In roughly the same amt of mins, Jokic has 16/6 while Nurkic has 2/1.....and he wants to start ??

Nuggets gotta take their opponents seriously. They are not good enough to come out flat or let an inferior team hang around.

Our offense was OK - Mudiay had a nice game

Most telling stat?
Philadelphia
FG% 44%
3pt 49%

Jokic finished the game with 22 min & 4 fouls. I get that he got in foul trouble but then Malone basically stopped playing him. <sigh>

You can't give up 124 points to Philadelphia. You just can't. Not at home.

Pathetic effort by out vets, Gallo, Chandler and Barton just did not have it going.......they took the night off because they were playing PHI. How do the young guys learn to win when our vets take nights off ?!&#& Those 3 went 12-33 and 3-11 from 3pt

Nurkic, screaming for minutes shoots 1 for 5, and wonders why he's sitting on the bench :roll:

Malone needs to be fired !! Vets need to be traded and start the tank !!

I don't even know what to say or where to place blame.

If we're going to lose I'd rather the kids play more, there's little long term benefit to the vets getting most of the minutes

But the vets will help us win games.I've heard that quite a few times this year when I say we should play the young guys.

I want to say something like "Philly kept it close on both of their games last year anyway"

To be fair Nurkic came in when we were down 10 in the 1st half and left when the game was tied and was the only one off the bench with a positive plus/minus.

The rest I agree with, although I do not think it would end up costing us games, at least the young guys do not take nights off and can win the games they should.
