If we lose this game (and we will 99.9%) we need to start resting Jokic till the end of regular season and take that 3rd seed. Jokic is too tired and it's a lunatic expectation that he will win us #1 seed playing with Reggie, Watson and Braun, just lunatic Agree with this. Shut down Jamal, Jokic and maybe MPJ/AG/KCP too. 3rd seed with a healthy/rested roster.

Reggie and PWat are the genuine concerns here. As things stand they aren't up to playing in the postseason which means our playoff rotation only has 6 guys who deserve minutes. Zeke and Strawther will be key pieces in our 2028 run!

We just need to desperately avoid the Twolves in the playoffs. If they finish with the 1 seed then that's fine. Yesterday you said we had to desperately avoid the suns. Running out of teams we can compete against in the west.

Running out of teams we can compete against in the west. I have problems controlling my "panic merchant" gene. Normally I do pretty well but the last two games have taken their toll. Can we play the Blazers-Spurs-Jazz to reach the finals please?

Jokic has been playing at prime LeBron/Jordan level and Calvin Booth f*cked it up by prioritizing long-term developmental rookies like Hunter Tyson, Pickett and Strawther over ring chasing veterans that could have helped this season and possibly next.
If the Nuggets do not repeat, Calvin Booth should be fired.

Let’s face it, Murray is great but he’s Gary Harris 2.0 with his health. We can’t rely on him being healthy for four playoff rounds.
We aren’t repeating.

We have to play 7 man rotation in PO's and for that, the roster needs to be perfectly healthy and rested. Jokic is gassed carrying the bunch of losers year after year. Murray could help but he's not available the last 3 years. Booth had to be on heavy drugs to do this with the roster

I'm very happy to contend in an era where the Anthony Edwards led Wolves, SGA led Thunder and Tatum led Celtics are the biggest obstacles. I'm very happy the superteam era is over and we get to "shoot a fair one", so to speak, with other homegrown teams.

The defense of this team is f***ing embarrassing. Guys should be ashamed of themselves.

I hope you’re right, but it’s sort of delusional. We have zero margin for error, healthwise.

Conley and McDaniels 33pts on 13/16 FGs.
One of those days.

I genuinely think Reggie might be worse than peak bad Facu

Hence why you need some luck to win a Championship

if guys are completely rested and healthy heading into the postseason, the chances of injury go drastically down.

I genuinely think Reggie might be worse than peak bad Facu I don't think you need to think about it. It's an objective fact. Dude is beyond washed.
