NEW episode of Pickaxe and Roll, presented by @DKSportsbook:
I ranted about the bench unit again.
Also discussed other things, but in a 9-point loss to Memphis tonight, the biggest storyline in Denver is the inability to compete when Jokić sits down. denverstiffs.com/2021/11/1/2275… – 1:10 AM

I did ask Ja Morant about when he throws an amazing pass followed by a teammate missing the shot/dunk – he said Steven Adams told Ja that he owed him one after a missed dunk, Ziaire Williams said he didn’t know what he was thinking – Ja said he tells him not to think, just shoot. – 11:00 PM

Ja Morant on reaching 1000 assists: It means a lot to him, as a pass-first point guard. He credits his teammates, since those assists wouldn’t be possible without them making the shots – 10:51 PM

Malone said this one boiled down to paint and rebounding, from a defensive perspective.
Memphis scored 58 in the paint and out-rebounded Denver 55-40.
He said they had talked about how good the Grizzlies were on the boards, and the Nuggets “failed to meet that challenge.” – 10:45 PM

Tyus Jones says he’s finding his groove from 3 — and the offseason work is showing. He sees the outside shot as a way to open the defense up and get down hill. However, he wants to find balance between selfishness and unselfishness – 10:43 PM

Grizzlies 106, Nuggets 97. Both teams 4-3.
Huge game off bench for Tyus Jones (17-8-4, 5-of-7 from 3). Nuggies shot blanks from 3 but also really could use another backcourt creator, at least until Jamal Murray comes back. – 10:13 PM

Everything but Jokic is off for the Nuggets. I thought they were getting closer to figuring things out, but the bench is still lost, Denver isn’t generating enough 3-pointers, and there is a big lack of urgency on defense after the first or second rotation leading to opponent 3s. – 9:55 PM

I stand by my desire to have Monte run the bench offense with Barton or MPJ helping power that offense, and potentially Bones as well. Dozier can play more with the starters, and then he doesnt have to initiate the bench offense. Or Facu can start, same reasons and fewer 3s. – 9:49 PM

Porter has completely faceplanted in the third. Missed some shots, let the shots affect his effort, and messed up Denver’s last two rotations to allow corner threes.

Michael Porter Jr. is INCREDIBLY better as a passer this season.
Not even close to the passer that he was a season ago. Especially as an entry passer.
He’s had some great finds to Jokic on the block. – 9:20 PM

Porter’s defensive rebounding thus far has been outstanding. That time, he found Jokic for and-1.

First half rotations for the Nuggets as they trail the Grizzlies 60-58.
Ja Morant is very good. Denver doesn’t have anyone who can slow him down.
Jokić and MPJ combine for 24 points on 13 shots. 34 on 21 shots if you include AG.

Can’t ask for more on the road. #Nuggets trail 60-58 going into the break. Denver’s bench (20-16 in favor of MEM) hanging in, and Nikola (15 points) keeping it close.

The Nuggets did not have a good 1st half. Denver went 2-15 from beyond the arc, lost the rebounding battle and Jokic slept walked into a 15/5/3 line at the break. Still, they only trail by 2.

The Houston Rockets have exercised their 2022-23 rookie scale team option for Kevin Porter Jr.
That was the final option decision we were waiting on.
Only Jarrett Culver (Memphis) and Jalen Smith (Phoenix) had their 2022-23 rookie scale team options declined. – 5:31 PM

🏀 Desmond Bane’s aesthetic signature

Watching the Nuggets squander the opportunity to solidify a sports hold on this town for a generation, with a championship-caliber squad, because they were afraid to accept a smaller TV deal is just wild. The sports landscape has been RIGHT THERE FOR THE TAKING. – 3:02 PM
