Dude is the fukking worst. He has the two flukiest All-NBA/All-Star seasons ever. I can't stand his "game." Dude belongs on the Wizards.
You see itSo why the fukk is Booker out again? Is KD gonna be the only guy available on the regular?
Dude is gonna be gassed by the end of the season (if he finishes in one piece).
Basically be an emotional herb and worrying about what other people saying about him… Mans could’ve stayed in GS and collect more chips wit Steph..What did KD do to make the basketball gods so upset at him?
It’s mad early and ja isn’t there is it that sad fr? LolIn his 10 year career he’s never been in a losing situation. He can’t even compute what’s going on right now. At least for other players they can recall the vibes from their early years when they were on rebuilding teams to cope. But for him..even in his rookie year when the team was supposed to have been rebuilding they ended up being a playoff team. The only other player in the whole league that can say that would be Kawhi.
Ehhh Denver last year kind of put a wrench in this notion. Granted they benefitted from health and the fact that they had one of the best starting 5's in the league. Those non-Jokic minutes with the 2nd unit were ugly as fukk and they didn't really figure it out until the finals.The past couple of years have explicitly shown that depth>>>a "Big 3".
You're not surviving 82 games with just 3 top talents and patchwork everywhere else. You need a solid 10-12 contributors nightly to ensure a good record/seeding as well as having insurance if your star(s) play poorly.

Even now, they’re still heavily depending on their starting 5 until those young guys on the bench sans Jackson.Having a solid starting 5 allows Denver to stagger mins so the bench isn't as susceptible as other teams' are. When Jokic sits, you can still have Murray out there. They also had Gordon being an offensive focus at times too with Bruce Brown giving them great mins off the bench. They were also developing Braun the whole year as well. But yeah non-Joker mins are rough because Jokic is the engine of Denver. When he sits, it's to be expected their offense will take a hit, which is why Denver's bench is loading up on defensive talent and they'll hope to develop their offensive games.
You also made my point by pointing out their health too. Not having to stress you stars every game is enough reason to show why depth is more important to making it thru a whole season.
That Stotts thing should be a bigger story, especially with how terrible their offense looks. This has been a very ominous start after that.Still don’t understand why the Bucks didn’t hire Nurse. Especially since they knew they wanted to improve their offense. Nurse is like the most sophisticated offensive guru in the league. Their offense looks clunky as hell and that’s to be expected with a Rookie head coach…especially one that chased his offensive coordinator out the building before they even played a game.
