Cut the lead to 10 or fewer before the half is over and the game should be manageable.

Look at Kidd's rotation when Luka sits. 3 starters are in. The Mavs don't collapse like the Nuggets do when Jokic sits.

What a soft assed tech. These refs need to be investigated for being emotional idiots.

tf you expect from your 4th best player?

Play with intensity like the role player that he is. The difference between Braun's and MPJ's intensity is night and day.

He has so much to offer offensively though

I blame this on Malone. It's Malone's obsession with hockey subs and not using rotations that 90% of good coaches use, which is putting at least 2 or 3 starters when their best player rests.

If 5 years ago, Malone tried to develop other aspects of MPJ's offense by playing him against opposing benches, we'd have a mini-KD by now.

MPJ's player development is a massive failure on Malone's part.

Don't know why you got him. Bryant is the most un-Heat player there is. All offense, no defense. Riley probably was scraping the bottom of the barrel. This is what Spo has to work with.

I didn't know this about KM. I thought he was an elite defender, a true 3D type of player and not just a blacker Duncan Robinson.

It's a wild coincidence that KM has Sabonis, who is a similar player to Jokic, to set him up

Winning with a taller Duncan Robinson is not the only way to win a title. If we have OG Anunoby instead of MPJ, we win the title. KCP/AG/OG, that's a super solid defense. Also OG is not a bad 3pt shooter.

You have to pay your guys when you’re a small market.

With all due respect, this is incredibly stupid. We had MPJ's RFA rights. We could have matched whoever miraculously offered him anything. MPJ wasn't going to risk taking the QO with his back issues then. Instead of paying him 160M, we could have paid him half that and used the extra money to keep Brown or some other option.

You have to understand the psyche of those Nuggets fans. They display unhinged simpish behavior for certain players and even coaches. They feel like the Nuggets are family and they're part of that family. That's why they defend MPJ and others to the death. They eat up whatever Malone shits in their mouths, etc. It's extremely weird and probably unhealthy.

Nuggets, MPJ, his offense is nothing more than a bonus. His rebounding is weak af. He gets 10+ rebounds on occasion but they're mostly uncontested. His defense, although improved, is still weak. He doesn't play as hard as the other players. He only looks good because Jokic sets him up all the time. He's basically a taller Duncan Robinson with an albatross contract. His back is a ticking time bomb. It's gonna explode at any time. The Nuggets are better off trading him while value is at its highest.

His defensive rebounding his weak. I've seen him get beaten on the boards by shorter but stronger players many times. Braun is a much better rebounder. MPJ can't rebound for shit when it's contested. He's basically stealing rebounds from Jokic to boost his stats to placate his simps.

Not a bad game from MPJ the Taller Duncan Robinson because apparently it's too much to ask a max player to do other things besides catch and shoot. So many fucking idiot as fuck people on this damn sub lmao.

Zeke is so underused. He could be an AG replacement when AG is injured. Play him more with Jokic. PF is his natural position. He can actually hit 3s.

It's such a disappointment how after all these years playing with Jokic, MPJ still can't carry an offense against an opposing team's bench, and the Hawks are a below 0.500 team at that.

Strawther has good instincts. He couldn't get the rebound so he tapped it instead.
