Malone on Denver's p&r defense: "Its a lot easier (to hedge) with Mason & DA...with Nikola it's a fine line..."

Tengo, pues muy poquitos datos para juzgar a ningún otro equipo.
Temo hablar sin base y perder respeto a mi opinión y sabiduría.
¿Acaso ello ha detenido la mano de algún usuario en la Historia del Foro?
¡No y mil veces no! La pusilanimidad debe ser desterrada.
El respeto y cariño que merita este noble refugio, puerto seguro entre los abismos de Internet, requiere este sacrificio.
Todos debemos opinar a tumba abierta y si no sabemos qué decir...
...pues al menos, meternos con alguien.
Darivo, te ha tocado.
Eso sí, solamente dos días.
Te ruego me señales el inicio de las hostilidades negándome una, dos o las tres posibilidades:
The Malo One es buen entrenador porque:
1) Sabe unir y armonizar un grupo humano.
2) Maneja un estilo y sistemas apropiado para que el equipo pueda competir lo mejor posible.
3) Lee bien los partidos y efectúa los ajustes adecados.
...si gustas, por supuesto.
@NBAWind
Gary Harris was getting asked how he was able to limit Isaiah tonight.
A chipper Jameer Nelson: "I guarded him for two possessions too!"

- se nota sobre todo en el tema Nurkic.
mis fonts (o sources) me dicen que el partido que Nurkic se queda en el vestuario en el descanso y no sale al banquillo, realmente se había pirado del pabellón tras una buena bronca en el descanso.
que tuvieron que salir a por él y recuperarlo.
Líbreme Tolliver de hablar mal de los veganos. No sabía que pasara nada raro con Wilson. No digo nada aquí.darivo escribió:Y luego claro, las cosas de Wilson, que además este año se hace vegano, y está más disgustado en el equipo que nada, y eso que es difícil porque él, es poco dado a sentimentalismos.
No.darivo escribió:También el tema Mudiay, que aprovechas que se lesiona para sacarlo completamente de rotación.
Lo de "se dice"... en fin. A todos los equipos de la NBA les pueden ganar un partido determinado en base al P'n'R y otro en el que al oponente les entren todos los triples, uses el sistema que uses. La defensa de los Nuggets se me antoja superior a lo esperable según la media de edad de sus hombre importantes. Deberíais ser un equipo bastante más tierno.darivo escribió:2) Maneja un estilo y sistemas apropiado para que el equipo pueda competir lo mejor posible.
- Malone siempre fue considerado un especialista defensivo.
pero claro, en un partido te crujen con el bloqueo directo y se dice que no es su especialidad.
Otro te crujen tirando de 3 y se dice que Malone está focalizado en otros aspectos defensivos y que su fuerte no es ese planteamiento.
Fue su último intento de lograr la armonización balcánica. Había que intentar eso o librarse de Nurk. No funcionó y adiós Nurk, pero había que intentarlo.darivo escribió:o como cuando terminas la temporada pasada diciendo que te equivocaste con Jokic, que le tenías que dar más minutos y empiezas la siguiente poniendolo de 4 a perserguir a '4' abiertos.
¿Es que está diciendo alguna mentira?darivo escribió:Siempre puede recurrir a la "falta de esfuerzo defensivo" cuando te meten 120 puntos o similar.
o a qué "Jokic no tiene capacidad defensiva como la de Plumlee"
Eso dicho por él mismo eh
darivo escribió:3) Lee bien los partidos y efectúa los ajustes adecados.
- Malone siempre aboslutamente siempre es incapaz de hacer ajustes al vuelo que supongan un desequilibrio "en la fuerza"
Esa fuerza supone que Nelson y Barton tengan 30 minutos por noche da igual su aportación al equipo.
también se vio en una racha de partidos que tuvimos a principio de temporada, que se perdieron tras unas jugadas de pizarra tremendas para poner el balón en pista (nos acordamos de esos pases a Jokic en carrera en media pista?) o poner a Faried sobre Marc Gasol en la última posesión.
Sus rotaciones son francamente malas y hacen recordar lo peor de la era Karl
como Chandler jugando de Center y Barton de base
Para mí, peor que Shaw.
DENVER — In a regular season where Michael Malone has had to use 26 different starting lineups due to injury and youth, he’s not looking to make any more significant changes to Denver’s rotation for the time being.
While rookie Jamal Murray has shown flashes of greatness throughout his rookie year and tell-tale signs and visions of Denver’s future at the position, it’s been veteran Jameer Nelson who’s steadied the Nuggets’ ship at point guard over the second half of the season.
Since Emmanuel Mudiay went down with a back injury in a Jan. 21 win over the Clippers, Nelson has averaged 10.1 points and 5.7 assists. The 35-year-old is shooting 46.7 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from three and only turning the ball over 1.5 times per game during that span. Nelson is also top-1o in the league on the season in three-point percentage on catch-and-shoot jumpers, per NBA.com.
Nelson has had his fair share of ugly moments this year, like a poor end-of-game possession in his first start at point guard on Jan. 22 against the Timberwolves, but in reality, Nelson’s playing his best ball since the 12-year vet left Orlando following the 2013-14 season.
“What can you say about the guy?” Malone asked following a January road win in Phoenix. “Going into the season, who knows how much he’s going to play. We have all of these young guys, and because of injuries to Will (Barton) and Gary (Harris), he plays a lot…Jameer took advantage of the opportunity and I have to play him. He’s played that well.”
However, it’s hard to ignore Murray’s impact seemingly every time he steps on the court.
Murray injects life and energy into the game quicker than anyone else up and down Denver’s roster. The rookie plays the game at a different pace than most.
Murray is averaging a healthy 11.3 points on 43.3 percent shooting from the field and 35.5 percent from three in 21.1 minutes per game since he took over at backup point guard. He isn’t afraid to get up into opponents on defense and isn’t shy when looking for his shot on offense. Murray’s lifted Denver’s second unit up all year long.
But the extenuating circumstances of this regular season have delayed Murray’s ascent to the status of Denver’s starting point guard.
If this were a typical year, and the Western Conference’s eighth seed was set to come in at around 42 or 43 wins, the Nuggets would have been labeled as “sellers” well before the Feb. 23 trade deadline. There could have been more of an urgency to move Danilo Gallinari or Wilson Chandler and Nelson might be in Cleveland, a team that was rumored to have interest in the point guard leading up to the deadline, trying to help LeBron James to a fourth NBA title.
The truth is that the low hanging fruit that was this year’s eighth seed pushed Denver into the playoff race quicker than anyone could have guessed. And right now, the Nuggets are on pace. Denver has a 60 percent chance to make the playoffs, according to FiveThirtyEight.com, a 20 percent spike after two impressive wins; at home Friday against Boston and in Sacremtno on the second night of a back-to-back Saturday in an arena and against a team that has given Malone and the Nuggets nightmares in the past.
The Nuggets are full speed ahead, for now, with their rotation as is.
“I have not gotten to that point yet,” Malone answered to a recent question of if he’s thought about starting Murray. “Obviously, with 18 games to go, we’ll see what happens in those 18 games. I think Jameer has earned the right to be our starter for the time being. He’s played well for us and that allows Jamal to come in the game with a guy like Will Barton, where the primary ballhandling responsibilities are not always on Jamal. I think it helps him having a guy like Will Barton, you can put the ball in Will’s hands at times as well as Jamal’s hands and Jamal doesn’t feel the full brunt of bringing the ball up the court getting us into the offense and also finding his shot.”
Presently speaking, there’s no need to shift Nelson’s role from starter to backup. He’s a valued rotation piece that’s going to have to come up big down the stretch in order for the Nuggets to hang onto the eighth seed. Nelson is also more consistent than Murray on a night-in-night-out basis. Murray may have higher peaks than Nelson, but he also comes with greater valleys.
Nelson is also a dominating and vital voice in Denver’s the locker room.
After Friday’s win over the Celtics, a chipper Nelson chimed in when Gary Harris was asked how he was able to limit Most Valuable Player candidate Isaiah Thomas to 21 points on 7-14 shooting, more than eight points lower than his season average.
“I guarded him for two possessions too!” Nelson joked.
It’s moments like that where Nelson proves his worth off the floor. He’s likely had to hold Denver’s locker room together at times this season as the Nuggets navigated through their fair share of distractions including Jusuf Nurkic and Kenneth Faried‘s displeasure with their respective backup roles and Wilson Chandler’s dissatisfaction with his ever-changing spot in the rotation.
It’s not worth knocking Denver’s locker room off its access and swapping Murray for Nelson. Not right now.
Yet, Murray’s glow has clearly captivated Malone, and who can blame him? The No. 7 overall pick in last summer’s draft will likely stay in his backup role, as long as Denver’s in the hunt for the eighth seed. Although Malone didn’t close the door on a change Saturday before the Nuggets topped Boston.
“I love that role for Jamal right now,” Malone said. “But 18 games to go, that can definitely change.”
It’s a difficult balance that Malone has had to teeter with all season, but Murray’s prowess on both ends of the floor is hard to ignore.
This season, Denver’s current starting lineup, featuring Nelson, Harris, Gallinari, Chandler and Nikola Jokic, has outscored opponents by eight points in 126 minutes. Swap Murray for Nelson and that five-man combination is a +29 in just 34 minutes across only four games.
