they have apparently decided Towns won't foul out in the first half despite his best efforts.

Jesus they're letting a whole lot go.

Malone is such a clown, fake tough guy, what're you gonna do hit him in the face?

the nba claimed they merely clarified certain types of contact that did or didn’t constitute a foul. the reality is they said “yeah just let em do whatever now and then”

So dumb for a coach to get in a ref's face... what is that going to accomplish?

Huh? Would you prefer he stands on the sideline with his arms folded? This officiating is ro ridiculous right now he’s out there protecting his guys….that’s 100% what a head coach has to do in that spot.

Marc Davis likes that he has even less to do every night.

There has to be a tech against Malone right? Lost his mind there. Ant looked the wrong way and got one in game1

Think he was trying to get T'd up to get the crowd into it, because if I remember him right, Davis is a coward who can be influenced by a loud home crowd.

No tech on Malone is insane. What would get him a tech besides physical contact?

Porter just blew a fast break with an awful pass.

If he’s not hitting jumpers, he’s not much of a player

I dislike that Reed defensive play where you play tight and keep your head close enough to the offensive player that they don't even have personal space to reach their arms above their head without contacting you. So you snap your head back reflexively when they try to gather or eurostep and you get the foul call.

I agree. He should protect his guys. However, he clearly should be slapped with a T for it

In general though, Denver kind of looks like crap. Murray is the least impressive part to me, he's foul hunting like Brunson but without Brunson's intent to actually make the shot / score.

Murray looks terrible, have to think that calf is not close to 100%, and they just don't really have the juice against this D without him

he was 100% going for the tech there.

it’s kind of shocking he didn’t get one. I guess Davis immediately realized he fucked up the call and let it go

I hate hate hate when teams run their offense exclusively through their star in the 1Q. It happened last week when NO did this in G2 with Valunciunas, and nobody else on the floor is able to get into the flow of the game. Then they are subbed out, return in the 2Q with no game rhythm going. I don’t know why coaches continuing doing this in the 1Q.

Hard to say.. Davis definitely didn't take the bait.. and probably didn't want to see what happened if he had actually called the T.

i’ve exclusively heard it in that commercial that makes me want to cry
I think it singlehandedly gives me a headache. I have no idea what it has to do with pizza (is that what the ad is for? I've never paid attention) or jenga and the stop start of it is just really jarring.

Is Murray just going to play the entire game with his hands in the air? How flustered is this team right now.

I think the Nuggets are going to have to rely on Porter a lot more than they are right now. Murray looks like dogshit
