Zubac does a decent job, but he can't play the whole game and Harrell has no chance against him. I wish they had Boban in this series- I remember Boban giving Jokic a lot of trouble.

Jokic did not play a second in 6 games. I doubt he will play at all. Even in bubble games, he just a few minutes of garbage time total.

can someone translate this for me? I don't gamble. What's 6 point dogs?


means vegas expects clips to win by 6 points.

the caveat to that though is it's not vegas that determines the line in an arbitrary way. it's the amount of money that goes into vegas that shifts the line around. so it'll move depending on the amount of betting occurring.
Oh ok.

I think trezz eats this series if his legs are underneath him

I love that I open this thread and see Rachel right out the gate. Must be a good omen, for something. Probably not. Good luck to you guys.

Noah's insurance. I don't think he plays and if he does he's not going to look sharp. He's never played live reps with this team before

Is Beverley gonna play basketball this series?

I'm guessing he is one of the people who would be guarding Jamal Murray.

Yes I believe so. He practiced and everything was alright

Unless the nuggets have signed Boban we should be ok. Doc wouldn't have to play Trez against Bobi.

I think they play quiet well when the other one sits too. If they can play 30 minutes together and than 9 minutes alone per game, that would be very ideal for us.

She is the Nuggets dancer featured at the start of this thread. On the Scout Board, I used to open game threads with a SFW shot of a hot dancer from the opposing team.

ah, thanks. I'm surprised people pay attention to the cheerleaders :lol:

On tv, they never really show them and at games, no one really pays attention to them or so I thought.

Much easier to stagger them when both are great 2 way players capable of putting defensive pressure on the opponent's best player on the floor while keeping offensive pressure on the opponent. Plus, when they are on the court with mostly 2nd unit players, they can relax a bit. Lob City didn't have that luxury. We had DJ that had to defend for two to four when he was on the court, but created a 4 on 5 on the offensive end. The Lob City benches would get smoked by our current bench, so Doc couldn't keep starters out too long.

Yep. Every game it seemed the starters would build a 10+-point lead then get some rest at the top of the 4th quarter. If the bench pissed it away quickly the starters would have to play the last 9 minutes and that's when we'd get our losses. If the bench could hold out until the 6 or 5:00 mark, it was probably a win.

I'm sure Doc will still find an excuse to have Reggie "guard" Murray.

Just trying to liven up the Board a bit with something other than trollish remarks or "Fire Doc" BS.

We have depth on them. Time for some folks besides Kawhi [and Zu!] to step up.
