    Okay, these alternate wizards uniforms may be the ugliest things i've ever seen.

    They're not good but definitely not the worst

    I also just realized they are doing a retro night, so it kind of makes sense.

    I don't get how Denver is good? From everything I read their fans for the most part can't stand Malone and his rotations. They have no superstars. Granted Jokic is emerging but he just starting doing well this season. They have terrible fan support. I really don't understand how this team wins

    I feel like the Cavs don't care about the regular season whatsoever. They are in full on coast mode till the playoffs.

    And Denver up by 20 against the Cavs

    That team might just be legitimately better than us. It seems like they want that playoff spot much more

    Sure looking that way right this minute. I hope they lose every remaining game. After, they win this one though....

    Yeah, Fan support is a sign of a good and bad team and wins and losses.

    They are deeper than us, that's for sure but I don't think they are better than us. I'll take our top 8 over theirs.

    Is it just me or does Lebron "quit" on plays where he thinks he gets a foul? He legit stayed on one end of the floor during an entire defensive possesion to argue on a great no call by the refs.

    they dont have players like Dame and CJ, but overall they have deeper and better team than us, or at least I think so
    yeah maybe not better, but definitely deeper, Ill wait next season to see whos better

    Well record wise technically they are better than us. We haven't had a better record than them in a few months if I'm not mistaken.

    Outside of Dame and Cj they might just be better than us at every position

    Shit CLE gives up 73 points in the first half to DEN. They should have to give back their rings after that "effort".

    Kevin Love might be one of the worst defenders I've ever seen.

    And I've watched Harden.

    They've lost their last 2 games. We just completed a tough 4-1 road trip that left Nuggets fans crying.

    Game 7. Warriors down 3. Curry defended by Love. Love and the Cavs win. One of the most clutch defensive plays ever.
