    On perhaps the slowest player in the league. And still got blown by.

    We lost because it’s back to back. It’s hard to win at Denver

    You want 6'6" Roco on Jokic?

    Saying this for years
    Third game in a row we've completely lost our poise.

    I don't know if I'm allowed to post that, though, since I was called a troll last night for saying the loss to the Wizards was a killer because of the upcoming schedule. Maybe if we didn't put ourselves in these positions and lose I wouldn't post that. But, oh well, let's all sing kumbaya and talk about how individual plays don't matter, individual games don't matter, stretches of plays and games don't matter, yada, yada, yada, it's all sunshine and unicorns.

    Why would Stotts tell Kanter to get up on Jokic 40 ft from the basket??? Make it make sense.

    At full strength we are definitely better. But still could’ve won this.

    If you notice we been having trouble even to score 100 points. Our offense is all about 3 point shots and iso totally not good.

    a literal stationary lamp post would be preferable to Enes Kanter defensively.

    Mehh he plays for a trash franchise it’s not his fault. He could easily if he went somewhere else.

    I actually respect him more he allows us to keep him

    Hard to be MVP when you can’t shoot the ball.

    I don’t think Trent has taken a shot in the 4th. They need to run plays to get him open shots.

    Rat ball offense all game long. 4-8 against teams above .500.

    I'm not going to back Kanter's defense, but putting RoCo would not be good either. Not to mention, he's been worthless on offense tonight as well.

    Sure, but to become an MVP you have to be great over a full season, Dame has stretches where he's great, but that's not enough
