    I mean, no Nuggets fan is happy with his childish behavior. I'd be fine with a suspension because our medical staff and Malone don't even want him playing but gave him the final say (reports b4 g5 via ESPN). But to act like the root of his behavior isn't the injuries is wild to me. Over 10...

    The guy shouldn't even be on the court but is so competitive that he is refusing to and is playing through a calf strain (and shin splints) that caused him to miss the final month of the season. He's playing awful because of it. A guy nicknamed Glitch couldn't get seperation from Austin...

    He's frustrated because he is badly hurt for the 3rd time in 4 playoff runs. I'm not condoning it but I do feel bad for the dude. At least he's showing heart as opposed to Jokic who seems to have realized the team, with both Mal and KCP extremely hobbled, doesn't have what it takes this year and...

    Listen, I'm team Kendrick thought and through and the gap is basically PTA vs. Zach Snyder in my book. But it seems pretty likely that the "mole" was feeding Kdot fake intel...

    Best since Utah v Denver in the bubble.

    He had 9 turnovers and 19 points on 19 shits bro. And I say that as somebody who was very critical of Jokic yesterday specifically because he had 7 turnovers. That said, I was high on Maxey coming out of the draft and he has blown by those expectations.

    I haven't. I hammered their over before the season and have been a Jdub truther since day one. And as I said above, I think they are likely a dynasty in the making. But the don't have a center which is a problem against Denver. And history repeatedly says that a team as young as they are needs...

    Jokic is the basketball version of Muhamed Ali-- he loves to rope a dope teams. Not worried about his effort level against the Lakers. As frustrating as it is to watch, the team is notorious for playing with their food until they have to turn it on. And in 4/5 games, they turned it on and had...

    The Vuc trade was moronic when it happened and looks even worse now. The Magic got Wendal Carter + drafted Wanger and (tbd) Jett Howard with those picks. He could have traded Curuso for two firsts last season and chose not to. Dorozen could have netted at least a 1st. And as soon as Ball's...

    As somebody who lives in Chicago and, as a diehard Nuggets fan, thought Arturus would turn things around (and then he proceeded to be awful)... It's an ownership issue.

    How long have you typically had to wait before hearing back after a final interview? Particularly for good news?

    He's not even Herb Jones who is at least an all-NBA defender. No idea what the hell has happened to him (and wouldn't be surprised to see him be effective on a bargin deal at his next stop ala Batum) but you all need him off your books. If the Clippers get taken down by the Mavs, I'm betting...

    My anger is not really about this series which is micro in level (and game 2 was solidly officiated). Though I do think the Lakers are going get a crazy whistle after Lebron's complaints. It's about the fact that the Lakers get a crazy advantageous whistle regardless of who their opponent is or...
