Chet's weight is less of an issue then turning into jello in pressure situations.

He has up to this point been very good in pressure situations. Many clutch free throws and threes that I can recall. Last night is the first time I can remember him coming up short in crunch.

Denver should have fired their coach sooner lol. Feels like OKC is going to have to win a couple of super tight games to win the series but that Westbrook factor cannot be discounted. I still got OKC in 7.

Denver has to let Chet get the ball down the stretch in close games now that we see he’s a choker.

What's the deal with MPJ? Is he injured or something? His contract is looking like an albatross at this point, his defense/offense is looking nonexistent and his effort/hustle is at a 0.

He's always sucked.

This. They should've traded MPJ while he still had little value. Now I don't see a team willing to take him on. But I could be wrong. There are a lot of bad GMs in the league.

He's injured. Notice the patch on his arm. He can barely raise that arm and yet he plays.

I wonder what Chet’s diet is like. Does the guy only eat one meal a day or something?

He probably has a fast meanolism and I don't think his frame can handle more weight. It's why I said he can't play C against real bigs when he entered the league. Same with Wemby. These guys have the KD body type.

I don’t think people realise how insanely difficult it is for someone of that height to put on noticeable weight, especially during the season and without anabolic assistance.

His calorie intake just to maintain his weight would be 4000-4500 calories. If you’re eating clean, that’s quite a bit of food. Then when you take into account the schedule etc. He could have someone prepare everything for him though which would make it a bit easier.

You also don’t really want to be packing a heap of weight on a frame like that too quickly. His body needs time to adapt.

Chet will never be a C. OKC should develop him as a PF and we might get someone similar to KD. If they force him into a C he might flame out. That being said he does need to put up more muscle and get stronger.

I like and root for Jokic but even I know he's been using underhanded Chris Paul level of tactics this post season. Between the flopping and stuff like this, it makes me wonder how bad Calvin Booth has made the situation
