long time for me to wright smt .
This was a good reading .

What I think is that nuggets are quite lucky to have this kind of combo players , that can play on several spots. For me the really good plus of it is that Karl can adjust front lines for bigs
1) depending on the opponent
2) depending on the the player’s performance

Besides the above and not taking account each opponent , I ll speak for Gallo only since he is my fav ….

Regarding Gallo’s position. I believe Gallo should play at the beginning as 3 and try to post opponents more. By this way Gallo can take more fouls and send players to bench . However, such kind of plays you need your team mates and GK to set them. But this is not something that is happening right now…. Nuggets plays are based on penetrations.

When Gallo plays at 3 then you should have a good defense inside your rim . Since you know that a fast 3 from opponent can pass Gallo and create instability in your paint . In such scenarios your team should rotate well having at first your 5 , or one 7 footer, to close the path and the rests rotate fast and to look after for the extra pass ….

However as the game moves on , Gallo should move to 4 . On Offence he can pull his defender outside since he can shoot and by that he is making space to Ty to run to the basket. In such a scenario Ty can either finish or give the extra pass to KK?Faried if the opponent 5 close his way.

However, when moving Gallo to 4 you should pay attention on the opponents current 4 and the faul trouble that may cause to Gallo.

Overall , I can understand why the starting line up is
with Gallo at 3 KK at 5 and with Faried at 4, since Manimal can rotate faster . However I think that at the beginning we can try taller line ups that with Gallo , McGee and KK. With this we can
1) force our opponents to start their game with long range shoots. Since inside the rim we have to scary 7 footers

2) We can move at the beginning the game into the paint. Our bigs , with post moves might take some easy first fouls that can create damage later on to the opponent. I think we can follow that plays on Lebron …

In any case the above is some ideas more to the existing Nugs play. However I do believe that Nugs and GK are so far so good . Personal opinion , GK has done a great job and to me this team can go really far. The only grey area for me is close games when time is running out. I am really affraid of miller’s choices there. Ball should not be in his hands in such times.

Heat streak? Beating up on pathetic eastern conference teams, most of them cellar dwellers. Only 2 games v western conference teams–both on the road–during the stretch, a win v OKC and Timberwolves.

Nugs streak is full of wins v the best of the west and multiple eastern conference playoff teams.

The Nuggets, and every other really good team in the west, would be the 2nd seed in the most current edition of a 15 year eastern conference record of relative mediocrity. Miami in the west is just another team at the top of the conference. Great players and will probably win it all, but, talking about streaks, no comparison. The Nugs road to this many wins more difficult.

Make some noise please.

Also the stats don’t account for who Gallo is playing on defense whether it is starters or bench would play a huge role in his ability to affect efficiency. Im not saying you are wrong but that is a possible factor.

Mission win all the games!!! 60-22 GO!!!!!!!
