Murray goes for 16 in the 4th....Malone needs to play the kid more before the game is out of reach

Why does Barton always have the ball in his hands when Nelson isn't on the court?

So what's new with confusing minutes distribution?

Nothing new there.

Yup, I've complained about that before and the answer is simple: Malone refuses to give a rookie a shot.
#7 pick - #12 in mpg for rookies this year

The No-Hustle/No-D award for tonight goes to Mr. Nelson. He takes a three and watches it bounce off the rim while the man covering him runs down to the other end for an easy layup. His man rolls by him and Jokic ends up trying to cover two players on their way to the basket - over and over. He seemed to be covering Irving in the first half and in the second half, he seemed to be covering Liggens more. Why the change? He was not hustling on defense. On offense, there was a tipped ball and he slowly jogged towards the ball while a Cav was racing, he barely got there. On one play, he thought he was fouled and stayed to complain to the official while 9 players ran to the other end. On another play, Jokic is dribbling the ball and someone swipes it from behind. Where was Nelson? Trailing the play so far back Jokic couldn't have heard a warning, if Nelson had given him one.

Nurkic didn't play. Hard to understand on a back to back unless maybe he is being held out.

Jokic have horrible treatment by referees , at least 2,3 times per game this season he's been fouled in an active shooting and they don't whistle it in his favor, on the other end they can't wait to call him for a foul :-?

I think coaching stuff should address that publically , just to let them know that their star player deserves some respect.
