We might catch a huge break with the Bucks. Giannis tweaked his knee last night and was gonna have it MRI’d today as a precaution. So he might not play against us. Hah, so? Have you seen the bucks without giannis? They will still easily win

get ready for that 4/5 matchup with the Rockets. We aren’t going to be top 5 so don’t worry about it

Great call by our COY not to call a TO on that last possession btw. But, on the other hand when i look at the % of points scored out of TO plays drawn by Malone...it's kinda the same s**t.
Jokic is in pussy mode and will stay in it as long as we play as we do post ASB. This starting lineup is dead long time ago. Should have been dead (and not praised) after last year PO, but hey, why not, let's do the same s**t as we did last year because that brought us to 50+ wins and 1 game away from WCF. That's called being blind and stubborn. Celebration of a success that has nothing to do with that lineup.
Last year we played the best basketball and had a best record when majority of Millsap/Barton/Garris were injured. Then comes post ASB (just like this year), we go back to the same starting lineup and we go back to playing awful basketball with 15-10 record.
Surprise, surprise...it's a deja vu.
Gonna quote Albert Einstein once again "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."
To hell with Malone. Living for a day when he is gone.

You just gotta laugh at this point. We scored 102 against Cleveland! The f***ing Cavs!

It's not just a Malone issue.
Jokic not caring fucks this team. The personnel is just not that impressive.
The team doesn't have an identity. Malone wants it to be defense, which is laughable for this personnel.
LOL x 100 at any suggestion Gary Harris should be all-defense. The archetype of player he can shut down is slower PGs and really undersized (and slow) SGs.

Nothing will happen. Jokic is tired or angry at Malone. The last 3 games he's not even trying. But if he's manage-loading himself he's right. If the team can't beat the GSW and Cavs without him at MVP level who cares

Malone will never get it. He is a broken record, and not the sharpest tack in the drawer.

The worst part is the only change this team can make right now is Grant for Millsap and that'll most likely make the bench even uglier than it already is. It'll just be Plumlee/Millsap trading post ups lmao.
Malone needs to use his brain and nut up like he did with IT. It's time to go small with the bench and play Craig at the 3 and MPJ at the 4. MPJ and Craig are great rebounders for their size and barely any benches have guys who are going to live in the post.
Plumlee isn't the entire problem but just by looking at the net ratings from tonight 2 things were blatantly obvious. The starters couldn't defend anyone and the bench couldn't score at all. When the focal point of your bench is a guy with 0 skill...it's gonna be ugly.

We should have traded Millsap’s expiring and pieces for Love, as I was saying repeatedly. Now you see why.

Malone is going to end up losing his job because he's fucked himself in every way possible. He hasn't developed the guy with arguably the highest ceiling on the team, and the Nuggets are most likely going to finish in the 5 or 6 range. You can have 1 or the other. You can't have both.
He chose to not develop MPJ and the team is about to take a major step back and lose in the first round. That's going to look really really bad for him at the end of the season.

It should be pointed out again though that Jokic is the #1 problem when we lose games like this. I don't care about the excuses where we shouldn't need Jokic to play at an MVP level to win against s**t teams. While I agree, it doesn't matter. Jokic is the best player. He's mentally checked out and that affects everyone else. He needs to grow a set of balls and stop turning into a pussy every couple of months.
You can't get 8 points out of a superstar player in any games. Lebron never scores 8. Kawhi never scores 8. Harden, Russ, Luka, the list goes on and on.

Day by day. Game by game people slowly starts to open their eyes and see what i have been saying for years now...Jokic/Murray/MPJ team led by Malone is destined to fail because those 3 players talent/skills does not match with the Malone's basketball philosophy.
It's just sad that he embraced so much credit for "developing" when the actual truth is that he is holding this team down.
Sticky as a head coach would be able to pace this team to 50+ wins in a regular season just by playing talent over effort lineups and coach talent to give effort on nightly basis while having fun playing this beautiful game.
Playoffs are around the corner, teams with much more talent await for us there (unlike the last year). If you think that this hurts, better get some medications prepared for the PO. Sadly, "COY" got extended, so by default we will get yet another year of "Wasted Years-Iron Maiden"

I’m ok with changing the coach And the GM We need a ton of work. change up everything. We aren’t good now and we have no potential Teams like Memphis, Sacramento, New Orleans and Minnesota will easily pass us soon. Not all but some.

Watch Utah Houston and clippers fix games to try and get us in round 1
If you are them who would you rather play? Denver, okc or Dallas?
We are an automatic trip to round 2

We might be spared the embarrassment of a first round exit due to the playoffs possibly being cancelled this year because of Coronavirus outbreak.

That Murray guy might be good.

That Murray guy might be good. A lot of that has been playing alongside Jokic for most of his minutes, but yeah, Murray has played his best this season over the past month.

Eh he's played a lot of minutes without Jokic as he's been playing a lot with the bench lately. We gotta be fair to Murray too and just call a spade a spade. He's been better than Jokic since the ASB. Murray isn't good enough to be the #1 guy on a team but if Jokic gets back to MVP form and Murray keeps playing like this...it's a pretty good duo to have. The fact that Jokic played as shitty as he did, and as careless as he did on Serbian Heritage Night...not good IMO.
