Nuggets played 4 bench guys tonight. Here are the plus/minus numbers:

-14
-23
-14
-14

It all starts there.

They really have everything. A superstar guard who gets to the rim at will. Long rangy and athletic wings who run the floor and play great d. A floor-stretching big who's gonna be a future all-star.

The only weakness might be a lack of shooting. But they have pretty much everything else. And they're young.

Jalen Green is so unimpressive as a basketball player. Poor IQ, not a good shooter, physically weak, handle and strength aren't good enough to consistently penetrate, lack of touch inside, lost on defense. I get that he has nuclear athleticism, but he'd have to improve in so many facets to be a clearly positive player.

You take Jokic off and the team (even with starters) completely falls apart. Might be worse than the Warriors were without Curry last season,.

Warriors announcers really out here saying Rick Barry has an argument for best SF ever. Over LeBron lmao.

He's IQ is the only main concern for me. The rest will improve.

I don't remember them being this bad a few years ago. The commentary today has been atrocious. Steph is the only guy they talk about and some of the things they say about him are so cringeworthy.

Grizzlies should pound at the chance and get an Allstar imo with all their 2022 draft picks they have.

Strike while the iron is hot.

what's the difference between Jordan Poole and Jordan Clarkson?

Shake Milton?

Monk for Thybule

But I though Thybule was a core piece of their future and was a reason they can’t accept a better player who plays his position

WTF did i just witness lol? Poole stiff armed Matthews and they let it go? Looked blatantly obvious.

Poole has better handles. Clarksons handles has always looked shaky to me. Obviously better than when he was with the Lakers but still looks shaky whenever someone puts pressure on him. Looks like a turnover waiting to happen.

If I’m the GM I’m not getting cute and compromising the teams chemistry. Grizz are still missing their best perimeter defender and second leading scorer in Dillon Brooks. This team is gonna be dangerous when he gets back.
