Nuggets at Wizards: What to do against the NBA's worst team? (5pm MST)

by Andrew Feinstein on Jan 20, 2012 9:17 AM MST in Denver Nuggets: Game Previews & Game Threads

Denver Nuggets at Washington Wizards, Jan 20, 2012 5:00 PM MST

Beating the Washington Wizards - the NBA's worst team - should be no problem for an elite Western Conference squad. Or so thought the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night ...

The Particulars ...
Game: 15
Records:
Denver: 10-5 (4-3 on the road)
Streak: Won 2
Washington: 2-12 (2-6 at home)
Streak: Won 1
Injuries:
Denver: Rudy Fernandez (right Achilles strain) is out. DeMarre Carroll (left hamstring strain) no timetable for return. Timofey Mozgov (lower back strain) is a game-time decision.
Washington: Ronny Turiaf (fractured left hand) is out.

Television: Altitude TV

Season Series: First match-up.

Opposition's Take: B ullets Forever

A funny thing happened to the Oklahoma City Thunder as they were barnstorming their way to the NBA's best record at 12-2. For some bizarre reason (or an assortment of bizarre reasons), they lost (LOST!) to the NBA's worst team, the Washington Wizards, 105-102 on Wednesday night. Prior to that game, the Wizards - they with one lone victory on their resume this season - couldn't hold a candle to the Washington Generals.

So how did such a destitute team take down the NBA's (arguably) best team? They must have shot lights out, right? Well, not exactly. In fact, en route to their victory over the Thunder the Wizards connected on just 38.4% of their field goal attempts. And still won the game!

What killed the Thunder on Wednesday night was a scoring drought at the worst possible time. From about eight minutes to one minute left in the entire game, Oklahoma City managed to make just one field goal. Meanwhile, the Wizards got enough out of point guard John Wall (25 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists) and shooting guard Nick Young (24 points including 5 made three-pointers) to shock the Thunder and bring home the W.

All of this, of course, begs the obvious question: if the Wizards could beat the Thunder ... could they beat our Nuggets, too?

If history is any indication, a Nuggets loss in unlikely. Not only are the Nuggets 14-3 against the Wiz in their past 17 match ups, but the Nuggets have won six out of eight games in Washington by an average margin of 16.3 ppg. Forgetting the past altogether, the Nuggets are suddenly playing pretty damn good basketball on the road as evident by them besting a pair of teams substantively better than the Wizards: the Milwaukee Bucks and the Philadelphia 76ers in back-to-back outings.

I'm thinking the Wizards got their biggest victory of the 2011-12 season and another isn't in the cards anytime soon.

Like all bad teams, the Wizards suffer in the key areas of basketball: namely scoring, assists and field goal percentage. The Wiz ranks fourth from the bottom in points per game at 87.6 and they're second-to-last in assists at 16.1 and field goal percentage at 40.8% (they're in the bottom five for three-point percentage, too). Conversely, the Nuggets are in the top two in those three categories. In just looking at the numbers, these two squads could hardly be more different. In fact, the only thing the Wizards have going for them over Denver are their new pseudo-retro jerseys that take us back to the days when they were the Washington Bullets (with the Warriors, Jazz and now Wizards rocking the past-meets-the-future jerseys, it's about time the Nuggets consider it for more than just a few games this season!).

In fairness to Wizards head coach Flip Saunders, he doesn't have a lot to work with. Among his six leading scorers, all except center JaVale McGee shoot under 40% from the field. (How does Wall's 37.6% shooting compare with Ty Lawson's 48.3%, both point guards.) And it seems as though the Wizards dealt away one head case in Gilbert Arenas for another in Andray Blatche (more on him below).

But as we witnessed with the Thunder on Wednesday night, even the lowly Wizards are capable of a big effort on any given night. Could this be a trap game for the road-weary and suddenly injury-riddled Nuggets? Or a walkover before the big Saturday game against Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks in New York?

The Nuggets should be good enough to dictate the answer to that question themselves.

Scouting the Wizards ...

Wizards Non-Stiffs

John Wall: Wall's shooting percentage (and shot selection) is atrocious but this youngster still has huge upside and will probably find himself playing in a few All-Star Games before his career is done.

JaVale McGee: When he's not getting benched by Saunders for showboating, McGee is actually pretty imposing at the center position where he's averaging a league second-best 3.0 blocks per game.

Wizards Stiffs

Andray Blatche: Regarded by many as a cancer in the Wizards' locker room, the DC fans had finally had enough with the will-never-reach-his-potential Blatche and booed him before the Thunder game on Wednesday (to which Blatche responded with a solid double-double, go figure). Blatche's continued run-ins with Saunders and his own teammates means his days in Washington are numbered.

Rashard Lewis: Lewis is the second-highest paid player in the NBA. I repeat: Lewis is the second-highest paid player in the NBA. And he's delivering 8.9 ppg on 37.4% shooting from the field and 24.1% from three-point range, his supposed specialty.

Final Thought ...

Returning to New York for the first time since the big Carmelo Anthony trade last February probably has the Nuggets - and especially Danilo Gallinari and Timofey Mozgov - collectively distracted. They will need to put that looming distraction aside and pick up this gimme game in Washington on Friday. Because Melo and the Knicks, despite their poor play of late, will be amped for that Saturday outing and will be very tough to beat.

Not sloppy, but hard..

Nuggets need to play a sharp game. Only thing that could keep the Wizards in the game is if the Nuggets get sloppy with the rock. Can’t let any home team hang around. Would be nice to put it in the bank early, but ANY road win is a good win.

Hope the guys aren’t looking ahead to the Knicks game like I am.

I said this last night

And I’ll say it here: Play to win the game.

Forget about New York tomorrow. A win at New York will mean NOTHING if Denver loses to the 2-12 Wizards. Losing to New York on a back-to-back? Not so bad.

Of course, Denver should win them both.

I’m just saying, if Denver loses to the Wiz, I’m going to break things. No reason Denver can’t outrun and outscore Washington early, get a nice lead and rest the starters. And that’s the key to any game: get started fast.

No

Andrew usually takes the tougher, more interesting games. I don’t have a tally, so my perception can be wrong. But that’s how I’ve noticed it. And he gets the W’s usually because the Nuggets often play up to the level of their competition, just as they often play down.

i could see the washington shooters get well against us

our perimeter defense has been lackluster lately (especially when galo is a 4 and playing post defense and andre is a 2 guard) and the wiz have a few guys that if left open can get hot and be dangerous.

what will be fun about this game is the line on who does something selfish and idiotic first. with critenden on the lamb and arenas no longer there, there are still a couple of great candidates in jevalle and andray.

i say jevalle wins by posing for the crowd birdman style after a tip dunk while timo runs the floor for an uncontested dunk.

this will require something of a pass above his waste by our guards though so there are variables.

I think that Ty needs to be aware of McGee's penchant to rotate

from the weak side for blocks. He really needs to look to drop off passes to whomever McGee is covering (Moz, Nene. K2, even Bird) when he gets into the lane. I would love to see the “go up for the lay up, drop the pass to the big for the dunk” play over and over. If he does, then he will get his lay ups later when McGee has to stay home. If he doesn’t, I’m afraid we could see a plethora of swats at the rim.

That happens when you are under six feet tall and you like taking a lot of shots in the paint.

Not a big deal. And his blocks against usually come when there is no one to dish to, because if there were, he wouldn’t be taking the shot. He’s pretty smart like that.

I’m just saying. Trust in the Lawson. He’s Denver’s best player. Well, him and Gallo and Nene and maybe AAA and some nights Miller.

I'm in D.C. this week

I went to the Wizards/Thunder game and have tix to tomorrow’s Nuggets game. From what I saw Wednesday night, the Wizards have a lot of issues on that team. Their offense consists of John Wall on pick w/o roll, dribble, one pass and shoot a contested shot with about 8 seconds left on the shot clock.

The Thunder’s biggest mistake in that game was letting the Wizards think they were gonna win the game. They let them keep it close at half, with a little run to close out the 2nd, and then let them go on a run at the end of the 3rd and in the 4th like Andrew said. Perkins didn’t play well, and when you let a young team think there’s a chance to win at home, they’re going to play harder.

I think the Nuggets need to jump on them early and bury them by 15 to 20 points by halftime. The Wizards’ body language early in the game with the Thunder was horrible early when the Thunder were up 12-4. But they let them off the hook.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to the game tomorrow night, I just gotta survive power point being thrown at me all day.

If Utah ain't good

And they beat the Nuggets, then does that mean the Nuggets are even less good?

I dunno. Utah looks like a playoff team to me. But: They are def. not better than the Nuggets. I don’t think anyone is, outside of the obvious, elite teams. Denver’s problem isn’t talent and ability, just focus and mental discipline. See commends about playing down to the competition above.

Momentum has a lot to do with it

Now that they have been handed a loss, we can see how they react. If they keep crushing it, then Utah is legit. If they go the route of the Broncos or Trailblazers, we will see them as a pretty good team that went on a hot streak.

A 10-5 Nuggets with a winning road record actually tells me we have a good, consistent team that will sometimes have bad losses (New Orleans) or hard fought, unfortunate losses (LA, San Antonio, Portland).

I don’t see Utah contending for a top 4 seed or anything, but they’re already 9-5 and have a positive point differential, so you’ve got to say they’re a fairly good bet to make the playoffs at least.

You can rest in between sprints (like in the regular season)

In this shortened season you don’t get rest really, you just gotta keep going

portlands strength of schedule is pretty rough

after a string of fairly cupcake-esque games to end january, february is a pretty rough month. clippers twice, blazzers twice, mavs twice, lakers, grizzlies, spurs, thunder, rockets, pacers, twolves, warriors and suns. wouldnt be suprirsed to see an under .500 february. however, the rest of the year is much easier and we should be rolling come playoff time

sure, but it’s not going to be an amazing team that gets the 8th seed. It’ll be someone from the Rockets/Jazz/Grizzlies (missing z-Bo for several months) group, so saying they’re a decent bet to be the best of that trio isn’t exactly saying they’re world beaters.

I want a NBA team starting its bench in games like this one, as a sign of recognition for its bench effort.

The Nuggets bench is already better than Washington´s first unit, and would be more motivated than the starters. Throw them out there in a mission: show the league you guys are starting material.

Karl is one of the very few coaches with the guts to do so. Sloan is another obvious one. Love Karl.

Sounds like GK is trying to sneak some rest time for Nene against the lowly Wiz. Hope it doesn’t backfire. Don’t think it is a bad move.

2K and Mozgov need to bring it tonight. Denver depth is already proving useful. Letting players rest with these nagging injuries. If the Nuggets win tonight, bet Nene rests tomorrow too.

To be fair..

The Nuggets are actually fairly healthy compared to the rest of the league (knock on wood). Most of these are minor aches and pains. Think the team has managed them fairly well so far.

You are definitely right, but its still his call no matter how much pressure he gets.

I think that basketball would be more interesting

if it was a 41 game season. The games would mean a lot more, there would be a lot more half-court presses like you see in College.. it would be exciting but since we have the 82 game season it would seem blasphemous to have seasons where season and career long stats would never be broken.

Here's my fearful take

Possible pattern could continue emerging:

- Nugs give great effort and lose a hearbreaker in San Antonio; lose next game to Hornets due to poor effort

- Nugs give great effort and beat Heat; lose next game to Jazz due to poor effort

- Nugs give great effort and beat Sixers in OT…

Break the pattern! A good effort for 48 minutes should easily seal a win tonight.

Bynum is pretty damn good himself. In the post Bynum is better than Howard. Bynum is more imposing than Howard, he just doesn’t average the stats cuz Kobe hogs the ball.

Wow its funny that Miami beat the Lakers

And now they are crowned as NBA finalists by yahoosports and ESPN.
We are the ONLY team that convincingly beat a rested/full strength (in terms of main rotations, Mike Miller would not have helped in that game) Heat team. And yet the media just brushes it off as the Heat were struggling/ didn’t care about the game.
Though before the game all the media thought the Heat would beat us, and even the Heat players said they circled this game on the calendar because they haven’t won in the Pepsi center in forever.
Also kinda funny how the Nuggets have OWNED LBJ (even in Cleveland), Bosh (even in Toronto) and Wade and no one mentions that, but they mention that LBJ owns Kobe in the regular season??? God the national media is really clueless.

Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'

Just win..

It would have been different if Denver took care of business with Utah and NO. I do think the media is biased toward Heat and Lakers. But the only way to change that is to win ALOT. Either a long winning streak or even better a title.

Otherwise, it will be the same ol’ song and dance.

by djyoung71 on Jan 20, 2012 1:25 PM MST up reply actions

I hate to say it. But even if

the Nuggets win a title it won’t matter. Somehow it will be spun that it was a lockout shortened season. Or Kobe or LBJ just weren’t right this season. I just don’t think the national media, and by national media I mean ESPN will ever really give credit to any team that does not feature Kobe or LeBron or is in NY Boston or LA.

Wednesday night

A couple hours after the Nuggets game in Philly, I was still pretty glowing from the win and on the drive home I scanned the radio for sports talk to maybe hear some more about the game.

And all the sports stations were (still) talking about about the Broncos. Still. The station that plays the Nuggets was playing oldies.

No one cares. Except for the 200 or so stiffs.

The merger was good for me. As the site was growing quite a bit, I was pretty overloaded. Andy and I met up and had a good meeting about working together. We’re quite a bit different and I like that contrast – I think it’s good to get totally different perspectives. And then you throw Jeff in the mix and we get a totally different perspective again.

So, not only has it been nice to share the workload to try to get the readers more information, but I quite like that we bring (hopefully) different views as Nuggets fans.

And we have consistently owned the cream of the 2003 draft class

To be honest thats kind of cool that for 9 years the Nuggets have given fits to the #1, #4, and #5 picks of that class.
Hopefully we will do the same to the #3 one in that class as well.
I will be honest, I was all on the max Melo bandwagon when he was here, but damn I didn’t realize how fun the Nuggets would be when he left. I kept listening to the national media that you have to have a superstar.
I am pleasantly surprised, and I think the Nuggets can turn conventional thinking because they have multiple stars and not one superstar.

so what's everyones opinions of the wolves offering love a max extension

IMO, love is a nice player, but he isn’t worth max money. I think the wolves are over reacting and are afraid he’ll take the qualifying offer than walk. I think he’s a 3rd option, maybe 2nd on a contending team

by TyLawesome on Jan 20, 2012 4:22 PM MST reply actions

I love Love.

I think he is worth a near max, but not a full max, but there have been players far worse offered a max-contract. I just don’t know how they’ll be able to hold onto a core of Rubio and Love… Love is getting more open shots this season thanks to Rubio’s stellar passing game.

I mean, for the things he excels at that Nene is weak at, he is weak at everything Nene brings to the table such as strong interior defense, highly efficient scoring (although I’d much rather have Love take a 15 foot jumper than Nene) and he seems a bit of a plodder going down the open court.

Still, if you offer him Nene type money, he is worth it.

by TyLawesome on Jan 20, 2012 4:44 PM MST up reply actions

I meant Nene is a much more efficent scorer

with a much higher career fg%

Love is still a good shooter and the best option for their offense right now. He is a great 3 point shooter for a big man, I think the 3 pt % along with the rebounding skills is good enough that he should get Nene type money.

I don’t think he is a number one option, but he makes for a very good 2nd option, 3rd option seems a bit out there, I could see him exceling at a Pau Gasol type role on a contending team, just in a different fashion from Pau’s game.

On topic though ( kind of)

I really love the Washington Jersey but they seriously just need to get rid of the Wizards name. They don’t even have to go back to being called the Bullets. I just think Wizards sounds really tacky and random, it is like an NBA team called the Dragons…. just doesn’t work.

Best name I have seen is the Ft. Wayne Mad Ants

But instead of the wizards they should be the Majority Whips (like Eric Canter who really attacks aggressively and is kinda a douche if you lean left but I digress).
Majority whips is significant cuz its in Washington and sounds kinda cool for a team name. I mean they are going to majorly whip you every night.

Dear Nuggets

Perhaps you overlooked the memo regarding

MISSION: 5-0.

You have already managed to win possibly the two most difficult legs of said mission.

This is the easy game remember?

Please realize you actually are the better team on the floor and act accordingly.

This is your first and only warning or corrective action will be required.

Sixers vs. Celtics: Eastern Conference Finals 1982, Game 7 and Andrew Toney

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.
