish Josh Jackson would look to pass a bit more rather than this current 2-7 shooting, but otherwise happy to see them doing well. They are showing good energy and competitiveness. I liked how the guys came over and congratulated Holmes after he got an and-one. I just want to see them play hard as a team and encourage each other like that.

Question: It is often stated that this team needs a PG and a PF. I think it's quite obviously true that we need a PG. Do we need a PF? If we had a good PG, could we just run Booker at SG and then a platoon of our many SFs at the 3-4 spots and make do? We have so much talent at the 3 that I wonder whether we could just do that rather than look for a more "traditional" PF.

Ayton just hauled ass down the court, took a nice pass from Okobo on the fast break, spun around his defender and slammed it down with 1 hand.
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
Oh my god, is there anything greater than an Oubre follow slam?
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
After that Jackson play, I'd say things are going our way this half.
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
Suns looking really nice right now. Up 15
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
Well we’re surviving right now without a true 4...some teams could take advantage. If Ayton becomes a better defender and can lock down the paint it might be doable.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 7:45 pmQuestion: It is often stated that this team needs a PG and a PF.

Jokic’s passing is otherworldly
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19

Oubre is having a great game. All energy.
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
Are you kidding me?! Suns up 31-23 after one against the Nuggets? Please, nobody wake them up.
