I know people like to look past him stringing together good games just because it's the end of the year, but he's shown more ability in this stretch than most of Horst's 1st rounders combined (outside Donte), and Horst decided to give up on that type of talent in half a season but kept guys like Marjon around for 3 years lmao. Ironic the one guy he might have hit on, he sold for pennies on the dollar.

There’s some solid irony in us trading the guy who could be another Khris Middleton.

They took hundreds of millions of public $, so we should be able to sue them for incompetence or to seize control.

Another solid outing from “Elbows Too Pointy” Giddey.

KAT - Playoffs 18.8ppg 35% 3p
Brunson - Playoffs 33% 3p, 31 freaking % last year...

Thibs/Mazzoula vs Carlisle/Atkinson...

Brunson and Tatum ankle injuries

I really hope the team is paying attention, the 6th seed path is infinitely easier and you can rest Giannis to get there...

until we see him consistently score with efficiency, i dont really care if he has some highlights. that could take years.

until i see the end result of us getting under the second apron, which could be us making a big trade this offseason, i'm not willing to judge the Khris trade.

Doc has a lot of work to do with Kuzma on offense but his defensive versatility is going to be huge for us in the playoffs. That is the reason we traded for him.

Where is that efficiency argument when it comes to Kuzma? Different standards depending on whether those standards back up your argument or not.

We traded a bonafide number 2/3 when healthy for a guy best suited for coming off the bench. You guys can keep beating this drum like he's some sort of genuine defensive menace but it's objectively untrue. His impact on that end of the ball has completely fallen off after a few WEEKS. Again, there's a reason he consistently gets benched in big games. It's great if people want to shill for what is objectively a bad trade, but don't lie while you do it :lol: we didn't trade for Kuzma to be a defensive star. We traded for him because Horst has had long-reported tunnel vision regarding his love for Kuzma for years, and he was unable to get out of his own way and then forced a trade that is objectively not working out. We wanted to see if a really mediocre number one on a bad team could translate. It isn't.

I don't know what you all have seen in the regular season from Kuz to assume is going to be impactful in the postseason, but I will gladly take whatever Kool-Aid you've got mixing over there. If he's getting played off the floor in the regular season, it would be great to stop pretending like that's going to change when the games really matter in a few weeks. Over his last 10, he's giving us a weak 13-5 on 40-26-65 splits while JOGGING back on D after bricked jumpshots...just isn't going to get it done.

Just flush NBA media down the toilet and start over with new people. The way this league is covered is absolutely hilarious.

Kolek has been getting some first half minutes lately. The last 2 games and the first half tonight he has 22 assists in 42 minutes.

Lebron’s streak of 10+ points in games could be under threat.

AJ didn't even shoot the ball that well tonight, but then you look at Kuzma and he's yet to even make a field goal in this nuggets game lol. Horst boned us.

It would be easier to ignore AJ Johnson updates if he wasn't showing some signs of life while Kuzma looks like a dunce for us :dontknow:

Horst probably should be out after this year, dude hasn't pulled one right lever since they won the title.
