Those set shot 3's he's actually been hitting them at over 40% this year

Just a little cold on them tonight it seems

JJ has been the LEAST of our worries this season
I can’t wait to see the space he can get when Zion is on the floor

There nothing wrong with playing matchups. favors should play every minute Jokic plays. If that means Hayes only plays 18 minutes tonight, so be it.

And I have been calling for Hayes to play more all year. He can’t handle Jokic yet. he’ll foul out in no time guarding him.

Anyone got a Pelicans stream if there is one?

And I agree with that. If you need to sub Favors out while Jokic is in there, then put Okafor in for a bit. My point was that Jokic is a hard task for anyone to take one on one. I think Hayes "could" be in the game guarding Jokic, but we need a commitment to double him, which we aren't doing.

Would be fine, but they don't want Favors playing that many minutes

Gentry said a few games ago 27-28 mins is all they want to play him

I get what you're saying, but at some point the kid will be on him no matter what

Whatever we did to simplify the defense is clearly working. We’re still careless with the ball on offense but damn the defense is light years better atm

Chauncey crediting Gentry's love for Ingram as the biggest reason Ingram has made such a big jump this year is as bad as it gets. Yea I'll go ahead and listen to Joel and Antonio.

I love how Frank Jackson turned around when Denver put that shot up, he saw the Nugget player on the baseline, then he turned back around without remotely trying to block out or go up for the ball.

Frank Jackson does not belong on an NBA court.

Favors made a huge difference also
