Multi-Billionaire Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 To both these teams, the playoffs series starts early. We face them twice in the next 3 days... this game in Denver and on 8th Apr in OKC. If we can win both, their game lead on us will be reduced to 1.0... and Thunder will face Lakers at LA in their next few games. Judging by their recent losses at Portland and Clippers, they should lose that game too. We can catch OKC for 4th seed. Have to win both games. But if there's a weakness I think this Nuggets team has is they have difficulty defending athletic teams like Heat and Thunder. We have to win these 2 games... easier said than done.

Multi-Billionaire Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 What a bummer loss... OKC played tough D, and is a very good offensive team. It's not enough to make 3-4 stops in a row against this team, because even if we're successful in stopping them in 3-4 consecutive possessions, they can come back and score the next 5 in a row. Everyone is talking about how we're the most efficient offensive team in the L after trading Melo, but OKC's own offense has gotta be near tops in the L. We have to take the next one at OKC, or it could take away this team's confidence quickly when we face them in the playoffs. This one game changed the celebration mood after going 15-4. We found out how good OKC really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Our transition D against athletic teams like Thunder and Heat (luckily they're in the East) is a true concern. How do teams solve athletic teams like Heat? Celtics punish them by being physical and big inside... So, we can "punish" the athletic Thunder by using C's strategy, being physical and big inside... only... - Presti addressed their physicality by adding Perkins and Mohammed- Nene goes puppy in Perkins' face, Afflalo and Lawson and Chandler are too nice, Felton isn't exactly feisty, J.R. is too cool to get physical, Kenyon's bark is always louder than actions...- We lost our true, beefy 7 footer Mozgov to injury (should be season-ending if it's knee sprain) Only guy who can get in their face is Gallo... he intentionally bumped into Durant to rile him up. Gallo's quietly feisty. But Gallo alone isn't enough. --- Verdict: we just gotta focus on improving our transition D against Thunder... I think it's our only true weakness that Thunder repeatedly utilized... the Thunder know this... and sadly the Nuggets (including Karl) might not yet notice it.
