Heat vs. Nuggets: The circus comes to town... (8:30pm MST)

Miami Heat at Denver Nuggets, Jan 13, 2012 8:30 PM MST


LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the circus known as the Miami Heat invade Pepsi Center for a late Friday night affair with our Denver Nuggets. With the game being on national TV and the Heat coming off back-to-back overtime losses, it's going to be a hard fought contest.

Overview...

When the Miami Heat made their lone trip to Denver last season (oddly enough, on January 13th then, too), Nuggets fans were cheated out of seeing LeBron James play as "The King" had turned his ankle the night before in Los Angeles in a tough loss against the Clippers. Playing the second of a back-to-back, coming into Denver late from Los Angeles and being King-less, the Heat were easily routed by the Nuggets to the tune of 130-102.

The Nuggets' romp that evening was spearheaded by J.R. Smith who connected on eight of his 14 three-point attempts off the bench while Carmelo Anthony poured in 21 points and Chauncey Billups dished out 13 assists. After Melo and Billups were traded, the new-look Nuggets played at Miami in March and put up an admirable fight before losing by just five points, again led by Smith who had 27 points in the game.

J.R. Smith may be long gone, but the Nuggets don't seem to have any problem putting up points, averaging 103.6 ppg in a season where scoring is down across the board due (presumably) to lockout rustiness that will linger for some time. In fact, the Nuggets score more per game than any team in the NBA except one.

The one?

You guessed it, the Miami Heat (at 106.4 ppg).

Additionally, the Nuggets' possess the NBA's second-best field goal percentage by shooting 48.7% from the field. The lone team better than Denver in that department?

You guessed it, the Miami Heat (at 48.8%).

The Nuggets and Heat are also in the top-five for assists (Nuggets being first, Heat being third), free throw attempts (Heat being first, Nuggets being fourth), steals (Nuggets being first, Heat being fourth) and turnovers (Heat being first, Nuggets being fifth).

Are the Nuggets and the current Eastern Conference / would-be NBA champions really this similar? In a sense, yes, because both teams push the ball, play up-tempo and are young and dynamic enough to survive the intense lockout schedule. At least the Heat were before they had to play on the road at Golden State against the Warriors and Los Angeles against the Clippers, two Pacific-coast squads that handed the Heat two overtime losses in a row.

In both overtime losses, James failed to come through for his Miami teammates and it's been so talked about on ESPN and on the internet, that James actually felt the need to Tweet about it...

LeBron James
Had some great opportunities last night. Have to make them count. Unexceptable from the Line! Simple as that. Back at it on Friday night

To be clear, this is very bad news for the Nuggets. The last thing the Nuggets need is an ego-bruised LeBron James, a Heat squad hanging on two straight overtime losses and with two days in Denver to acclimate to the altitude, no less. I don't need Nuggstradamus to tell me that Friday night won't be another Nuggets blowout.

That said, the Nuggets have been historically solid against the Heat. Going back to the 2002-03 season, the Nuggets have beaten the Heat 14 times in 17 tries, including nine straight wins at Pepsi Center. Moreover, James remains shaky in clutch situations. He has had his moments of glory to be sure, but he's much more comfortable as a front runner. And thus, a super tight game could favor Denver (even though we haven't found our go-to guy yet and seem to be much better at being front runners ourselves).

Other than the embarrassing loss at home to the Hornets on Monday night, the story of the Nuggets' 2011-12 season so far is one of beating the teams they were supposed to beat while losing to the teams they should probably have lost to anyway (like at Portland, at the Lakers and at San Antonio). With the Heat having a full day's rest and their key roster members healthy, they are the favorites on Friday night.

Scouting the Heat...

Heat Non-Stiffs

LeBron James: James may disappoint in clutch situations, but he's having his best all-around season ever and may end up being the league MVP for the third time by season's end. Averaging 29.0 ppg and an astounding 57% shooting from the field to go along with a career-high 8.5 rpg, James has become more patient offensively and is routinely playing closer to the basket ... making him ever more dangerous to play against.

Dwyane Wade: Wade's numbers are down across the board, but he remains one of the NBA's best players and one of the league's most clutch players, as well, having already canned two buzzer beaters this season.

Chris Bosh: Bosh is quietly having a very efficient season and stepped up big time against the Hawks in a thrilling triple-overtime victory during which neither James nor Wade participated.

Heat Stiffs

Eddy Curry: One of my perpetual Stiff List denizens, Curry pledged to get into great shape this season and still isn't healthy enough to appear in an NBA game.

Shane Battier: I'm actually a big Battier fan, but his attempt to gravy-train his way to his first NBA Championship has him averaging career lows in scoring (3.7 ppg), field goal shooting (32.6%) and three-point shooting (32.0%), his supposed specialty.

Final Thought...

The Nuggets sure could use a nice bookend victory after an awkward week by beating the Eastern Conference champs.

Bring It....

Monday we say a tired and sloppy Nugget team lose to the Hornets.

Wednesday we say a rested and sloppy Nugget team beat the Nets.

Friday I hope to see a rested and sharp Nugget team against the Heat.

If so, I think they have a good chance at winning. Ty (hope he is back) and the bench will be key. Yeah the Heat are gonna try and bring it, but the Nuggets have a good chance of wearing them down. It is the last game of a 5 game road trip for them. 3 of those games going to overtime(s). And yes it would be nice to get a signature win.

probably because of the Altitude, I mean isn’t his stats against Denver his entire career been well below his real career averages? It seems like it. I like our chances.

I think Brewer is definitely thriving because of the Nuggets’ style of play. I really love watching him this season, gives it his all on both ends at all time.

I was surprised at how well he shot the 3 the other night against NJ—if he proves he can make that consistently, it would be great for the Nuggets.

This game could turn on turnovers

The heat are turnover prone, and the Nuggs are n.1 in steals. If we hound them into mistakes while limiting our own bobbles, then I like our chances. Rudy and Corey are key here, especially if Ty is a no-go.
This one would be sweet, but I make no prediction. Go Nuggets!

by slader on Jan 13, 2012 1:48 AM MST reply actions  

I agree

If the Nuggets get sloppy with the ball, there’s no way anyone in the NBA is capable of stopping Lebron in the open court with a full head of steam. If they make silly mistakes its gonna be a long night.

I say keep a single defender on lebron (he’s gonna find his, he’s just too good), but if you have to double team him, the defensive rotation must be quicker- I’ve seen the nuggets do it a few times this season, but they haven’t really been consistent- resulting in wide open threes for their opponents

They also have to box out and get a hold of those defensive rebounds. Giving the heat second chance points just isn’t an option. Get physical with Bosh and make him work for his rebounds and points.

The outside shot hasn’t really been a problem. Denver has shot better these past three games- I guess it really was all in their head since the outside shots are dropping now. That might be the real key in this game- keep the ball moving and dont let the offense stagnate. Stick it to them inside and when the defense collapses, kick out and bury the three- simple and nothing fancy (besides I dont think GK has any other plays)

by Japheth:the.other.kind.of.asian. on Jan 13, 2012 8:58 AM MST up reply actions  

Defense

I think they need to play zone the entire game. And stay as big as possible on defense. Miami depends on finishing in the lane, takes very few three pointers. Play zone and pack the lane, that’s the key tonight.

by ThrowItDownBigManThrowItDown on Jan 13, 2012 9:23 AM MST up reply actions  

That is absolutely the key

Make them shoot from outside, collect the rebound and be off to the races. But GK doesn’t like to play zones.

"When I played, this is how I liked to play," Karl said. "It’s a combination of North Carolina, Phoenix Suns, Doug Moe. There is a commitment to running all the time."
Smith's mistakes throughout the series have bothered Karl. "And then, of course the one with eight seconds to go, from 50 feet," Karl said. "I just love the dignity of the game being insulted right in front of me."

Honestly I think Nene could have a 22-8-6 night.

He could even have more assists then that. Miami doesn’t have anyone to match up with Nene. I say for a least 10 possessions we need to give him the ball in the low post. If they double him, then it will leave 1 of our shooters open.

Nuggets always get up for national TV games against teams like the Lakers and Heat

However, interesting note from the 5-on-5 from ESPN this morning, when asked, “what is the biggest problem facing the Nuggets?”

Tom Haberstroh, Heat Index: Shot distribution. Question: With Ty Lawson, Danilo Gallinari, Arron Afflalo and Nene on the team, guess which two players lead the team in shots per minute? Answer: Al Harrington and Corey Brewer. That ain’t right.

I did not realize that. I think Al is having a great season so far, but there is no reason that Corey Brewer should be above Nene, Lawson, Gallinari or even Afflalo. Maybe the numbers are skewed because of the uneven PT, but really. Nuggets need to rely on Lawson, Gallinari, Nene and Afflalo more than Harrington (despite his good play) and Brewer.

Thank you.

Chandler, who will be a restricted free agent when he returns from China, will weigh his options but there’s a strong possibility that he ends up re-signing with the Denver Nuggets. General manager Masai Ujiri wants to bring back Chandler after trading for him last February. Chandler’s agent, Chris Luchey, confirmed that the two sides have been in contact frequently throughout this process.

"We speak to Masai quite often, in great detail about the future of the team and about a potential extension with them," Luchey told HOOPSWORLD. "One day at a time is all we’re doing."

I haven't been convinced by this Rudy as PG talk.

Obviously he has the awesome no-look over the head as he is falling out of bounds alley-oop to Faried. That puts him on SportsCenter with an assist. He is a play maker, yes. But I don’t seem him as a game managing, take care of the ball, run the “offense” (that we only sort of have), type of point guard. I don’t know that he has the handles to play PG. I don’t know that I like him guarding a PG.

He’s definitely got a role on this team, but I just don’t think it is as a PG.

I'm not talking about one assist

He logged 8 dimes last game when Ty was hurt and Miller was starting.

Look: I’m not saying it is ideal, but Rudy isn’t making a stink about coming off the bench like Miller and doesn’t have the trade value Miller does. I think Miller is excellent trade bait — though I do prefer him at back-up PG to Rudy.

Plus, there’s Stone, who may well develop. I just don’t think it will be in time for a playoff run.

Trade some assets (good players w/ reasonable contracts, a pick, expiring contracts) for a Howard rental. Set a 7-8 man rotation.

If it doesn’t work, lose his contract at year end, use $ to sign Gallo and Ty. If it does work, perhaps he thinks about staying.. go from there.

I don't see a lot of extensions

under the new CBA. My understanding is that the max extension is 2 years. If they play out their contract, they can get 4 or 5 years, depending on if they switch teams.

Formerly KS and CS

by ThrowItDownBigManThrowItDown on Jan 13, 2012 1:47 PM MST up reply actions  

And I am wrong
Under new collective bargaining rules, Westbrook is eligible for a four-year extension that would kick in at the start of the 2012-13 season. The new rules, though, allow teams to designate one player who is eligible for a five-year extension at the maximum salary, which would be 25 percent of the salary cap.

So I think 4 year extension unless they use the max salary designation. The two year limitation appears to be for players with years left on their contracts who are not on their rookie deals.

Okay...OT ish but not really

Weird dream. I went to a sports bar in Denver. There were Nuggets players there and Chris Bosh. And most oddly I ran into Melo and started talking to him about how I still liked him and didnt hate him for leaving Denver. Then it turns out they were filming a commercial about his return to Denver to play against the Nuggets. I ended up in the ad with him somehow and I got to deliver the punch line. I can’t remember what the punch line was but it was something to do with him leaving Denver and was funny.

I think that is the first time I’ve ever had a dream about the Nuggets.

I think lots of signs point to Denver ascending

yep despite a so so last week.

Gallo is flat out playing like an all star this calendar year. Just wait until his outside shot stays consistent. His efficiency will be off the charts. Also helps Nuggets in many ways. Passes well, rebounds OK (dont worry about low numbers, Gallo doesnt chase rebounds away from team mates to pad stats)

AAA showing signs of getting into playing form. Huge for us esp because he’s our real leader.

Rudy joins Gallo in having a bust out January. Excellent considering he comes off the bench. Good all around game, high basketball IQ

Brewer could be a real wild card, weirdly built, must be a real pest to opponents who have to deal with his height, speed, jumping ability. May also be developing a consistent outside shot. Scary good potential.

Expect Nene to be Nene. Erratic but could be the star from time to time.

A bit of a dip for Ty but he doesnt worry me at all.

One real concern. When the hell is Mozgov going to contribute? I like him but he does look clueless too often. I think its all in his head and much of the negatives could be turned around real quick. Team mates have to help here like Nene did by helping get Moz involved early in last game (or was it the game before)

I havent backed Koufas but have to admit that he has looked comfortable on the court and really has merited playing time. I still think that we need to develop Moz as starter and KK as reliable substitute and keep nene at power forward.

I agree with everything you say

But am not sure about ascension, because the defense seems to be dropping off. Tonight would be a great time to correct that. Go Nuggets!

You don't need a practice to fix the problem

You need the coach to stop asking players to play out of position. Harrington can’t guard C, Gallo can’t guard PF, and AAA can’t guard SF. Play guys in position and the defense and rebounding will improve.

We just need to pack the lane and dare Miami to beat us from the outside

My hunch? Wades a good outside shooter, not great. James is an avg outside shooter, not good. Bosch is still 7’ tall. Let him beat us from 17’.

Stop their break, crowd middle, be efficient on offense and we’re fine.

Oh, on any given Sunday…but if i HAD to bet, ‘Id take the Nuggets> Just think. Is there any real sign that Miami is better on the road than we are at home? No freakin’ way!

Wade good from outside?

His career % from beyond the arc is like .281 which is not good at all from deep. He is good until about 20 feet, but after that, his numbers drop off a cliff. LeBron is good from outside, but he isn’t shooting from outside this year, he is trying to get in the post. I could care less is Bosh goes for 20-25 tonight because he won’t beat us by himself.

Good post, sgiustra

IMO Mozgov is still a work in progress. He doesn’t show yet any interesting post moves. The guy is smart, no doubt (he loves to read Dostoevskij’s novels).
KK, I think, is better than him under the boards, in terms of offence and defense. He is much more mobile and elusive than Moz, without being less powerful and efficient. But GK doesn’t see him very well, it seems.
Between the two, it seems to be the same difference that can exist between a tank and an eel.
To me, against some kind of teams, could be better playing with two Centers, instead of two PGs.
Nene and Moz, Nene and KK, Moz and KK, exchanging their roles as C or PF. While Gallo could shift back to 3. The 2 and 1 spot could be filled with your choice.
The depth of the team is so great and so fine that eventually just remains to balance the ingredients in the right way, as it were a chemical formula.

I agree that the offense is looking very good, but the defensive intensity is starting to get slack.

Funny that Rudy seems to have the quickest hands on defense, along with Brewer. Also, their rebounding rate is really a weakness. If they could just hold onto half the balls that they are in position for or touched first, they would be much better off.

Finally, I’ve watched NBA for 42 years. James is so great its scary. If he’s not the greatest in the last 2 minutes, so what. I’ve never seen anyone with a better all around game than LBJ the 1st 46 minutes.

>Crazy alert here → Jordan will probably end up with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or even 6 more rings than James but James is a better all around basketball player because he dominates every aspect of the game. Jordan, or Magic or Bird could not even aim at doing so much less do so.

at is a very very pessimistic way of looking at it

the Nets hit 20 three point shots. The Nugget percentage was higher, but what the Nuggets hit in terms of actual three point shots was slightly above normal. The Nets were in the stratosphere.

You can’t place that all on the Nuggets as a team. Much of NJ’s 3’s were while the Nuggets were up by over 20…so why would they play lock down defense on a team that’s chucking?

I am not backing down from the claims I made in the preseason that this team is going deep. I’m just making a common-sense point that Denver’s effort has been lacking — obvious enough in the two losses, but clearly still a problem in the win against New Jersey.

Nuggets working on extension with Gallo

I don’t think Nene and AAA’s contracts are as prohibitive as the media makes them out to be.

The Nuggets have a bad history and reputation of waiting till the last minute

an extension to Gallo now would be the ultimate sign of good faith. I know for a fact the Nugget view Gallo as their star, so I think they will make every effort within reason to make this happen.

If gallo has the year that I'm projecting,

letting him test the market could be a disaster for us because Gallo could fit in anywhere and be part of any star triumvirate. Just saying…

by sgiustra on Jan 13, 2012 7:39 PM MST up reply actions  

hope so because

Gallo is in the naive phase of his life. But if he gets out there and sniffs around, if he starts padding his stats a bit, we wont be able to afford him.

Remember, no one on Denver wanted Gallo because they didnt know a Gallo from a Galleon, their love for Melo being so unrequited and intense. So Gallo owes Denver nada.

Sign him now, make sure Ty hangs around. Build around them.

My take on the NJ "bad defense" game.

I think they all went into this game taking it easy, knowing they had the Heat on National TV. I was at the game, and they just looked like a team going through the motions against a truly awful team.

by roxintober on Jan 13, 2012 2:27 PM MST reply actions  

They got lucky

I think they tried it against NO too and it burned them.
That’s why you play a guy like Faried who gives it all no matter who the opponent. His energy is contagious, so I don’t think it would have hurt at all.
Darn it GK…Brewer and Faried deserve minutes…give it to them

No, I actually think

Denver played pretty good D against NJ. Don’t let the final score fool you. If it wasn’t for the crazy, insane amount of 3 pointers they hit, they probably barely sniff 90. Let’s face it, you can say the 3 pointers were attributable to bad Denver D, but I say it appeared to me of more NJ just being unconscious and chucking…they just happen to be hitting. Most teams fail miserable with that plan…and in the end NJ still lost.

Oh look!

Another Nuggets fan being selective with the facts. And the fact was that the Nuggets also had a crazy good night shooting the three ball. Not nearly as crazy as New Jersey, mind.

I big problem to me was the start of the fourth quarter

They opened the quarter up by 20 points. I think george was hoping it would be a blowout and he could rest his starters. So he left the backups out there a little longer, and they also appeared to expect the blowout and gave up a lot of points.

The problem

Started in the first quarter. When Denver’s starters, minus the injured Ty, gave up twenty-eight points to a New Jersey team that everyone knows is terrible.

But, it was probably just that lucky three ball again.

It's not luck

When there isn’t a hand in your face or a defender closing in on you.

Now, I did see some amazing, lucky shots that the Nets hit. But I also saw a lot of poor defense.

Sorry I won’t shut up about this. I’m glad for the win on Wednesday, but I cannot shake the stink off from that dud on Monday night. I really want the Nuggets to make a statement tonight. I don’t even care if they win — just play well, for crying out loud.

Just not confident right now. I wish I could swallow the “lucky 3-ball” line. But I can’t.

"Lucky" is a silly assessment of great shooting

Success builds on itself. Confidence goes through the roof. Remember when Lawson hit 10 treys in a row last season? You decide the ball can hardly help going in, and then it does, again and again. Any shooter who’s played a lot of ball has had this happen. It even happened to me from time to time back in the day, most notably once in a regular pick-up game at the Cambridge, Massachusetts YMCA. The last one in a looooong run of them was a game-winning 28-footer off the glass. These things happen even to nobodies, and they were sure happening for the Nets the other night.

As for poor outside shooting defense, gotta agree with Fly that it was happening in spades during the Nets game. No team hits that many treys without poor defense contributing to the onslaught.

No. More. Stickyball.

Yes, I didn't find it lucky - really frustrating when the Nuggets just don't cover shooters.

Closing out on a guy does about 1% to affect a shot. Just stick to your man if he’s a three-point thread only (Morrow) and it’s all over.

They've been bad at scoring for quite some time now

Pierce is the guy who can get his shot, and he’s nowhere near back to form this year due to injuries. He may never be all the way back due to age, but we’ll see. Celtics definitely need some help. Jeff Green’s absence hurts their offensive punch, as well.

Picking up Bass has been great for them, but he’s not the answer to their problem with putting points on the board.

ESPN, all the way.

Yes, the ESPN announcer suck, will mispronounce everyone’s name and get more key details wrong than a Jeff Morton game preview. But you know what? It is insightful to see how the local team is presented to a national audience.

And it is good to get away from the homerism and weirdness that Hastings and Marlow bring to the action some nights.

When Marlow tries for a joke and Hastings purposely says nothing even though it is his job to fill up air time when the play-by-play guy isn’t talking.

They have the best sort of awkward chemistry. But I’m always way more curious to hear what announcers geared toward a national audience would say.

he tries to pump fake to the rim too much and the defender is ready for his driving too much by giving him a few feet and daring him to take the 3. I know Lawson can hit it too.

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
