Joker and Murray are both playing 40+ minutes every playoff game anyway, though. Every close playoff game. In the blowouts, I’d wager they only play 35 minutes each, or less. Maybe we can rest them in 4Q in early round games when we are up 25 after three quarters. Please slow down with those 25 point leads after 3 quarters and keep Jokic on the floor as rock gets really nervous about big leads. We lose more than 90% of games when we have big leads and 100% when the opponent has those leads lol

Murray/KCP/MPJ/AG/Jokic Reggie/Braun/Watson I'll take my chances with those 8. 7 proven guys and a kid who has knocked expectations out of the park all year long. That group might be short on one playable bench guy with some size/muscle. Last spring, when Jokic was off the court, uncle Jeff would often be matched up against a center or Lebron or KAT (whatever position he’s playing) while Gordon was guarding someone faster. Clearly, the current plan for non-Jokic minutes is to switch Gordon’s role in that scheme and have him matched up as much as possible against the strong guys while Watson is the switchy multi-position forward. Will they hold their own enough inside to buy Jokic some bench time? TBD.

I don't know is Bob Myers tripping or telling the truth here to be honest: looks like "just put KD at the 5, that'll solve Jokic" is the new "just put Rui on Jokic and make AD the helper" I don't know how you get outdumbed by Kendrick Perkins but Bob Myers did the impossible. as if we just can't stick Jokic in the corner on Royce O'Neale and enjoy the massive disadvantage on the glass and offensively.

it's going to hurt when Tim steals him from us because Booth stacked the roster with guys that can't help us (this season, anyway).

Will they hold their own enough inside to buy Jokic some bench time? TBD. Been my exact concern - but Deandre has honestly played great when he's in. He isn't called upon every night and usually has fresh legs. He won't be burnt out come playoff time. If a team goes small, we got zeke. I was hoping we would get another big - but what we have is solid.

I think that the FO stance about the team this season should have been all about THIS SEASON. He wanted to stack the pipeline with mature cheap rookies who could be signed to help us in 2025 or 2026. IMO, perhaps he should have kept one roster spot open all season for just this buyout market opportunity. If not Gallo, someone else could be available and attractive for our playoff chances. But as I said earlier, second guessing Booth is easy and not quite fair as it’s 20/20 hindsight. We have a good 8-man playoff rotation, but little margin for error or ability to withstand injuries.

Tim is collecting former Nuggets like Pokemon cards to improve the team chemistry so I'm guessing he's going to give Gallo a call.

Lillard is out tonight and the rest of the games were on the road, but holy s**t have the Bucks looked like buns since Doc took over.

Malik Beasley when he goes 1-13 is a bad player. a very bad player.
canning Griffin because the Bucks defense is s**t is like firing Pop because the Spurs aren't winning enough games. you can't scheme your way out of that roster. and now they're the same s**t defense with the added benefit of derailing the offensive flow Griffin had going for the team. well done Bucks. I hope you enjoyed your fluke ring.

Furkan Korkmaz is a buyout candidate and a shooter off the bench.

Pistons on a 2 game win streak and are actually 4-6 in their last 10. I said it during their long losing streak when they had 2 wins total, around the time Kuzma was talking s**t...but they're definitely no the worst team in the league and will end up with a better record than at least one team (Washington), if not more.

How does he still have a job? Looking past his racism, I’m pretty sure most real nba fans dislike him Do casuals think he’s funny, brilliant or interesting to listen to?

For sure. Someone made a youtube video claiming they might be the worst team of all time in any sport. Clearly a stretch. Sadly, I was there to witness the Goldwire/Wolf pick and roll from the 97 Nuggets and it wasn't pretty.

Didn't he go to University of Colorado? SIGN HIM Denver is ineligible to sign Dinwddie. Also can't sign Marcus Morris. But Gallo and Thad Young would be allowed. Why would we have signed Marcus Morris? Those twins legit hate Jokic
