I have watched a good amount of Nuggets games this year and really enjoy watching them. You all will be fine especially when you get back to full strength. I haven't seen as many games as you all but I'd like to see Hernangomez get some more consistent minutes. When he was getting some quality burn I really like his game. Best of luck the rest of the way!

Thanks - most of us agree. IMO too many are focused on this year which means a first-round loss, probably. I think we get that far no matter what. It just seems as if we should be in more of a rebuild mode, but coaches often get fired during rebuilds, so Malone is playing to win - besides, that's his personality. Even when a game is well out of reach, he still plays to win - if not the game, then the quarter or maybe just a short stretch. He is very motivated to win.

Pacers have struggled, but they earned that win last night.


Agree friend. I think Malone does all right. Ya'll have competed really well on this roadtrip without 2 absolute studs. Always keep a close eye and root for the Nuggets because of their Indiana connections. Hope to see you continue to improve throughout the year.

I would use a lot of words to describe the Pacers. But struggled is not one of them. They have far exceeded expectations this year.

Best of luck the rest of the way!

Totally get that about the Pacers. I'm actually a little surprised at how well they've done. But when you look at them, they actually have some very good players and a team attitude. Like Denver, they don't have that superstar that everyone loves these days. But they play some nice team D and even team O. It seems like everyone that plays scores double-digits. I love it. Toronto has been my favorite east team for a few years now, but the Pacers are trying to win me over. (Haven't made it yet, but they're trying. :nod: )
