Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey would be nice additions and may help Jokic for the rest of his prime next season

Is our 1st rnd draft pick for 2025 protected?
Might be a chance to land Cooper Flagg at this rate.

More than one thing can be true. Braun has played really, really well for the most part. Braun also needs to take and knock down wide open threes. Period. He turned down 1 open 3 and it led to an open, made 3. Braun is literally the 2nd least concerning player on this team right now. Don't play dumb. He has been hesitant to shoot wide open 3s in every game so far. It's an issue. I'd still start him and I think he's going to take and make those shots as the season goes along, but you can acknowledge what you're seeing. |

Every game is the same pattern. Will we ever win? Zeke couldn't do worse than old, useless, Skita-wannabe Saric.

Listen I'm open to starting Strawther and it's at least a lineup that Malone should try mid-game if he's not going to start him. But the issue with this team is the bench is terrible and the co-stars have been bad. That's not Brauns fault. |

Braun, Saric, and Strawther have a combined 1 three point attempt.
Regardless of anything else, all three of those guys have to shoot when they're on the floor. Our threes have to come from someone besides just Joker, Murray, and MPJ.

The Nuggets starters coming into tonight have an offensive rating of 118. Definitely a dip from the KCP days (123-125) but the defense has been better. Net rating basically the same. |

The biggest positive from the 1st half for me: Westbrook is only -4

Our threes have to come from someone besides just Joker, Murray, and MPJ. They don't run any pick and pops for Saric so not sure how he's going to shoot any. The usage of Strawther has been horrible all season long. |

Who the hell mentioned KCP? I've been on board with letting him walk since day one. Braun has to shoot when he's standing at the 3 point line with nobody within 10 feet of him in any direction. That's literally all I'm saying. If you can't agree with that there's something seriously wrong with you. |

The starters have won their minutes in both games this year. Including against OKC who is going to win 60 games. |

A player can be really good individually while hurting the rest of the offense.
Spacing is crucial. CB needs to take open shots. He needs to knock down 3's. If he doesn't it's just gunna make every other starters job harder and it'll slow down the offense. The more he does it the worse it'll get as the season goes on.

famicommander seems too intense for me. Once Kamala loses on November 5th (before midnight), I can only imagine the breakdown he will have ...take care of yourself, buddy

Bench is obviously a way bigger issue but you can't possibly think CB can turn down open shots long term? Teams will start adjusting. |
