They thankfully have less b2b later in the season. Hopefully they can rest him a bit more in games too but Murray has to be out of his funk before that happens more I think.

Yeah it’s sad since the potential is there. I don’t think he’s played in a single playoff game.

Closest was in a play in game against the Lakers where he was dominating but left with and injury which pretty much sums up his career so far.

Think if it wasn’t one of the defenders may get a hand on it depending on how quick they react but hard to say for sure.

They’re young and hungry too so its unlikely they take the foot of the gas lol

No Murray and no Gordon, this will be rough

Crazy ending to the game, not sure how the Nuggets lost that one.

Oh I agree, not saying Booth is without fault by any means.

The saric deal is not looking good so far.

I agree that they should’ve pushed a bit more on the MPJ deal, while it wasn’t a true max since a lot of it was incentives based I feel like the market wasn’t huge back then given his back injuries they could’ve squeezed some more. He hasn’t made the improvements he needed to be worth it so I honestly think he’s the most likely to get moved if they do something since Murray at least has had the highs and has great chemistry with Jokic.

Given the ownership doesn’t like to spend a ton I think Booth was kind of forced to go young given that restriction.

Still think KCP was worth the 2nd apron tho because Braun could help the bench then and it keeps the starting 5 that won the title. It’s not like they have a lot of options for an upgrade either with that 7 year out pick they have available now that they’re under it except maybe they can use Nnaji stupid contact with it at the deadline.

Picked him up as a stream for today in a 8CAT (no TO) league where I’m punting FG so FT was the only place he could hurt me lol

Wish they didn’t need OT in either but I’ll take the wins lol

Westbrook 10/10 from the line was an unexpected fantasy bump too lol

I thought the same, such wasted potential!

West finals rematch, definitely going to try to catch this one!

Oh yeah it wasn’t by design, more just meant they still got the L which will ultimately help them. Yeah if Scottie was still in they might’ve pulled of the win

They pulled out the L for Flagg at the end.

Picked him up in all my fantasy teams (auction drafts) knowing he’d get slept on.

Nuggets gotta be better, I know it’s going to take some time for the young guys and Westbrook to fit where they need to but if this doesn’t get better by the trade deadline they really should make a trade. Murray (decent tonight to be fair) and MPJ have been way too streaky for max players and it’s going to depend on who they can get but one of them may have to go if they can’t figure it out.

Technically they only have 1 pick but if they renounce the protections on 1 or 2 it opens up a few others and they gotta maximize the team while Jokic is in his prime.

Yeah Murray has me concerned. The Nuggets have no depth at all so if their core 4 aren’t playing at their peak they don’t have a shot.

They have picks they could package in a trade but you’d have to part with either Murray or MPJ. I don’t think the Nuggets do that this season so they’re going to hope Murray stays healthy and figures his stuff out and the young guys improve enough. Definitely a lot of ifs this year for them.

Yeah I cringed typing it but it was shorter than “In Season Tournament”.

Some are pretty nice but the top left one (think it’s the pelicans) is terrible with that green.

Wish the bucks wouldn’t go with blue, don’t like their blue jerseys either.

Here are mine, reaching on them a bit for sure but not taking this too seriously.

• Ben Simmons has a pretty good season and plays at least 60 games. Not a big fan of his but it’s a contract year lol if it’s going to happen it’s gonna be this year.

• Celtics don’t make it past the conference finals. This one is hot especially after the opening night game but think their front court is weak and they got a bit lucky last year with the injuries in the East. Probably the one I’m at most risk of looking stupid on though.

• OKC doesn’t make it to the conference finals. I’ve seen some taking them to win the west or at least get there but I think they still have some growing pains in the playoffs this year and go out in the 2nd round. The future is incredibly bright for them though, think they are perennial contenders in the west after this year.
