Would've been better to go small against nuggets. They don't have a big PF. Should've started prince instead of Reid to start the game.

Finch waiving the white flag already.. Should've expected this. We only blown out their trash. They're destroying our starters. Diff b/w championship contender and play in team.

I agree with this, Naz Reid and Rudy Gobert is a genuinely wretched combo. Absolutely should never see the court together.

Waiving the white flag is the smartest thing we've done tonight.

Ant and Dlo the only ones who came to play. Ant 19 pts, on 7 of 11 from the field. Only 21 minutes. Keep them both out!

BTW, Rudy in 19 minutes had no points and 5 boards.

This is why I don't understand the push to keep Naz.

I understand he's a feel good story but we've got years of evidence now that he can't co-exist with either KAT or Gobert.

I'd like to keep Naz but you might not be able to. It depends. I could let him go if I could get a lights out 3 pt shooting guard. Especially if he could handle the basketball. Nowell failed us but we need his replacement.

Immanuel Quickley, Luke Kinnard and Norman Powell would be good. Powell would be GREAT!

Send Nowell as a sweetener??? Some kind of sweetener.

February...Naz&Gobert in the starting lineup...ok! :lol:
"...I want to compliment him, we all expected that he would take up the game, we have prepared the plan race on him, we have doubled. And, as usual, he did what he wanted..."

But somehow Gobert is a DPOY? Overrated ass mf.

....How in the world does that comment make sense in the context of the conversation?

Naz Reid is the one getting cooked, tonight.

Minott's play has been encouraging to see whenever he has gotten playing time this year & his shot looks much better when compared to college. Dude also seems to be a very good rebounder, something this team needs badly. Hope to see him get more playing time
