Denver has a better road record than home record.

Duren will participate in the dunk contest.

oh boy.

Defensive player of the month awards won in Jan: 1

Three pointers made in Jan: 0

That isn't a joke.  He made 0 three pointers in Jan and Dec.  

 

[Deleterious]

Nobody with back spasms?  Sort of makes me think nobody else is being considered trade bait.  

 

[Deleterious]

Hardway Jr, Bruce Brown.  It's the land of overrated players.

Jokic has to demand a trade this summer.  Get to a team that will put some serious players around you.

Cade makes a 3 pointer for a 19 point lead at halftime and Blaha says "Man, these guys are playing like Champions." 😆😆

george also said that two years ago a few times during the season.

[Deleterious]

Everyone needs a hype man like Blaha.

So I think after tonight, Jenkins should have one more game he can play before they have to convert him to a real NBA deal.  

[Deleterious]

Denver doesn't have the defense to win a title.

I hear Jenkins turned down a 2 year contract.

Yep, smart move since they offered him the vet minimum.  He wants to enter free agency this summer and sign a larger contract.  

[buddha]

do not overpay danniss jenkins.

[Deleterious]

I imagine it will be a deal for the remainder of the season at the vet minimum.  Then we will have the playoffs to gauge how well he does and have a somewhat better understanding where his salary should be come this summer.

Restricted FA

Yeah.  More important, early Bird and not full Bird rights.  That could get a bit sticky if another team makes him a decent offer.  

[Hongbit]

This is ****ing ridiculous.    

[Deleterious]

Why is it always such a struggle?  Denver is down a starter tonight.  Another starter is playing his first game back after a long injury layoff and is on minute restrictions.  Their best player is playing his third game back after an injury and on a minutes restriction.  But somehow it's  a 2 point game with 2 minutes left.  

[Sports_Freak]

Whew....

[Sports_Freak]

Denver was 33-16. They're legit. Even with their injuries, they've been winning. But yeah, a 20 point lead went poof. They almost came all the way back.
