Roundtable: Can the Denver Nuggets do anything to stop Rodney Hood?

Adam Mares: The bench woes are not behind the Denver Nuggets. After game 5, you kind of hoped that the Nuggets had some sort of answer for those early 2nd quarter barrages that the Portland bench has put on the them but after that Blazers 11-2 run last night, it’s clear that the Nuggets are still in trouble whenever Nikola Jokic goes to the bench. More importantly, Terry Stotts seems to realize that he can lean on Rodney Hood a lot more than he has in games 1-5. How the Nuggets defend him will go a long way toward determining the winner of game 7.
