    Where do you see that Barton has been ruled out? I'm not arguing that he isn't, I just haven't seen anything that says he is. So if you have a link, that would be great.

    Don't have a link. But you don't go from "out for the foreseeable future" to "playing" in 3 weeks.

    The Nuggets TV play-by-play guy was on the radio last night and he didn't seem to think Barton was near ready.

    I think Dame can dominate a game more than Jokic... much is made about Jokic's passing ability--and it's tremendous--but Dame can handle the ball on literally every Blazers possession, and that means when he's hot he's better than Jokic, who's reliant on others getting him the ball.

    With that being said, Jokic has had an amazing, consistent season and I think he's more likely to be better this series.

    Also: thanks for all the greetings, folks. It's been a minute and I feel like I'm in a time warp. :)

    I mean, I dunno here. The fact I had to explain my original post pretty much earned this particular response from me.

    In your picture/avatar, you don’t look a day older than the last time you posted.

    I have aged a BIT. And my hair is long. I haven't cut it in about three years...

    Jokic often brings the ball up himself. He's not your traditional big man who just posts up and waits for the pass.

    Since Murray went down I think MPJ has a legitimate case for #3 on this list.
    Neither he or CJ could guard my dead grandma
    And MPJ was over 50/40/90 at one point after Murray went down. Small sample size but the added usage was clearly trending the right way for him.

    that said ...

    We should absolutely smoke the Nuggets without Murray.
    Doubt we will but I hope so.
    And I think the coin flip has more to do with them missing 1-3 rotation players

    ...and in that vain, as a fellow expert, I predict many nuggets will be blazed this series!
