I have a feeling they are all told to feed Kat often and Wiggins when he's there.

These guys play different when Wiggins and Towns are missing. Still, I can't stand seeing them purposely pass up open 3s.

My hatred for the Nuggets is the same as the 6ers

Come on Milsap. oh my half court drops in. That kind of night.

Yep Towns shouldn't get a max deal, if he was a real max player he would have role players draining their open shots and Paul Millsap getting half court makes.

I had a good time watching LaVine crush 6ers recently. But some how I don't think Lavine beats this Denver team.

We couldn't afford Milsap. Remember?

It needs to be a priority when drafting. Don't draft anyone else that can't already shoot well.

Feed Diop and Saric at three when Kat collapses their D.

Bayless finally shoots and airballs. Come on.

Not much choice unfortunately. We weren't that deep of a team to begin with, and now we've got the injury bug on top of it.

It's a fairly deep team. Been playing two to three starters down almost entire season. Still no worse then a typical Love Rubio team. 6th man Rose is out a couple every other day. Teague and Rose out a lot. Wiggins missing a ton in 2019 jus collecting checks. Roco gone all season. Tyus was mia for a while. Deng went down with Achilles. Who did I miss?

Kind of curious what a 'typical Love Rubio' team was. 11-12 team was 21-19 when Ricky tore his ACL. 12-13 Ricky and Love played a total of 29 minutes together (ACL recovery and Love knuckle pushups). So I guess the 13-14 team where the starters had a +12.3 net rating (a full 5 points better than last year's starting lineup net rating of +7.3) and a truly atrocious bench.

Time to take Towns out, rest him for the next game.

Also, send Jerryd Bayless to the glue factory.

It annoys me so much how archaic we are compared to other teams with three pointers. Every damn team has 5 guys who knock it down. An open shot is pretty much a make. We are holding our breaths on every damn three we take because no one is reliable.

Frankly I don't give a * about those years and I'm glad they are long gone. Rotten basketball in my book. We ran everything through Love and that's all it was. Just like tonight running everything through Towns. That's all there is this way. At least Towns is shooting 54% doing it. Can't say that about Love.

These Players only guys just spoke about that difference with Minnesota and Denver. It's true. Diop and Saric should both have 7 attempts from 3 by now. They each have 2 shots. They could work on this. But I realize it's all just a mess, look at the lineup. Nobody knows each other.

Okogie is not ready. I really hope he has a great, transformational off season. I also hope Saric finds his fire too.

I have made my feelings known about the 3. I think it's a pathetic gimmick that should have never been brought into the game and now it is ruining the game. However, since it is part of the game we should be better at it.

That means if we get the #1 pick we pass on Zion.

Where we went wrong was signing Teague instead of Lowry. Man we could have had a total kick ass team these last two years.

I might.

Look at the game tonight. You know what Zion does? Take the ball out of Towns hands. No more Towns focus for 40 points. But I dunno. Can Zion shoot 3s? I'm not up to speed on everything he is.

Athletic freaks...I'm done wishing on them.

Can I +3 this post? Why didn't Ryan just run Tyus till he passed out?

Hey Isiah. Where is Town's Milsap? Jamal Murray? Gary Harris? Morris? Plumlee? Guess that's his fault too.
