Felton might be out too? lol, Jamal Crawford offense here we come.

At least we aren't versing a playoff team.

I wish we had a young talent we could be blooding during all these injures. We just have vets who we know what they can produce.

Hopefully DJ takes over and leads this team.

Nice way to finish the quarter. Deficit is down to 2.

So far until the middle of 4th quarter in the game everyone showed up but the one who must show, Deandre Jordan! What's wrong with him? Really dissappointed me for last couple games.

Can't believe they actually came back from 17 down. We finally have a good bench and our starters can't stay healthy.

What a roller coaster game. I thought that we might pull this one out, but I guess not. Well this is our 3rd straight loss. My guess is that we won't see too many wins until Chris is healthy enough to come back.

close game at the end. I hope Doc is taking notes on little ways our bench players can improve so they are better when our stars return.
Shame we let Denver score 40 in the 2nd quarter.

The poor defense is inexcusable. I could understand scoring struggles, but defense should not drop off so badly with the 3 starters out

why not? they're 3 pretty good defenders. and taking out 3 of those guys means having to insert 3 more guys who won't just play their own normal minutes, but they have to play those replacement minutes as well.

I understand what you are saying, but in many ways defense is about effort. If you don't have the talent to score I can understand that, but lack of effort or awareness on the defensive side is inexcusable

in almost every way defense is about effort and awareness. but that part of it is based off of your personnel. when you replace 3 guys who give great effort and are very smart with 3 guys who don't have the history of providing that same level of effort/smarts like what can you expect? a zebra's not gonna change his stripes and jamal crawford isn't all of a sudden going to start caring about defense just because he's starting.
