Bengals WR depth chart

Ja’Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin, Jermaine Burton, Charlie Jones

Iosivas and doubtlessly the rookie Burton can be requested to step up if Higgins can’t go.

The scrimmage had already featured a handful of controversial calls and no-calls. DeAndre Jordan wasn’t pleased with one out-of-bounds ruling. Nuggets assistant coach David Adelman might barely comprise his laughter when a foul was known as instantly as his crew established a entice within the backcourt. Julian Strawther was appalled when Nikola Jokic seemingly acquired whacked on the arm however wasn’t rewarded with a free throw to accompany a layup.

This was all within the ultimate 5 minutes of a detailed sport between two halves of the Nuggets’ roster Monday on the principle court docket at Ball Enviornment. Opening Day was across the nook. Aggressive juices had been flowing. It’s exactly what Michael Malone likes to see in a observe setting.

With a couple of seconds left in a one-possession sport, even he acquired caught up in it. One of many referees took too lengthy handy off the ball to an inbounder. Exasperated by the delay, Malone belted out a bit of colourful language that echoed by the largely empty area.

“I feel that referees have the toughest job on the earth,” a sheepish Malone mentioned moments later, unprompted, throughout his post-practice interview scrum. “I don’t care what sort of referee you’re. I imply, the blokes that receives a commission 15 bucks to return in and do that, it’s so not value it. … I imply, gee whiz.”

In the course of the NBA season, referees are as scrutinized as gamers, coaches and entrance workplaces. Some obtain notoriety for a very unrestrained whistle or a perceived bias. They’re underneath the microscope much more than traditional because the 2024-25 season begins, resulting from an officiating pattern that dates again to the All-Star break in February.

Fewer whistles.

In response to an ESPN report in March, scoring across the league was believed to have dropped in reference to midseason memos from the league workplace, which outlined an elevated officiating concentrate on offensive gamers veering into defenders to hunt fouls.

In head coaches’ conferences this September in Chicago, the NBA made it clear that the brand new emphasis wasn’t going away, in response to Malone.

“I really feel the final theme of that assembly was, ‘We’re hoping that’ll be extra like what we noticed post-All-Star break,’” he mentioned. “Which isn’t to say that they’re not going to name fouls. However we’re going to let groups play a bit bit extra. You have got coaches like (Warriors and Crew USA coach) Steve Kerr who performed and coached within the Olympics, they usually at all times discuss how typically talking, the FIBA sport is way more bodily than the NBA. So I feel they’re making an attempt to get to some extent the place — and the referees are doing the very best job they’ll do — however sort of understanding, ‘OK, how will we create a sport stream, let guys play?’ Offensively, gamers are at all times making an attempt to sport the system. So how will we not let the offensive gamers sport the system anymore?”

Whether or not or not this advantages Denver in all probability depends upon the participant. Collectively, the Nuggets touted the fifth-ranked offense within the league final season (117.8 factors per 100 possessions) regardless of rating second-to-last in free throw makes an attempt per sport (19.9), an indication that they’re higher outfitted than most groups to thrive in an ecosystem that’s extra lenient towards defenders. They don’t depend on drawing fouls to attain.

“We’ll see. They are saying they’re gonna implement physicality, after which folks begin whining, after which they begin calling ticky-tacks once more,” Nuggets ahead Aaron Gordon mentioned this week when requested concerning the league’s intent. “I hope that they let extra physicality play, you understand what I imply. We’re a bodily crew. We don’t flop on this crew. We don’t even actually embellish on this crew. So the physicality performs in our favor for positive, so we’ll see the way it goes.”

However, the attention check in the course of the playoffs revealed an injury-hampered star level guard struggling to cope with Minnesota’s physicality. Jamal Murray had hassle getting the ball up the ground and creating area within the half-court towards Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels. If he isn’t 100% wholesome, he may face issues towards conservative referees. Similar goes for Michael Porter Jr., who was made uncomfortable by Lu Dort and firm throughout Denver’s season-opening loss to the Thunder.

“There’s not gonna be a throwback to 1988 New York Knicks. Or when my dad was in Detroit with the Dangerous Boys,” Malone mentioned. “I feel the league is permitting us to possibly play by a few of these calls, which I feel will probably be nice. For a lot of, a few years, each rule that was imposed was at all times in favor of the offense, and that’s why the scoring has gone by the roof. The numbers have gone by the roof. So I feel it’s good.”

As for the defensive finish of the ground: The Nuggets allowed 22.2 free throw makes an attempt per sport final season, the Tenth-most within the league, which additionally ought to bode nicely for them — particularly now, with Christian Braun changing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as their main perimeter defender. Braun is greater than Caldwell-Pope, with an on-ball guarding model that depends extra on physicality.

“That’s nice for me,” Braun mentioned. “I feel being bodily is a giant a part of how I play protection, and in order that’ll be good for me. I feel it’ll be good for lots of people. You don’t wish to get ticky-tack fouls. … Hopefully after I bump folks — lots of people have the identical downside — however folks don’t get to flail and throw their arms as a lot. I feel that’ll be good for the sport as an entire.”

When Malone was requested this week if the principles will profit particular gamers greater than others, the Tenth-year Nuggets coach introduced up Nikola Jokic. Denver has been in constant contact with the league through the years about how the MVP heart is officiated on post-ups, the place defenders usually attempt to get away with as a lot as they’ll. Gordon got here to Jokic’s protection in the course of the second spherical of the playoffs, telling reporters, “I feel (the Timberwolves) are simply draped throughout Joker. I feel they’re simply hacking him. They’re hacking.”

Malone is mostly unafraid of selecting up technical fouls to make a degree when he believes opposing bigs are getting away with an excessive amount of grabbing.

If the Nuggets are going to be content material with fewer foul calls typically, they may need to stay with fewer going Jokic’s approach, too.

“I’m positive after some video games, I’m gonna be crying foul that, ‘Hey, Nikola was mugged on the market tonight and we didn’t get any foul calls,’” Malone mentioned Monday, laughing. “After which there are gonna be nights the place we’re gonna say, ‘Hey, we thought the sport was reffed the fitting approach.’ … All you need as a participant and coach is consistency. If it’s constant from quarter to quarter, sport to sport, then there’s rather a lot much less you’ll be able to complain about.”

The coach is aware of himself nicely. By the tip of the third quarter of the season opener, he was operating down the sideline step for step with an official, screaming that Chet Holmgren was tugging Jokic across the waist. One sport, one tech.
