I do not mean to hijack the game thread but I am bored at work.

Kawhi Leonard Out
Paul George day to day
Nicolas Batum Out

ESPN giving the Nuggets a 60% chance of winning.

Nuggets are 1st in the WEST , Clippers are 6th.

LAST 10 games - Nuggets 7-3 Clippers 5-5

Leonard is out? He wasn’t on the injury report last night.

Might be time to give Preston some of Wall's minutes. Minus-6.1 per game over the last 10 games, by far the worst on the team. He's getting worse. :(

I'd very interested to see how Preston plays. Would be nice to have some more youth in the main lineup

This will probably come to a shock to no one. Another ugly start.

Jackson trying to guard Murray is comedy gold.

No energy. No game plan. Whew.

I feel bad for Reggie, he's clearly trying but Murray is too much for him.

This squad as currently coached and constructed sucks. Nothing is easy. Nothing at the basket. All long shots. They look nonathletic and uninspired.

It makes me sad how we keep underperforming like this. This team is playing with no heart tonight.

Yeah, I’m going to go read a book.

There’s no way the FO doesn’t make a trade by deadline. That or cut ties with Lue.

No need to worry guys, as someone on this forum said, regular season games don't mean a thing. As long as we can make it to the post season we'll be good.
