He’s just not a point guard. 1 assist is unacceptable.


Been saying this.

Jakob is trade elligible on Jan 7th :o

IQ+Jak+Dick for Trae++?


Jak is going nowhere - especially if we don’t get a big back. Gonna say - Josh Cornilisen’s perspective and mine are completely opposite. Jak’s been injured. It’s really that simple. I’m thankful that our actual media aren’t making the same suggestions.

When has a player ever recovered from back problems? "Injured" is his new normal

How can you possibly know that? This is the first season where back problems have caused him to miss significant time. Raps have the best medical team in the league. Let the man have the time he needs to recover. I

No, Denver's reserves aren't good at all lol

There's no way Philly should be losing to them when they're missing their entire starting lineup and 2 of their top bench scorers as well, but Denver got an outlier shooting game from a lot of random guys and pulled it out.

So Nuggets beat us, beat Philly, and lost to Cavs only because Cavs went on a 10-0 run to end the game, but are trash?

Sometimes it's about a team system/ coach that makes losing guys hurt less. Nuggets have a great system. Celtics are the same way. They both can plug and play when guys miss games.

Just watch, Nuggets will beat more teams in the East this month without Jokic. And we want that!


Sample Size?

Their D is also really bad and we put up our worst shooting game of the year against them.

What "system" are they running without Jokic and Murray out there that makes them great?

They also beat the Celtics now. But keep having at it.
