Pretend he wasn't gassed so you can be a contrarian, brehs.
It was obvious he was gassed. Obviously he carried the team and was the only reason it was anywhere near that close. BUt down the stretch he was a big part of why they couldn't close the gap. What's wrong with pointing that out?

As much as everyone jokes about Jokic not really caring about hoops, he cares a lot and he goes hard - with this roster that's going to compound the wasted seasons. He's just putting extra wear and tear on his body with no reward. Booth had the gall to step out of the shadows and start doing interviews and profiles, but this past offseason proves he's unserious.

Not even being combative, but Poole clearly flopped, and Joker set up mad open shots that were missed. Plus he was gassed. Just a miserable performance from the team.

Agreed on all that. That's where Porter has to step up. Russ made a couple plays. Overall they just really need Porter to step up and be a number 2 so that Jokic don't need insane performances like that every night. I wasn't trying to put the loss on Jokic but pointing out that he had a bad few minutes. Admittedly though that post looks bad right after the posts where I was fukking around talking about Jokic.

Literally nobody else on the roster could function without him. Besides Jokic, the team was 2-19 from three and probably 15 were WIDE open.

Not even hyperbole, Booth should be fired tonight. This roster is on him AND he just extended that bum Murray on a four year max. They are wasting an all-time great's prime. This reminded me of Kobe in '05-07 with the Lakers.
