He’s a great rim protector. Not much else, but in the right system he can be truly special. Anyway I think this All-Star nomination is the worst thing that could have possibly happened to his development. He’s far from a finished product and he’s not a great player (yet? I don’t know, I’m losing faith).

He has trouble against certain centers I would say. But as a weak side defender helping on defending people who drive to the basket, he’s really good.

Really starting to question the “Porzingis is a great defender” narrative.

It’s amazing that Beasley had the best plus minus. He’s making me want to keep him. And he apparently wants to stay in NY, if only because he doesn’t want to keep moving, so we have a chance.

Could missing THJr, O’Quinn

Yeah. O Quinn is limited in space, but he’s a good shot blocker and a good rebounder. Timmy is not exactly a stopper on defense, but he’s also not Lance Thomas. Lose two of your 4 best players and it’s going to be hard if you’re not golden state

In reply to Jack Bauer.

This is so tantalizing, but we know that they’re going to screw this shit up.

Keep sinking for that top 10 pick.

We’re now only half a game ahead of Utah and Charlotte. Time to start sinking. Let’s go!

Awful performance on defense tonight. Just pitiful. If it wasn’t a wide open three, it was an and-one in the paint. The points were coming so fast in the 2nd quarter that my head was spinning. I guess that it’s a moral victory that the Nuggets only scored 130. they were on a 150 pace at the half. Could missing THJr, O’Quinn and Noah be that much of a handicap?

I like Trey but yeah, he’s never going to be a shut-down defender and bigger point guards will take advantage of the miss-match.

I coudn’t watch the game, but the box score bears out the comments above. We shot 55% including 38% from three and scored 118 points. But they shot 60%, including 50% from three. Our defense must have been horrible. Only Beasley had a positive plus minus for anyone who played significant minutes.
