Kings vs. Nuggets recap: Koufos, Manimal dethrone Kings

in Denver Nuggets: Game Recaps
Email
PrintThe Nuggets went on the offensive against the Kings Wednesday (Jan. 4th) night winning a laugher 110-83. All 12 players in uniform played and all 12 players in uniform scored a minimum of 6 points each. With Nene sitting out for the second straight game, with a bruised left heel, Kosta Koufos stepped in again and recorded his first career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. However, stealing the show was rookie Kenneth Faried aka Manimal - who electrified the remaining crowd with a couple powerful blocks, two free throws to ensure tacos, and a blow the roof off alley-oop from Rudy Fernandez.
What a dunk and what a pass from Rudy Fernandez. You all know the play that I'm talking about ... we'll get to it in a minute.
The Faried dunk didn't happen until the 8:40 mark of the fourth quarter. But the action before that was somewhat forgettable. The Nuggets came out and controlled the pace early and got out to a big lead. The Kings were playing their fourth game in five nights and just didn't have the legs or heart to stay with the Nuggets in this one.
Midway through the first quarter, Timofey Mozgov was finally rewarded for running the court when Andre Miller found Fernandez on a long lead pass and Rudy fed Mozgov for a nice jam, 19-14 Nuggets. Just moments later, the same play happened again as Miller found Fernandez on a leak out and Rudy fed Mozgov for another dunk, 23-14 Denver. The big Russian finished with 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists in 20 minutes, but recorded some cheap fouls once again (3). I'd like to see Ty Lawson work the ball in to Moz in the post a bit, but it was great to see the big guy finally get rewarded for getting down the court in a hurry.
Koufos continued to show why he needs minutes. His height and nose for the ball were apparent once again as he collected 10 rebounds and his soft touch around the rim netted him 10 points in 24 minutes. It was great to see Karl recognize that the Ohioan-Greek was one rebound away from his first double-double as the coach re-inserted K2 into the game for Chris Andersen late in the fourth quarter to get that 10th board.
It's hard to remember what really happened in the first half as the Nuggets were on cruise control. Danilo Gallinari, Lawson, and Arron Afflalo all got plenty of rest as none of them played over 26 minutes in this one. Gallo finished with just 8 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals in 25 minutes and he didn't attempt a single three-pointer. As a team, the Nuggets were just 3-9 from downtown. Their lowest total of attempted treys this season ... nice to see.
Andre Miller finished with 6 assists, which leaves him with 1,999 total assists as a member of the Denver Nuggets. Who will get his 2,000 assist in Denver? Miller must have been working with Andersen on the lob this week in practice. The two tried, unsuccessfully to connect on two lob passes in the first half. Finally as the third quarter was winding down, the two connect on a nice 'Dre to Birdman lob pass alley-oop to get Miller to 1,999 and it gave Denver a 85-64 lead.
At the 9:49 mark of the fourth quarter, the Pepsi Center crowd was treated to Faried checking into the game for Al Harrington. I can recall watching Clinton Portis as a rookie for the Broncos and just knowing that at some point he was going to break a long one and we'd finally get to see all that speed on display. Similar thing with Faried ... Nuggets Nation has been waiting for a jaw-dropping dunk, and tonight they were finally treated to one. But before that alley-oop that he must have climbed 245-feet in the air to get, Faried had a nice block on one end that led to a Birdman dunk on the other, 92-64 Nuggets. And later in the period, Travis Outlaw was on the baseline and started flying towards the rim for a dunk attempt, Faried met him in the air and just stuffed the attempt. Outlaw didn't get near the rim and the Rookie got to show off his skills, once again.
I'm not sure what we learned from this game. The Kings didn't have much of a shot, even before stepping on the floor - playing not only their fourth game in five nights, but the second of a back-to-back-to-back set as well. Mozgov, Koufos, and Faried got some nice experience and boosted their confidence. Now the trio must carry the lessons they learned forward and continue to become bigger parts of the Nuggets rotation.
Faried looked a lot more comfortable on the floor tonight. Right before his monster alley-oop he was actually playing nice post defense and his man had to throw the ball back out to Isaiah Thomas, which led to the turnover that led to the Fernandez to Faried play. We saw Manimal grab a couple nice rebounds, had a nice putback after an offensive board, block shots, and he was an active defender. Faried finished the night with 7 points (2-2 shooting, 3-4 from the foul line), 4 rebounds (1 offensive), 4 blocks, 1 foul, and 1 turnover in 9:49 of playing time. Having a nose for the ball can't be taught, but Faried will still need to prove himself to earn more playing time. Don't get your hopes up for seeing Manimal too much, as the list ahead of him is a long one, but this was a very encouraging game.
A nice win and an expected one for the Nuggets.
Enjoy:
Views you can use:
- The Nuggets out-rebounded the Kings 50-36, but surrendered 15 offensive boards to the Kings.
- Denver shot a blistering 46-76 from the field (60.5%), Harrington finished 7-10 (1-2 from deep) from the floor for 15 points.
- The Nuggets tallied 31 team assists, 11 blocks, and out-scored the Kings in fast-break points 31-9. The perfect stats for a Step on the tired team's neck early game.

Fun game!
Loved all the people who stuck around to watch the scrubs.
That dunk for Faried have to be amongst the best debut points ever scored.
Nice to see Rudy have a solid game. Nice to see the offense clicking for the seven-footers. Nice to see Al continue to roll. There’s always a lot of room for improvement — 27 turnovers!? — but let’s just sit back and enjoy an easy win, hopefully one of many more.

First points
I thought that was his first points, and first basket. What will he do for an encore?
Yeah
That dunk counted as his first two points in the NBA. Incredible debut. Many props to Rudy.
When I saw that pass I was angry because I thought he threw it away. But, goodness can Faried dunk. Amazing the way the Can exploded after that.

I thought Rudy had thrown it over Manimal's head

… For listening to me loudly yell, from my 5th row corner seats behind the Nuggets’ bench… “Put in Manimal”…. Then “Put in Kenneth… Faried!”
20 seconds later, Kenneth Faried checked in and just NBA minutes later… Manimal makes surely one of the Top Ten Nuggets dunks of the Year. Incredible. Please, GK… A few minutes of that each blowout, please!

As someone who was thrilled beyond all belief when Faried got drafted by Denver – this may or may not be partially because I had a joke bracket with Morehead State winning the title last year – I loved to see that from the kid!

Good win..
The Kings are a mess. The Nuggets had 26 TOs (26!!) and still a blowout.
I agree.. no questions were really answered. But a big warning, if you want to compete against the Nuggets on their home court you better play hard… really hard.
The shooting looked a little better. What little was needed. And I do like the defense, GK has everyone really busting their tail. Nuggets would have scored another 10 easy if they had a 3rd PG for garbage time. Rudy is funny at PG.
To be fair, a lot of those turnovers probably came because the Nuggets were seriously throwing the ball around with no regard at points when they were already up 20. Seriously, all those downcourt lobs?

yep, yep so nice to see
and I just want to credit our Gallo for that block on Thornton that I could only describe as sublime.
To avoid the body contact, then get the hand over Thornton’s head and flick away the ball like that, not as exciting as Manimal’s dunk but a real high level skill play.
Not all that concerned with allowing 15 offensive boards
Considering the Kings missed 63(!) shots

I can see why the team struggles with Cousins
He is clearly talented but has no clue how to play on a team. He has to be the biggest ball stopper in the league. Sad to see really…at this rate, he will have a very short career unless he starts listening to his coaches and fellow players.
Kenneth Manimal
At some point this guy is going to earn more than garbage time. This guy is like Ryan Bowen with Hops and Rebounds. He can help
us win. Best dunk in NBA this year, good for the job resume.

I have been talking down on Koufos
so want to give him his props for a very strong game. More of that son. And you can smile a bit in your postgame, I doubt GK is watching so he doesn’t need to hear you say “just happy for the win” 15 times, but then again has to be the first postgame interview ever for the guy so I shouldn’t be too tough.
The Dunk. Wow. That was fun to watch 25 times.
I was happy for his first interview
But I agree – it was kind of funny listening to him give the, “We’re just trying to win one game at a time. Good team win. Just happy for the win.” cliche speech. KK got a double double last night so no complaints here… just happy that he got to show more of what he can do.
I know Teek, me too
I still think that Moz has more upside but I’m starting to think that KK’s savvy should help earn him minutes probably at Birdman’s expense. Also, seeing him paired up with Moz is not a bad thing and that front court is awfully tall.
Moz is really starting to look like a stiff to me.
I love when he runs the floor, but just about everything else looks poor aside from FTs. As long as we are winning, I’m all for getting him experience, but I’m not convinced he doesn’t hurt the Nuggets when he’s out there. I can’t say the same for K2. He plays well, gets rebounds, has a nice touch, is strong and athletic and can jump. He is a stiff as well, but he seems to add a little when he’s on the floor. Moz’s numbers are just atrocious.
"All you fuckers who think we won't be good anymore, fuck you" - GK
Afflalo is Boss.
Its been a while
been extremely busy and distracted with numerous caos during this lovely break. Anywho hope all the Stiffs out there are enjoying the hollidays and a happy New Year to all of you. While I have been busy I have watched 4 full games and parts of the other 3. I attended the Bucks game (found 4 club level tickets for $40 total… It blew my mind really). So far I am very impressed with this squad. With how they are built and the young and fresh legs mixed with the depth this team very well may do some serious damage. Fat Al Harrington used to be my second favorite Al Harrington behind the Mr. Al Harrington who owns the Wacky Wavy Arm flailing inflatable Tube Men store but Fat Al has just jumped to the top. I really hope he keeps this play up because he is lookin like the Harrington of old who could anchor a team however he is much wiser now. Gallo and AAA still need to step their game up but I have been impressed with Ty/Dre so far. Rudy is getting there and as soon as this team starts hitting tres consistantly then look out cuz they will be able to beat anyone. I am very excited to see how this season plays out and I can’t admit I peak at NY’s box scores from time to time and can’t help but chuckle at the fact that they lost to the Bobcats tonight with Melo scoring 32 and Amare adding a dbl dbl. As of now and for this season I will take the depth. =) Catch up with ya’ll on the flip side.

It's OK to admit you peak at the Knicks
We absolutely owe it to ourselves as fans. A. Because we have an invested interest in that team, and seeing how they progress through 2014 when we take their lottery pick. B. Because I’m sick of people calling the Nuggets fans “bitter” when we actually knew we’d be a better team without Melo.
And yes, the best part about seeing the Knicks lose is that Melo still scores 30+ points…Just shows he’ll get his at the cost of a W any night and every night.
Here’s to Amare tearing his ACL in 2014
Never want to wish injury, but...
I’m pretty ok with them getting the snot beat out of them every night though. I can’t wait for the Nuggs to dazzle them with TEAM basketball and carve up their “defense” like a chainsaw through hot butter.
I LOVE our team! No offense to Melo – he put in his time here and played his heart out but since he chose to leave us I’m giving him the big raspberry and embracing who we are now. Go Nuggets!!
ooh
don’t ever wish injury upon someone. That is sinking low. What you can do is hope that Amare and Melo stay healthy and D’antoni remains the coach, that will insure a good pick for us.
As long as their guards don't develop.
But a healthy Amare, Melo and Chandler will get into the playoffs every year. They just won’t do anything once they get there.
Wishing injury on a player
has a nasty way of bringing bad karma….

Nice game.
Was great to see everybody get a chance to shine tonight. Blowout win, some incredible highlights… can’t ask for much more.
This is what I'd ask for:
Road wins. And we have two chances coming up this weekend.
"Rollin' in the club / HAPPY MEAL"
I meant specifically last night against the Kings.
But, yes, the Nuggets need to become a team that can win consistently on the road.
Westphal needs to be fired
His team obviously hates him, they have no discipline, and their season is going quickly down the toilet despite having respectable talent. I would do it this morning if I owned the Kings (and I’d keep them in Sacramento).
Maya: "What are your first impressions of Denver?"
Mozgov: "I must break you..."
Totally agree . . .
And I liked him as a player, but that team is aweful. And poorly constructed. Jimmer might be a player but how the in the world did someone think, yea, we need another shoot first player cause Evans, Thorton, and Cousins don’t want to take any shots!?!?!
Did Westphal work with the GM to assemble this squad?
Seems like the GM is really to blame, unless Westphal told him to stack the team with sticky ballers.

Finally the reasons don't even matter
because the team has long since checked out. But if you read some critiques of Westphal over at Sactown Royalty, you’ll change your mind about Westphal. The Kings’ offense is a predictable, dead-in-the-water travesty. He’s not doing much of anything to get them into shape.
It doesn’t help his cause that he’s pals with Rush Limbaugh. Or at least he used to be.

rootytoot 8 assists which was nice to see
if you watched the game you saw that long lead passes from andre led to 3-4 of those assists. rootytoot has a very decent passing eye, and that lob to faried was almost beyond belief, as i thought no way in hell he gets up to it.
really made the earlier article on andre miller very timely, indeed!!
Yeah, Rudy is typical Euro
with team first mentality and a natural passer. If he hits some outside shots he’ll be more valuable to us than JR was last year.
Even if he doesn't hit those shots
I suspect he will help us more than JR. I will miss him on the team and thought he got better every year but Rudy will still make two smart plays for every JR headcase move.
Why do poeple think Jamal Crawford is great and JR is headcase? JR does everything Crawford does but plays better defense, get more rebounds, and passes better. They both force tough shots and can score in bunches.
Seems like Faried should at least be in the rotation ahead of Brewer. Haven’t seem much from Brewer at all yet.
Also saw a blurb in the paper this morning about Hamilton and Stone playing in the D-League. I do wish GK gave more opportunities to rooks. But this team is pretty stacked, especially with Harrington playing so well.
We see a wonderful sun-soaked city nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Enos sees nickels and dimes.
brewer has played well the past 2 games
in the bucks game, his block that led to a fast break was basically the game changer. without that play, im not sure if we win that game.
let's go nuggets! who u wit?

Karl talked about this on the radio yesterday...
That while depth is a blessing, it’s near impossible to give everyone who can play regular minutes, and give everyone who is capable of closing a close game out that opportunity as well. It’s all about playing the hot hand and massaging hurt feelings afterwards.
Maya: "What are your first impressions of Denver?"
Mozgov: "I must break you..."
Guess I’m just not a fan yet. He seems to be decent defensively, but from what I’ve seen, he has hands of stone on the offensive end.

his offense comes from either being wide open or in the paint
and the latter comes if he were the last option shot. Not worried about his offense. He is quick and lanky, a perfect combo to come off the bench.
Brewer seems to be an afterthought
He’ll come in on blowouts and will get a few minutes every night, but he’s just another good defensive body to Karl.
Yeah, Brew has as many limitations as a dull knife
but his body and athleticism could serve us in the future, maybe the playoffs.
I’m thinking, put him on a small guard who is exploding on us, maybe a Westbrook. His height and jumping will bother ‘em and his speed and quickness will not allow them to take advantage of him. There’s a role for Brew somewhere at sometime
I'm curious to see him on Durant in rotations where Gallo is resting

Brewer has played quite well so far, IMHO
I’d rather have him in the rotation and Faried in for garbage time at least until further into the season. Faried is still too raw and looks lost on the court. Having your teammates set you up for highlights during garbage time is fun, though.

But he desparately needs a haircut…unless he is trying to grow dreads.
Brewer looks like he jumped ahead in time from 1976. I like his old school look.

It's just cool that Karl is getting him and others minutes as he can
Brewer got a nice run in the first half due to the all-too-clear outcome of the game. George may still have a few brain waves sparking over there on the bench.

Im always talking to myself
In the words of Melo: “I have to tip my hat to myself”- In all seriousness posting on a IPad sucks.
From Posting and Toasting:
- We’ve talked plenty about the switch-everything defense, but…holy shit. How does this keep happening? How, after reviewing film of the last game, is even the opponent’s intention to set a screen grounds for a full switch? If this is a team short on chemistry, then why employ a defensive scheme that absolutely depends on cohesion and communication?
Sounds eerily familiar!

Yeah, I have, though I will never participate
The posts there though are so pedestrian, so adolescent, so desperate that I constantly shudder at what has become of the NY basketball fan
Can Jimmer's game adapt to the NBA?
All he wanted to do was hover around the three point line, wait until there was no other shot open and then chuck it from wherever he was standing.
Jimmer is on the wrong team . .
He would have been a much better fit on a team like the Bobcats or the Jazz . . .but not team without anyone willing to pass the ball.
Alot depends on his 3 point shooting
He’s currently at 32%. If he can keep it above 40% he can have a career like Steve Kerr. But he’s a more well rounded player than Kerr to be honest.

That remains to be seen

If he's Steve Kerr
I know Kerr hit plenty of big shots, but if thats all that Jimmer is, then his NBA career will be a failure.
His shots aint going down but the criticism of him, “cant get shots off” “too slow” “too Whi” I mean “Not an NBA player” are simply wrong.
He gets good looks all the time and he could pass if the team is constructed to reward passing. But going to Kings was the worst possible thing that could have happened to Fredette. There are a dozen teams on which Jimmer would be an excellent instant fit.
Jimmer has low basketball I.Q
Did you see the play last night where he dribbled the ball at the top of the key for 20 seconds, and when he passed it to a wing the shot clock buzzed off? That is a huge mental error to not recognize the shot clock like that.

Denverstiffs- home of the most bipolar fan base on the internet
Ohhh, really cruel
a couple of plays as a rook, facing a desperate situation vs our Nugs = low IQ?
Bit of a reach.
BTW that pass you point to, I think I remember it, was actually a good pass designed to have the shooter take an available shot as the clock wound down. I think the shooter didnt have the clock sense on that one.
Also the over dribbling, it must be hard with the Kings to play with a team concept in mind. Imagine if Jimmer played with the NUgs, ball whipping around, everyone happy for everyone else. How different things might be.

Yeah, too early to make declarations on his BBall IQ
I remember during Lawson’s rookie year, he had a turnover at one point because he didn’t realize that you only have 7 seconds to get past the half court line when bringing the ball up. This kind of shit happens with rookies all the time.

he had one half-court posession
where he had three shots all clanking off the rim and he was marginally wide open on all three shots. I agree, and I have no idea whatsoever why they drafted him when they have Thorton and Evans on the team. He’d make a good fit here if we needed him, but we don’t.. I think he is in a bad situation right now, but I don’t think he will be anything special over his career. I think his career potential is somewhere around what O.J Mayo is right now.

he knew it was up to him
he seemed glad to get it for the fans. I liked how he also pushed for himself to get more time. He said something like- hopefully coach can see how i play now hopefully he will give me minutes. Ouch hopefully that doens’t put him in the doghouse.
Ouch, yeah
Karl loves calling people out in the press but doesn’t respond well to players who do it…

we win, everything takes care of itself
Remember when we dropped 2 straight and we were looking upwards at the unbeatable Thunder? Whats happened since then?
I'm glad Karl's playing such a deep rotation
It gives us a better chance of winning those second and third games in B2B2Bs.
What are predictions for us against the Spurs the night after playing NOLA? I think we have a chance since Ginobli is out, but will Nene be back?

it would've been interesting to see Fernandez, Ginobili, and Gallo crash.
it would be the first triple flop in league history!!!!

You know, since joining stiffs I've noticed Ginobili always gets swatted here
Dont understand it because Manu is one of the 10 or so true basketball maestros. Even if you hate him, hate his success against us, please appreciate his amazing play.
You know, if you were to offer me an NBA body, Id take LBJ’s and say “games on” But if you offered me a brain, you cant go wrong with Manu IMO
I grant that he is a talented player who has made a lot of big plays
But I truly think his flopping disgraces the game of basketball. I cannot respect him.

I love Ginobili's game
He’s smart, extremely clutch, and a great guy.
I’m from Argentina, so I may be a bit biased
Atheist for Tim Tebow!

the flopping is irritating
what about the shooting? Passing? defense? Rebounding? Unselfishness? Court sense? Blocked shots? Spectacular hilite plays?
IMO all those things that Manu does completely trumps a little flopping. Anyway even the flopping tells me he is trying to make some thing out of nothing. No fault there.
That's just the thing
It’s not only “a little” flopping. It’s a staple of his game. That gif above is only one of many examples that could be given.

I hate his flopping but I can totally respect him.
I wished he was on our team for years!
I thought the mistake Denver made on Martin was not offering the max to Manu. Even if SA matched, they wouldn’t have the cap space to make other acquisitions. If they didn’t match, I thought we’d havee Kobe-light.
spurs don't seem to be as good this year as last year
if we can blow out NOLA, we should feel good and be ready for that game.
We always say that every year, as long as Pop has talent, they’ll be a bother.

all last night they were hoping that the beatdown was the last straw
You beat me to it
I bet no one is happier than PW about this decision
Nuggets - Coach Killer
Are the Nuggets going to get a reputation as coach killers? I think there were 2 coaches fired last year after a Nuggets blowout.
If Faried doesn’t get more minutes, Karl’s next on the list.

Denver did this to Toronto's coach too a while ago
Just too much Nuggets
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'
Sacramento was dysfunctional.
Last night was an embarrassment.
BTW: This is the second time in recent memory that a coach was fired the morning after we waxed them. Remember we got the Toronto coach fired last season or the season before.

So, Big Al's body weight is exactly the same as last season per Tweet from Dempsey
dempseypost Chris Dempsey
The most interesting part of #Nuggets F Al Harrington’s body transformation? He weighs the exact 265 lbs he did last season.
Which leads more credence to the idea that the plantar fasciatis was a HUGE problem for him.

Although, body weight doesn’t have to fluctuate to still transform. Am I right Steve Hess? HESS? WHERE ARE YOU??

Ok, OK Cat, so a lot of us went a little overboard on
Al’s lack of production last year. So shoot ’em, OK?
But seriously, Al 265(!), we know he is an outside shooter but at his height, a muscular 265officially makes him a beast, Thgats Lebron James territory.
Any wonder why Bogut couldnt budge him the other day?
Also, with all of the hope we pin on the performance of others for the playoffs, how much would it help us to have a 6’8" hulk who hits outside shots and is as unmoveable as an iron gate, and he’s coming off the bench.

Muscle weighs more than fat
I think that’s the point of Dempsey’s tweet. Big Al a bit of flab and made up for it with even more muscle.
Wonder what Jerry Sloan could do with the Kings....
Hopefully he’s not interested.
