    They aren't a contender. Nobody in West aside from Warriors is a contender really.

    The Nets assigned Allen Crabbe to the Long Island Nets for practice. Was he hurt or is he just playing that poorly?

    This thread is where the Rudy Gobert pity party should be. Those posts don't belong in the Congrats Dame thread.

    ^^^ That it coincides with Layman's minutes being way up?

    Oddly enough, 15 games ago was Layman's last DNP. Coincidence? I think not.

    Man, OKC, Spurs and Rockets with the horrible defense! Nuggets not much better.

    Our schedule has been much easier last 15 games. We had a hellish schedule through December.

    Is that implying that Denver's defense is bad?

    Lately, yes. But not quite as bad as the ranking.

    And Stauskas out of the regular rotation.

    Meyers playing better during this stretch as well.

    I think our strength of schedule was really low those past 15 games.

    Definitely playing a part in this.

    There's been a few nice wins vs good teams though and had opportunities to win in the games vs OKC and Denver.

    WNBA, but still newsworthy IMO.
