Revenge Grudge Match

Reggie vs Clips

“Very blessed to be able to go from the 6th place team in the West to the 1st place team in the West.”

Bones vs Nugs

"Honestly. Just felt like I [was] just being treated worse than I was my rookie [season], and I felt like I was playing way better than my rookie [season]. I felt like s--t just [hit me] from [the] blindside."

No Zu is going to hurt tomorrow when we have to go small. When Jokic is sitting Thomas Bryant will probably eat. Of course he is not a good defender so it might even out too

Edit: Other key adjustments we should make.

1. When Russ is in DO NOT let PG run the point - Russ literally turned into a spot up shooter in the corner.

2. Morris should not start with Russ - this isn't a typical harp on Morris. I say it simply because Russ' defense can be questionable at times. Morris has been slow this year on defense so having two defenders like this will hurt. Have Batum or Roco take the spot. Doubt this will happen but I can dream.

3. Be on the lookout for a Reggie revenge game - I have a nasty feeling Reggie is going to turn the clock tomorrow.

Oof, looks like the Nuggets were blown out today by the Grizzlies. As a result, doesn't look like the Nugget starters played a lot of minutes.

Going to need a few minutes from Moussa in this one without Zu playing. Jokic will get his 50 but they better throw a body on Thomas Bryant

Lol. Bones vs Nugs? Poor Bones is now stapled to the bench. He may get some token minutes just because it's against his former team.
But, great for Reggie. He gave it his best and stayed a true pro till the end. I wish Reggie nothing but the best. But only if it's not against us.

I'm an "old logo fan," but I'm capable of adjusting my expectations to match the roster and coach, so I'm not impressed.

It’s Denver so hope for the best but expect the worst.

It’s Denver so hope for the best but expect the worst.

February 6:

Simply put, the plus-10.2 Jokic lineups are performing meaningfully better than the best team in the league, the Phoenix Suns at plus-8.8, while the minus-15.9 non-Jokic (which is to say, bench) lineups are doing drastically worse than the lowest-ranked Detroit Pistons at minus 9.9.

And Reggie is an ok backup PG but he's not John Havilcek. Gotta out-depth them tonight.

Why does Ty Lue hate Mann?

[playaloc916]

Welp, off to a terrible start... Why do they keep passing it to Plumlee, he's not really an offensive player...

[KL2]

Clang clang clang

[KL2]

Call all the timeouts you want Lue not going to matter unless you make changes.

[Scoundreldays]

I swear the Nuggets are in our heads still from 2020

[nickhx2]
