Everything that is wrong with the sport of basketball is personified in that man.

He flops more than prime James Harden.
He complains to the refs more than Heat era LeBron James.
He misses more games than Kawhi Leonard.
He statpads more than Wilt Chamberlain.
He takes more cheap shots and intentionally injures more players than Draymond Green.

He is F***ball Voltron.

No Joker tonight, word on the street is that his second child is either about to be born or has just been born. Congrats to the man, gotta try to get a W without him tonight. We're playing the Pelicans who are missing 6 rotation players, so even without Jokic we should be able to pull this one out.

We're still down Gordon and Cancar is a game time decision.

I don't get the obsession with 5280 on everything. People outside the region have no clue what it means cause most Americans have no clue how many feet are in one mile is to begin with. Plus the whole altitude as an advantage thing is wearing off fast.

Maybe in the past when you had pros not in elite shape, heck many smoked, it mattered a lot. Nowadays you have athletic freaks who say oh that altitude difference is cute and after two deep breaths they are over it. Back in the day home court/field/ice meant something but I sure don't see that anymore. If the Denver teams are winning more it's because they are just better. If I were them I'd hate to have people say you won because of the altitude.

It's a point of pride for the Mile High City. Just like Chicago is the Windy City, and Detroit is the Garbage City and Phoenix is the No Hockey Allowed City and St Louis is the Loser City and Nashville is just Trashville colloquially.

Geez now Malones not coaching tonight. Throwin in the towel for tonight.

I heard Zeke is starting too. This is gonna be a joke.
It's either Zeke, Jordan, or Saric. Pick your poison, really.

They called up PJ Hall from the G-League but in my limited time watching the kid play, I don't get the impression he's anywhere close to ready. He has been pretty foul-happy in Summer League and the G-League so far.

I find it crazy they never use Saric and then start him and act like he's Joker. If he's good enough to start, use him off the bench too. Feels like Malone is just protesting him even being added to the team.

If these games were their own thing and didn't count in the standings they and most teams really would have emptied the bench.

Saric was the worst player on the floor in the preseason and in the first 5 regular season games. He did it to himself. Showed up out of shape and looked like a confused rookie on bambi legs.

He was decent out there tonight, though. As was Cancar. They should both be back in the rotation over Zeke and tyson.
