    I’d like to thank Mike Malone for leaving Jokic on the bench for the 4th quarter

    Whiteside is making that decision this offseason real easy. We can find a cheap third center and have Collins backup Nurk.

    and for the love of god stop playing Simons.

    Nurk was a freakin' beast. The guy is incredible despite missing shots. I've never seen a player with a higher basketball IQ.

    We won the game, that's all that matters. I wish everyone besides Dame and Gary would have brought more tonight but we got a win. We just need to keep plugging along and getting wins. CJ was a no show tonight and while we won't ever be able to count on his D, he will give us more on offense going forward. I still think Zach is shaking off rust an will get better with more games. Whiteside is going to show up when he wants to. Melo didn't have a great night. I don't know why Ant is in the rotation. Nurk just needs to play with a little more intention on every play, sometimes on offense he just flips the ball up like it doesn't matter, I like what we're getting from him, I just think he could give a little more. We are going to play better than we did tonight and we're going to get that eighth seed in the playoffs.

    Neither should play. Give Nas his chance. Even Wenyen would be a better option.

    Simons thing might be coming from the top to play him I might be wrong. Mario actually wasn't that bad when he played.

    I would guess it's because at this point, there's no need to get HCA, since 4-5-6 pretty much are the same thing this year.
