Denver at OKC

Starts at 5 tonight on Altitude

So much indecisiveness. Everyone looks lost.

[The Rebel]

I agree that they look lost, but they also need Nurkic and Chandler back, they are the most physical players we have and when teams get physical too many of our guys are backing down.

Can't say I am totally caught off-guard, learning experience for Mudiay. Agreed Nurkic and Chandler would have added a little physical presence, but OKC is a better team, without a doubt.

Just tell me one thing, why the heck did we resign Foye ??

[The Rebel]

Foye is only really getting minutes because chandler is out which forces Malone to use Barton at the 3. Malone could cover the minutes with more going to Harris, Nelson, and Barton. The problem with that is that Harris does not really deserve more minutes due to his offensive struggles, Nelson is getting old enough that extra minutes will hurt his effectiveness, and Barton does not have the outside shooting the team really needs from someone on the court with the 2nd team.

All true, but Foye is about as effective as a square peg.....perhaps he is still not right from injury yet ?

Nurkic won't be back for at least a month. This the opportunity for guys to step up...lets be real the team will probably never be completely healthy. Losing is one thing be they're getting worked.

Gallo isn't doing what he's supposed to.

Too many roster wasted spots on "veterans" who can't contribute consistently on the floor...Miller, Hickson, Foye and Arthur

[DaFan334]

Nurkic is expected back at some point this month. Probably won't be in the best shape until next month or January.

I would say Hickson is the only real waste of a spot. Miller, Foye and Arthur do provide a bit of leadership and can teach the young players how to be professionals. That is needed on rebuilding teams. If you don't have that, guys are not going to learn that and most likely will not develop as much.

[Exec76]

Yeah that sounds good but if your all of your leaders are riding the bench I have to question the teams leadership. Outside of Miller I haven't heard any of the other guys names used in a leadership capacity before this season.
