Jokic is a superstar, he has the right to coast if he chooses to. That wasn’t a Coast That was sleep walking. Why did he even Bother playing?

8 pages on a scrim game! (Rock is responsible for 7/8 tbh) Well, time to get ready for real deal. Can't w8 to see the lineups, rotations and minutes distribution, especially for MPJ and Bol Bol. It's gonna be experimental until the playoffs. There's no way Malone could have learned enough from these games, especially since 2/3 of the guard rotation was unable to play. Then you have the addition of Bol and the way MPJ played, everything is still up in the air. You can experiment in first 1-3 games max. Last 5 you gotta work on what you gonna roll with in the PO. Nothing is up in the air, Jamal/Garris/Barton/Millsap/Jokic will start with Monte/Troy/Craig/Grant/Plumdog bench unit come PO time. MPJ and Bol Bol mistakes on D will cost them not to be in rotation come PO time 100%, or if so they will see garbage minutes or 5mpg at best. I hope to be wrong on this, but if i am about to watch the same s**t as last year playoffs, with same lineups/rotations, with 2 top tier talents glued on the bench...someone's gotta go, if not both TC/Malone. Like imagine if Phil Jackson played Eddie Jones over Kobe Bryant in his first 2 years (Bryant was not good)...Our long term success depends on developing MPJ+Bol Bol while still on rookie deals. Garris, Barton, Grant, Craig, Plumdog etc. are not going to win us the chip, like never. Jokic/Murray/MPJ/Bol Bol can.

If we're not going to re-sign Plumlee it's a waste to keep him in the rotation and neglect Bol Bol.

Garris, Barton, Grant, Craig, Plumdog etc. are not going to win us the chip, like never. Jokic/Murray/MPJ/Bol Bol can. Maybe, but we're still not going to see what this team can really do with essentially no 5-on-5 scrimmages and 3/4 of our regular guard rotation on the sidelines. Really, Murray played 1 game, Barton played a few minutes and sat, and Harris and Morris haven't played yet. They're going to be rusty AF. I bet this very unique situation opens up minutes for guys like MPJ and Bol. Malone won't be afraid of the consequences of playing them because the blowback will be minimal if it doesn't go well. It's interesting how he didn't play the deep bench guards though. Shows he really doesn't trust them.

I was just scrolling through some PER rankings and I saw that the pelicans have 3 guys: Frank Jackson (#336), Kenrich Williams (#337), and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (#339) rated in the bottom 10% of all nba players. and these guys had no problems carving up our defense the other day. we need our backcourt back. I wish Kenrich was a Nugget man, should have given him that contract (same for Davis this summer... f**k Cancar like for real)

Blown out back to back games by lottery teams I wish the team could go back to Denver and forfeit. This is embarrassing. So this tourney is potential playoff teams ONLY... and yet they're all lotto teams

KBD should not play one minute after this game. He's gotta be like the 15th guy at best. first game back for him... didnt play much before... this dude needs time, he can be a good bench player
