Looking forward, are we close to getting anyone back from injury? This team will struggle to get wins against better teams if we don't. It's that simple. We are too thin right now. Even with wanting Thibs to trust the bench more, we simply don't have a bench. Our defense leaves a lot to be desired and without three key defensive players in the rotation, that won't change.

We can get beat inside and out side on defense because of the players we have available and the scheme we run with those players. We can point fingers all we want. We are short handed and don't have enough defensive players in the rotation. Nothing else matters as much as this.

I expect losses in the next two games if this doesn't change.

Brunson / Payne / Kolek
Bridges / McBride / McCullar
Anunoby / Shamet / Ryan
Achiuwa / Hart / Toppin / Sims
Towns / Robinson / Hukporti

the most balanced roster

when you need to go smaller, you start either Hart or McBride instead of Achiuwa (or Robinson)

With so many players out, I'm thankful we are above .500.

Once Mitch, Precious, Deuce and the rest come back, I think we will really hit our stride and look like contenders.

All we need is to get healthy. Our complete roster is well balanced, it will keep guys fresh, and will greatly bolster our overall defense.

Am hoping KAT gets back on track for this one. I recall he usually brings his A game against fellow superstar bigs.

It's confirmed that KAT is playing?

Oh darn I didn’t know he was questionable.

I find it difficult to give a **** about this mediocre team

Seriously?

Even if KAT doesn't play... Don't forget that Sims is the Joker stopper.

Last January Sims started vs the Nuggets and we spanked them

looking forward to Thibs selling out to stop Jokic and leaving shooters open for 3 hoping for the best.

Hopefully Kat and deuce play because if not it’s going to be a long night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mikal break out game.

I was at that game. Nuggets mailed it in.

It’s hard to get excited for games when you don’t know what type of team will show up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Especially with the way Mikal is playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
