    What happened? He felt bullied and disappeared?

    Butler can't fix that defense.

    It's hard when his whole family gets shoved in your face all the time.

    They kind of have him being the next Magic Johnson as far as the Lakers are concerned. Even Magic is trying to sell himself short to make this kid something special. So far he looks like a good pick up but he will not ever be on Magic's level IMO.

    IDK? He was what they needed. The spot will cost them in cap space. I'm good with them using that pick to get him.

    Lonzo can't shoot. From the field or the free throw line. Until he learns how to do that he is of no concern to me.

    Agree. Way too much talk about him. They even break to him while he is on the bench. Literally force feeding this kid to the audience.

    But our backcourt this year has been playing stellar D.

    Still TBD, IMO. We've played some pretty weak back courts thus far, and Giannis pretty much shut down our 2-headed monster in crunch time, so I'm withholding judgment until seeing what we do against good competition.

    Be it as it may, my conversation with the HCP about the pups vs. the Blazers is what I was commenting on. Even if ours is crap and their is crap++ - we are still smelling better than them. (It also helps that ours smells like roses so far this year)

    I disagree.

    Bledsoe+Booker
    Collison+Oladipo (They've been killin it)
    Brogdon+Middleton

    All those are good backcourts.

    That was the year of Paul Westhead when the Nuggets didn't even try to play defense. They literally left their opponents wide open and dared them to shoot early in the shot clock so they could get the ball back, made or missed, and run down to the other end and jack up a shot as quickly as humanly possible. Paul Westhead's run and gun offense made Mike D'Antoni's 7 second or less offense look like something out of Nate McMillan's playbook.

    LOL at myself. I ASSUMED that was the year of Westhead. It wasn't. That was the lockout shortened 50-game 1998-99 season.

    And this is the funny part: the Nuggets head coach that year - Mike D'Antoni!
