Re: GT: New York Knicks @ Denver Nuggets (Mon, 9PM)
Looking forward, are we close to getting anyone back from injury? This team will struggle to get wins against better teams if we don't. It's that simple. We are too thin right now. Even with wanting Thibs to trust the bench more, we simply don't have a bench. Our defense leaves a lot to be desired and without three key defensive players in the rotation, that won't change.
We can get beat inside and out side on defense because of the players we have available and the scheme we run with those players. We can point fingers all we want. We are short handed and don't have enough defensive players in the rotation. Nothing else matters as much as this.
I expect losses in the next two games if this doesn't change.

Brunson / Payne / Kolek
Bridges / McBride / McCullar
Anunoby / Shamet / Ryan
Achiuwa / Hart / Toppin / Sims
Towns / Robinson / Hukporti
the most balanced roster
when you need to go smaller, you start either Hart or McBride instead of Achiuwa (or Robinson)
Strength and Honour!

With so many players out, I'm thankful we are above .500.
Once Mitch, Precious, Deuce and the rest come back, I think we will really hit our stride and look like contenders.
All we need is to get healthy. Our complete roster is well balanced, it will keep guys fresh, and will greatly bolster our overall defense.

Am hoping KAT gets back on track for this one. I recall he usually brings his A game against fellow superstar bigs.

Even if KAT doesn't play... Don't forget that Sims is the Joker stopper.
Last January Sims started vs the Nuggets and we spanked them
