    He needs go out when Jokic goes out we then could play small. Nurk come back when Jokic comes back in.

    Kanter was bad, but it wasn't him that gave up about 12 wide open three's...nobody within 6' of the shooter

    We need to set him up for that, but i don't think that play is in our playbook.

    Biggest problems no bench scoring and uncharacteristically bad three point shooting. Hoping just anomaly.

    14 points on 15 shots is bad, and only 1 assist; and he lost his man several times on defense

    You can tell it’s bad by how incredibly hard it is for us to score. Then on top of that our defense is beyond trash. But the good news is these are the last days of Terry Stotts

    There’s certain matchups where Kanter will work - unfortunately Denver is not one of them. Having Kanter defend Jokic, and really any of Denver’s bigs, is not gonna fly. Malone has obviously made it a priority for everyone to attack Kanter for every second he’s on the court.

    I just had a socially distant dinner with Dwight Jaynes, lol. Socially distant is the best way to have dinner with him.

    I hope this doesn't turn out like the Lakers series last year in the bubble. A promising game 1 and then a backdoor sweep.

    It’s nice that those two always have a future in building brick houses.

    I want Terry fired the second he tells Enes to go to the scorer's table next half.

    Departing from that would take an in-game adjustment.

    Not exactly a Stotts strength.
