i don't think anyone could win when your teammates were bricking wide open shots lol

[blargh]

Never thought I’d say this, but Shake physically manhandled the Nuggets tonight.

I didn't get to watch last night, but it looks like Denver got nothing from anyone outside of Jokic. Still...A win is a win and i'll gratefully take it at this point. Losing sucks and we were on a roll for about a week and a half.

I really dislike Aaron Gordon. Don't know what the Nuggets were thinking with that trade and extension.

Gordon is bad longterm money. Murray's ACL makes him a risk to be bad longterm money. Porter's back makes him a risk to be bad longterm money.

When healthy, they're a tough team, but man...that's a questionable when.

Agree, I think Gordon's problem is that he's an athlete first and a basketball player second. Just never really impressed me for what little he does. Murray is a star, but that ACL is going to be tough to overcome. Unfortunately I don't think he ever reaches the level he was capable of. As for Porter jr....I'm just glad he's not our problem.

think Reed may be on the block

Im not high on him. But i really like his defense against Giannis which is very close to as important as a perimeter shot creator on our team.

For that alone he's worth holding on to. Probably easier to find a 2nd unit shot creator than a guy who can D up the Giannis' of the world.

Reed has higher upside if he ever figures out how to provide offensive value beyond OREBs because his 1-5 switch-ability plays very well deep in the playoffs. But looking at him right now I don't see the roadmap to offensive competence. That said, he is a strange player and I would not bet against him figuring out a way to do so.

Bassey looks like your standard competent backup C. Which, given the Sixers inability to staff that position without throwing $100m at the problem, is no small feat.

I don't disagree. To me it's well worth it for a playoff team to keep a guy like Reed with a very specific and valuable skill that isn't easy to find on a 15-man roster. I'd love to see him succeed here.
