This team has a pretty low basketball IQ, coach included

And what do you know of this team from one game ??? Nice troll though

I watched at least 30-40games this year, dont let the avatar fool you i only watch Raps.

Go troll elsewhere....

After several lackluster games, I am more comfortable to let Barton walk, buyer beware !

[skywalker33]

Well WY, you may get your wish to see all the young guys get more PT, seems like a great move to me right now !!

If you don't post regularly here, and you don't - and you come in just to throw negative remarks, that's trolling and we do not care to have trolls on this board. Some boards see a lot more of that. Please stay on those boards unless you wish to contribute meaningful discussion. Thank you!

Which was more disgusting? Terrible start or being tied in the 4th quarter and still losing?

The Grizzlies looked like they were playing 6 all-stars at the same time for most of the game.

Can someone please explain why Murray, who couldn't elevate and was evidently playing on a bad leg, was given a crucial late 3 pt shot when he was 1-7 from 3 on the night?

Did you notice which Chandler showed up? Yup, not the one we wanted.

Did you notice which Barton showed up? Yup, not the one we wanted.

Was it just me or did the big 4th quarter run happen with Lyles & Craig at forward? Their stat lines looked pretty good. Maybe, just maybe they should play more minutes? They had 1 less point than Millsap & Chandler and they had the same number of rebounds.

If you are rebuilding, it's the smart move. But Malone has never believed the Nuggets were rebuilding. The man has his ideas and beliefs and is totally inflexible. If they don't fire him, then they need to trade all the players that don't fit his concepts. That would start with Jokic and I seriously doubt that's going to happen. Jokic is unique and absolutely needs to play in a different manner.

[TooBad]

You guys need to fire Malone. He is ruining Murray by forcing him to be a pass-first PG. Murray looks so uncomfortable out there. Try Gary Harris at the PG and let Murray be the SG.

Thanks for that but most of the people on here figured that out a long time ago and there have been many posts about this. Perhaps you don't understand the Nuggets though, since our best point player is Jokic while Malone's favorite point is Barton or anybody with more years than Murray, Harris, Jokic.

G.Harris would probably make a terrible PG. It's not his mindset. If the Nuggets ran their offense with Jokic having the ball, Murray makes a great second point as well as a great second SG.

Substituting Jokic in the first quarter at 6 minute mark was ridiculous move, when everybody was struggling and Jokic was better than the rest , Memphis went to plus 18 in that stretch , and it was catch up all game long , also not involving Jokic in the 3rd quarter when he was red hot in the first half was also moronic game plan. Barton and Murray with no conscience , taking bad shots when they were off all game long combined with some crucial turnovers , Millsap with boring iso's making Denver so predictable on the offense. Malone is a weak coach in both game planing and managing players, lacking authority completely . The guy is destroying season after season for Denver.

Looks like I missed a great game.

As good as people think Jokic is the Nuggets won't succeed with him as the main option. As good as he is individually on offense, he kills the ball movement on the team and is a horrible player to have anchoring a defense. The Nuggets will probably be one of those teams that you look back in 10 years and wonder went wrong with all the talent on it and I can tell you right now Jokic will be the answer. I'm a raptor fan as well and we kind of went through the same thing with Valunciunas until the coaches realized that he shouldn't be on the floor in the fourth or a focal point on offense. Jokic is much better offensively than Jonas obviously but he is probably worse defensively and Jonas is awful.

Go back to the Raps site, you don't have a clue. When Jokic is controlling the offense, we have a lot of ball movement, how do you think he gets all those assists ??? You continue to come over here with negative comments, just crawl back under your rock, J-off

remember what I said in 5-10 years. Jokic is a good passer but everything is run through him, its not team ball movement and he is one of the worst starting bigs in the league defensively. As for the Raptors they are #1 in the east right now (#2 overall) and its all because of chemistry, ball movement and defense.

Why even bother posting all those words, you could have just come in and said that you don't understand basketball on either end and saved us all time from reading such ignorant posts.

Fascinating opinion - clearly you haven't watched the Nuggets much - clearly you aren't looking at stats, advanced stats or any sort of metrics - clearly you aren't listening to the national media on ESPN or TNT or TBS or NBATV or anywhere else.

They should start Murray on all five position on the team and championship is granted, he's the real difference maker

All of that is fine but at the end of the day you're not in the playoffs with a very talented team and just got beat to a team on a 19 game losing streak. Jokic can be used on a winning team but this team will never be contenders with him requiring the ball on every possession or anchoring a defense in the 4th.

Lol, dude you really should quit talking about things you know nothing about. Not only are you trolling, you are not even informed enough to do it well.
