Michael Porter criticized Denver Nuggets’ offense in the second half in loss to Los Angeles Clippers in Game 4.
Porter ended the first half with 15 points on a 5 for 6 shooting performance but he ended the game with 15 points and 5 for 8 from the field.
Per ESPN, “I just didn’t touch the ball,” he said. “They didn’t do anything differently.”
According to Second Spectrum data, Porter had 25 touches in the first half, third on the team behind stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray . In the second half, Porter had just 12 touches, seventh most on the team.
“That is up to the playcalling, the coaches and whose hands they want to put the ball in,” Porter said. “We kept going to [Jokic] and [Murray] and they are two amazing players, but I just think to beat them we need to get more players involved. We have to move the ball a little bit better. We can’t be predictable against that team.”
“I think if I am going to be out there on the floor playing a lot of minutes, I think I should voice that,” he said. “I will probably talk to the coaches and tell them what I see being out there on the floor just letting them know, look, they know what we are doing. We have to swing the ball. We have a lot of players that can play basketball and score, so we have to get some more guys involved.”
“To beat that team, we’ve gotta get more players involved.”
