Arron Afflalo: Fat new contract and less production. Not what Nuggets Nation expected - shooting 23% from the outside, 44% from the field, and 78% at the line ... all down from last season. AAA of last year, where have you gone?
Nuggets 3-pt%: Stays on the list this week because as a team the Nuggets are shooting 28.8% from deep, but still taking 19.8 treys a game!
George Karl's rotations: Mozgov averages 16 minutes per game, Birdman 11.6 mpg, taking out Koufos' three starts he averages 5.4 mpg, and Faried has only two game appearances. Meanwhile: Lawson, Afflalo, Miller, and Fernandez all average above 24 mpg. Would be nice to see the Nuggets take advantage of their roster.
The Nuggets Defense: Denver has given up 24+ points in nine of the last 12 quarters of action.
Gallinari & Harrington's rebounding last week: Karl is playing them heavy minutes at PF & C, yet over the last four games Gallo is averaging just 4.2 rebounds per game and Big Al just 3.5 rpg. That wont work.
