Good game by the Clippers.
Julian Strawther is gonna be big for the nuggets this coming season looking like he did at Gonzaga
Cam Christie
Put Miller in the rotation asap.
I hope Holmes comes back stronger then ever next year prayers🙏
Holmes looks like a good pickup, with some rough edges to clean up. I hope he recovers from that Achilles injury, but he'll lose some bounce which sucks.
I like Strawther and I see the potential, but we desperately need him to be an energy guy and he watches a lot of plays happen. First game but something to watch.
Tyson and Hall showed some flashes, Tyson looks like a tall SF more than PF.
Pickett needs to learn to navigate screens on defense to be an asset off the bench, if I'm the Nuggets I'd get him working on that footwork asap and make it a true focus along with catch and shoot 3s so strong footwork solidifies his game on offense and defense at his size.
I feel for this kid Holmes. It's truly sad – his first appearance and he's done for the season, or longer.
Injury was caused by an unnatural landing and the double contraction of the calf muscle pulling on the planted/stressed foot and stretching contracted tendon to a tear point.
I do feel for him – and I wish him speedy recovery.
Thing is – at this level of competition – details matter very much. Especially the details pertaining to coordination, body control, balance, natural feel. And before nuggets traded him – when I watched his highlights – I didn't like what I saw to that regard.
Nuggets FO has no awareness of what "athleticism" really means. They draft (at this target position) people like Nnaji, now Holmes… bc "size" and "potential shooting". Completely misunderstanding "athleticism".
So they get the big lugs that have no coordination, no balance, no body control, no NATURAL instincts and athleticism.
These 2 are pretty much version 1.0 an 1.1 of the SAME, EXACT, WRONG THING.
Similarly – with MPJ (who I like a lot as a person) – Nuggets FO simply ignored his lack of flexibility, his back and neck rigidity, his slow/stiff legs/feet. MPJ has a similar problem – stiff like a 2×4. Not REALLY "athletic".
Their whole (all three of them) bodies are in a perpetual SPASM/CRAMP.
It is unfortunate, it is sad and, for the last time, I hope Holmes recovers quickly and does well for himself.
The ultimate bottom line is that nuggets FO is completely incompetent and out-of-place.
TBC – Holmes was not expected to really play this upcoming season. He was to "develop" – but things that Holmes/Zeke/MPJ and such lack are not something "development" can fix (check Nnaji, MPJ). Those are natural predispositions given by God. If you don't have it – you won't have it. Ever.
Now, MPJ has one uber-extraordinary skill/advantage – his jump shot. And that makes him "usable" and contributing (sans defense, handle, drives, etc).
The other two don't have that one extraordinary talent like he does.
Anywho – this won't break/waste the nuggets upcoming season. That season is already broken/wasted by Nuggets FO/GM incompetence and the cheapness of their owners.
Speed recovery to Daron Holmes II 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Let's trade everyone but Jokic. Murray wants 50 million per season going forward. Aaron Gordon is awesome but his lack of three-point shooting hurts us, and MPJ is getting paid 40 mil a year and he's just a 6'10 Kyle Korver.
