Denver just hammering the Warriors at the half 60-36. Steph is 1-6 0-5 from 3. Without Draymond the defense is terrible, and the Dubs are 4-14 from the FT line, Kuminga 2-8.

I would assume they will close it some in the 2nd half but looks like a classic letdown game after Xmas.

Warriors down 24 at halftime against the nuggets. No Draymond. They have no answer for Barton and Jokic. Steph has 2 points, 0-5 from three

Lol Russ you beat me to it by like 10 seconds of posting hahaha. Weird game. Kuminga is missing too many free throws but I like his aggressiveness. That’s important for a young player.

he's now 3-10. He got pushed on a made basket by Denver they called the foul so the shot counted but he had to shoot FT's. They tried to cheat and put Wiggins at the line but the refs figured it out (-:

Yeah. He just had a nice backdoor dunk from Iggy assist. Steph carries so much gravity

ALmost got it back all the way tied, Denver went up 4, Warriors cut to two with the ball but Joker made a great block on Kuminga Denver wins by 3.

As discussed on the forum some time back, it's hard to get a Disabled Player Exception.

Wow. Not sure I can remember a miss that bad.

I seriously think Lakers might be better just cutting him and eating the contract.
I've seen Ben Wallace miss free throws by 6 feet but yeah, for someone that has made a living putting the ball in the hoop, that was remarkably bad.

I've often wondered if Russ has a problem with his vision. He's such a bad shooter despite being such a good player other than that. There's got to be a reason behind him being such a bad shooter. He's supposedly a gym rat who is always practicing so I'm not sure why his shooting has gotten worse as time goes on.

Yeesh…

A couple weeks ago I saw him hold his pose on a three point attempt only to have it come 3 feet short of the rim.
It's weird. He's never been a good shooter, but now he's legitimately awful. The rest of his game doesn't seem to have dropped off that much, so I wonder what's going on.

The Nuggets are really hurting for enough players to play a game. Even Mike Malone is out.
