"inconclusive"

Seriously. If it's inconclusive, it should be a jump ball.

Stop it. That was a valid reason not to overturn the call. If we had kept our foot on their throats in the third then that weak call wouldn't have mattered. If you want to be mad then be mad at how flat we came out after halftime.

Yeah, you're right. They did come out flat as I feared they would. Randle hit a miraculous shot to end the madness.

I will give the Heat credit though, their defense really did ramp up and it was really really good, but still was not feeling all of those calls Butler got in his favor.

Richard Jefferson is an idiot. Yeah, the bucks have won a ton of games in a row. Denver is still 1.5 games back of the best record in the league playing in a deeper conference.

The media really hates Jokic.

For all you sports bettors out there, now is the exact time to in-play the Nuggets down 7 before Jokic and co come back in (0% from 3, etc). What a magical moment.

Man, Jackson and Bryant have been trash during their time in Denver this year.

The bench looking awful right now

What is so good about this Denver team again? Joker is sitting and they can’t score for ****. Reggie Jackson looks horrible and Jamal Murray isn’t doing anything.

Denver still looks awful without Jokic.

He just finished before the TV commercial saying "The Grizz went on a run while the MVP was on the bench, that's something you wanna take note of". I don't think RJ hates him, tbh.

Memphis bench working over the Nuggets bench

Reggie Jackson and Thomas Bryant look so bad. You’re not winning a championship with this team

Really don't like Denver going for Bryant over a better defensive center. He is going to be borderline unplayable in the playoffs.

Three seemingly obvious fouls not called at the rim against MEM so far. Not sure what that's about. KCP, then Murray, then Jeff Green should've had six free throws...

If Bryant isn't giving you offense he's a -30 on the floor.

He produced big because he had Lebron and Russ to an extent spoon feeding him open shots left and right. Kudos to him he made them but he has zero defense.

it blows the 12-13 team away.

Hopefully management doesnt do any knee jerk moves cause they want a “star”. I would let the youth continue to grow.

That would be cool, but Brunson & Randle are so beastly right now that it would be hard to blame the FO if they used one or two of our futures to swap Barrett for someone already at the level we hope that RJ will reach in a year or two.

So I'm already bracing myself for something like RJ + Obi + WSH FRP for Lavine to upgrade us in the short term without blocking us from making a KD-offer the next time a top 10 guy asks for a trade.

Everyone definitely doesn't. Some do. :lol:

Wooderson · Post #196 » by **Wooderson** » Sat Mar 4, 2023 3:55 am

Lol at Malone constantly having 4 or 5 bench players ok the court. You'd think you'd want Jokic to carry the bench and have the starters together while he's out.

Hot take - nuggets have the worst bench out of all playoff teams.

8-15 for 17pts in 29 minutes and a -1 on a night when Brunson, Grimes, Quickley, & Robinson were also minuses...

Nuggets may be reading their own headlines.

Who wins?
