Mike Miller needs to retire

Hey im from the knicks board and I was just wondering why denver coach doesnt play barton more hes really good

I know we need to showcase our trade pieces, but our 4th quarter lineups have been terrible as a result.

Jokic just seemed to struggle against Lopez's size and strength, which is one reason I look forward to seeing him against PFs with Nurkic starting and playing Center. Speaking of which it is amazing the difference Nurkic makes in the middle on defense.

Yeah it was nice to see Nurk have an impact on both sides. Faried has been balling lately too.

I really hope Malone is going for the soft tank with some of these 4th quarter lineups.

It will be very interesting to see this team fully healthy with a training camp under their belt...is that too much to ask for ?

Truth be told I don't think we'll become the team Malone envisioned. Don't get me wrong I think we can be a really good team, but I honestly do not see the defensive ceilng out of this team that is needed for them to become elite/top 5 in the league.

I think this teams ceiling is something like top 5 offense, 10-15 best defense.

I think being a top 5 defense is going to depend heavily on Nurkic, Mudiay, and Harris all reaching their defensive ceiling. Jokic just does not have the size for the really big centers and the speed for the small ball PFs, but 1 okay defender will not destroy a defense. Also Barton and company have to get better at defense off the bench, adding back Chandler next year will help, but Nelson and Foye are marginal defenders at best, and last night it was a layup line when Nurkic tweaked his ankle in the 1st half.

I hate waking up and seeing my nuggets losing by something like one point...

It happens to often
