Game #25: Denver Nuggets 106 (16-7) - Toronto Raptors 103 (20-5)

Naw he just does that in clutch situations. Forever passive.

So tonight was a 48 minute clutch situation eh

I also cannot believe that Wright got second dibs over Van Vleet.

The preferential treatment towards Fred just boggles my mind. Not hating on Fred but its not a game to experiment especially against a contender. He struggled mightily in the first half.

I dont know whats going on but he is just pressing.

With Lowry struggling offensively, team cannot afford having Fred perform this bad.

We're 20-5, currently 3.5 games ahead of anyone else in the league, and 3 of our losses have come down to the final play of regulation (plus OT in the Celtics loss)

Yeah we're really good. Just need to tighten up execution at the end of games. It'll be a season long process but I love where we're at.

Jokic is way too strong and crafty for both those guys.

it's only 7 seconds. They can hold on

We need to find smart ways to increase Pascal's usage and find out where his ceiling truly is.

Anyways, what I learned from this game is if they want to be a serious contender then they need to make a trade. This bench is not good enough. Miles and JV are terrible. OG is cringeworthy whenever he has the ball. He needs to go. VV has regressed. Delon Wright is basically the only reliable player they have on that bench lol. Yes Delon Wright.

Talk about overreaction lol. Trade them all!!!!!

If JV with the bench is what we’re gonna do. We have to run the pick and roll with Delon not Fred. Fred never sees the roller and just backs out and resets the possession. Kills any semblance of an offense.

Yeah I don't get the infatuation with Fred either. Both Casey and Nurse have this issue. If he's not playing well, bring down his minutes/usage..

LOL. They deserved that loss for only playing one half and getting ice cold Lowry after siting him, er, excuse me, resting him with back "pain". Still, that was a brutal call at the end. That's a call a home team gets not a road team and definitely not a call that goes against the best team in the league.

Again, this team is way too casual in thinking they can just turn it on for 8 or 9 minutes and coast the rest of the game. They need to start playing 4 solid quarters consistently not just when they care.

Ibaka did that and it cost us the game. lol.

Another poor management of time outs.

Nurse called a timeout after he got T’ed, why?

[G__Deane]

Nuggets are trash. Raptors played half-asleep whole game and they couldn't put them away. Got gifted this game.

Denver is definitely NOT trash

This was a carbon copy of the Pelicans loss, except we Klawed our way back into it. Totally listless, over confident first half. And yet they still almost pulled it out, if not for the refs.
