10 assists and 3 turnovers. Better than Jokic in A/TO tonight, Jokic was bad tonight. Had basically no imapct on the game until he decided to get super aggressive when the game was out of control. Praising Reggies effort is a joke though. He was awful on the defensive side of the ball and offensively hes just way too aggressive. Reggie and AG don't understand what their role on this team is when Jamal is out. They increase their usage way too much and it really hurts the team. |

Our last two games don't have any impact on our chances of repeating.
We need two things to repeat: full health and players 7-8 in the rotation to not be total scrubs in their 30odd min playing time.

"We" must refer to him and his g-league bench teammates: Holiday, Braun, Watson, DeAndre, Gillespsie

For what it's worth, I thought Jordan looked pretty good in this game. Seemed to be moving great. I could see him getting some spot minutes when needed.
Otherwise, this is just the ebb and flow of an 82 game season. We stunk it up before the allstar break. Came back with some fire and nearly won 17 straight. Now the basket is like a pin-hole again and everything is out of sync. Discombobulated is a great word for what it looked like.

Starting backcourt tonight: 4-18 shooting. Backup backcourt tonight: 2-11 shooting. Games like this is where you guys miss Bruce Brown. @lothar |

Games like this is where you guys miss Bruce Brown. @lothar Huh? Correct me if I'm wrong but Bruce Brown was the 6th man last year -- as he can play multiple positions (1-4)? For example when Jamal injured, he was the backup PG, instead of Reggie Jackson. I don't remember Reggie playing at all in the playoffs. |

I don't remember Reggie playing at all in the playoffs. Obviously we miss BB. But this is not a game where he would’ve made much of a difference, so not sure why you would say we missed him more last night. Aside from Reggie being so bad. |

morning after and it remains disconcerting that Malone is able to gaslight himself into believing that Reggie Jackson "left it all out there". if Malone gave Boneshead the same leeway he gives this washed vet maybe our bench wouldn't be titanic territory right now.

In fairness, Reggie is all we have for a backup PG. He’s not a young guy that Malone can threaten to bench. All he can do is hope he stays confident has something left in the tank for the playoffs. We can get frustrated and demand to bench half the team all we want. But there are no obvious better options on our disaster of a bench unit. |

Malone was right that Jackson left it all out there. Sometimes, especially against a tall and top defensive team like Minny, his great effort doesn’t amount to scoring efficiently or ability to defend younger, taller, more athletic guys. I’ve seen Murray go 4-15 in games too against defenses like the Wolves have. Not sure we win last night even with a healthy Murray.
JB likes to complain because he’s good at it. Going without a PG in our second unit in postseason would be an unmitigated disaster. We just have to hope that RJ is getting in the best shape he can be in with all these extra minutes, and will give us good performances during his 8-10 mpg in key playoff games. He’s risen to the occasion before, so I haven’t lost all hope for him.

Malone was not right in the slightest. to single out Reggie for praise for chucking shots and not playing defense is functionally insane. "Reggie did what you would expect in a role he is not situated for" is like the uppermost kind you can be to Reggie without appearing completely delusional. saying he "left it all out there" like he wasn't dying on screens and giving the T'pups practice shots out there. unbelievable.
if Jamal has a bad game offensively, he's effecting the game in other ways like not letting 40 year old Mike Conley look like prime Steph Curry.
Malone is seeing what he wants to see out there. he has a long history of playing favorites with his "trust guys", from Facu to Barton all the way back to Craig.

rock didn't have this much fun for more then a year. its good to give him time to speak, cause coming playoffs he will be out of things to say
btw, from where all these Jokic lovers crawl out?! I'm freaking Serbian and Nuggets fan, and you pissing me off with your homerism.
there is one and only one reason we lost this game. just look who open game thread. we were doomed before game started...

At the risk of triggering some PTSD, what were the alternatives to Barton and Facu those years? PJ Dozier? Shaq Harrison? What teams are they now starting for? I’m sure I was as guilty as anyone in demanding Barton be benched, but looking back…who earned more trust on those rosters? And who has earned more trust to handle the ball in Jamal’s absence than RJ? If you want to be mad that RJ is our only option, that’s not a Malone problem. |

I didn't have a problem with Malone playing Facu or Barton in a vacuum (I infact praised Facu in this very GT), it's the fact he would give his "trust guys" carte blanche like they were Murray or Jokic level and choose to highlight and focus exclusively on their strengths, even if many of their "strengths" were illusory.
on the Facu front for instance, literally every other player on the roster and most in the free agent market would be an upgrade over all the all-midget lineup Malone was fond of when he would play Facu and Monte together.

DNVR guys seem to think Jamal may be out for awhile. Just hoping to hold on to the 3 seed in that case.
