Burks is probable. Still no word on Monte Morris.

If Morris wasn’t seen handing out turkeys over Christmas break, I would think that he’s been abducted by aliens. :lol:

Morris is still out 2-4 more weeks.

All bench lineup in and Killian immediately misses a wide open 3 by like 5 feet.

First quarter was about as good as you could hope for against Denver in Denver. I have a feeling we keep it close the first half and then they pull away the 2nd half.

He said he'll "be back this month" so he is likely starting to increase shooting/conditioning now and then will be doing 5 on 5 in two weeks.... unless he gets a setback.

Nuggets uniforms look pretty dumb

Knox continues to impress. He better not fall out of the rotation when Stewart gets back. We seriously need to consider making the move of Stew to get most of his minutes as a backup 5 and just a few as a backup PF.

C: Duren (33) / Stew (15)
F: Knox (24) / Livers (15) / Stew (9)
F: Bojan(33) / Thompson (15)
G: Ivey (27) / Burks(17)
G: Cade(36) / Killian (12)

Thought Ivey was about to look like Knight on that DJ poster

You know what's amazing? Even when Weaver signs/trades for a player that is universally liked, it still got screwed up.

It almost seems like this whole team has a curse on it, I swear.

Can you imagine Stewart coming in for Duren, instead of Wiseman?

Now THAT would be an instant upgrade.

Thats exactly why its not going to happen.

How do you not send a double with Killian guarding Jokic?! Dumbest coach alive.

BDM22 · Post #16 » by **BDM22** » Mon Jan 8, 2024 2:02 am

Can you not review that obvious foul on Jokic?

And then KCP didn't even get a foul and they called a clear path?!?

WTF

You can't review a non called foul.

Knox with GREAT D on Murray and Murray still drained it.

i'm not one to complain about calls but the pistons just got boned so hard back to back. jokic literally intentionally fouls duren by jumping on him, no foul. then on the inbound bojan gets called for a clear path foul and the replay showed there was literally no contact... ended up being a pretty big swing.

Even the Nuggets broadcast crew is calling it out. Do the champs really need this much help against the worst team in the league? They literally reviewed it and still called it that.
