I get it’s the regular season and coaches experiment but this lineup with Russ/James/Powell/Kobe Brown/Theis isn’t going to work lol

Good to see him back in tge lineup


even with their bench issues it's still early so that may improve but the only team I can see giving Denver some fits in a 7 game series is maybe the Celtics, T-Wolves and possibly this new 76ers team. I'm ruling out the Clippers, Suns, Lakers, and Warriors because they seem to be hoping they can just turn on a switch come playoff time.

this is a good take imo. the teams you listed and i'd add the Bucks are the only ones with a real shot vs. a healthy Nuggets teams.

It’s a 11 point lead going to fourth, I am sure he will get minutes unless Nuggets bench storm into the fourth.

as a longtime harden stan i like that harden is not getting these calls, he needs to play through that and it will serve him better in the playoffs. In the past i would argue those cheap calls harden would get in the regular szn were more of detriment than a plus because he wasnt used to playing through missed calls. Right now he is playing through the contact, sometimes the refs will call the foul and sometimes they wont.. you should still try and make the shot. Im sure thats what ty lue has told him

Clippers are doing a great job forcing the Kings to play halfcourt basketball. Barely any transition baskets.

i blame the Clippers if Nuggets roll their way to an undefeated run the rest of this regular season. If they can win with Jordan and Jackson acting like they are Jokic and Murray, what more when they actually have Jokic and Murray healthy.

Clips starters, especially Harden, looking for their shot and taking it is a big step in the right direction

Kings +2 at home.. Made this a suspect letdown game for Sacramento, it was so obvious with that pregame betting odds...

Clippers doing what alot of people expected them to do after the Harden trade. No excuse for them having one of the worst offenses in the league and having a losing record which includes getting beat at home by the Grizzlies G-League team and the Nuggets without Jokic, Murray, and Gordon.
