So why does it ALWAYS seem like the Nuggets have to play the Wolves on the 2nd of a B2B game ?? Do you have naked pics of the Commissioner or something ?

Don't believe it. It's amazing how guys suit up by the tip. Only believe it when they say they're out.

It’s a trap! They know, the worse the talent they put out there, the worse we will play!

We might see Denver ballboys and players’ wives in the game!

Yeah looks like they're gonna rest a lot of guys. Jokic has a nagging hammy, and of course Murray coming off the ACL and the 2nd night of the B2B.


Jmac is in, and Slomo despite getting banged up last game.

Nuggets purposely sitting their 5 just so they can trade Bones Hyland once he maximizes his minutes lol.

I really hope the Wolves don't look at the starting lineup and go into sleep mode (like they so often do against bad teams).

And the Nuggets still don’t start Bones! That should tell you something!

I want to see MIN hammer the first quarter, quickly get an insurmountable lead, and then get to watch a lot of Luka Garza and Wendell Moore Jr.

Watching Russell is such a roller coaster. Guy doesn't look like an NBA player a good portion of the year and then he gets hot like this.

DEN only starting MPJ from their starting lineup, what's that say about how they feel about the Tpups as a threat ?

Nowell plays a minute and loses his man on defense for a wide open 3 (which they made).

I've never seen the refs take away a made basket when reviewing whether a shot was 2 or 3 pt attempt. I didn't even know that was a possibility.

Prince is ice cold. He's missed a number of wide open looks. If he was hitting much of anything this would be a 20+ point lead.
