Denver is having an awful start to the season in a tough West.

Never had any doubt how he'd develop. You watching all these games? How many screens you got lol


Two at a time. I am watching Orlando/Indiana and Toronto/Denver now since they're in the fourth.

He's no star young player but I'm telling you, there's no way someone can watch Jamal Shead and not love his hustle.

They seriously miss their depth like a mf lol...KCP, Brown, Green. The young guys just haven't been able to make up for those losses.

Shows how critical good rotation players are in differentiating the truly elite teams.

This is a game where they have a massive 3 point advantage too. Can't blame this one on poor shotmaking

Even though he should arguably be getting put into MVP convos if he continues to ball out, watch Paolo win MIP lol smh.

So Saric has only played 5 minutes tonight. It's game 3 and the Nuggets are already down to an 8 man rotation. Sorry, but the coach has to give his bench some run regardless of how trash you think they may be. NBA players don't get better from the bench. They need run.

I wouldn't stress it too much...you guys are all but guaranteed to repeat this year.

The only thing that can stop that is health (period).

They're done to an 8 man rotation because their GM rosters 8 non-NBA players lol

He's going to win an MVP one day with zero media love. They must not watch Orlando play. Makes no sense.


I'm on record favoring him over Chet in that draft pick. I was impressed with his game in HS. Knew he'd just grow more as he matures.

Mazzulla, Spo, Taylor Jenkins would have those guys playing actual minutes. The fact that you're this precious about an NBA coaching staff is strange.
