Really good first half. KD's adjusting well to being off on his jumper by attacking the rim. He's realizing no one's meeting him at the rim and it's helped him find a bit of rhythm. Still, we're going to need him to get rid of those yips on the jumper.

CP being out may be a blessing in disguise if we can keep up this pace and keep playing downhill. Cam and Book can keep getting to the rim. Ross is giving us what we need with his jumper and Jock really helped change the game for us with his minutes.

Sigh. This defensive scheme stinks, Ayton is lunch out there.
Love, Hurts.

Ayton getting lit up from Murray.

KD still doesn’t know how to shoot still.

Sloppy start to the half.

If you want Ayton to get an offensive rebound stop setting him up behind and off to the side of the basket. Drives me crazy.

Denver has figured out Book is the primary threat and even leaving KD to help on him

Shut up nerd.
Too soft at the rim to score an uncontested dunk and then too slow to prevent Jokic getting to the rim.

He deserved the boos.

I agree.

I just really dislike Hollinger.

Welp, all the fun we had is gone, I do not feel confident in this team to stop Denver from finishing the comeback. Yuck.

KD needs to go back to attacking the rim. Okogie a better shooter at this point.

It’s a very common position to be in for all big men in the league and many of them can still rebound. That’s not the first or second issue with Ayton’s lack of rebounds.

Jokic’s body moves as slowly as Ayton’s brain.
