I was disappointed that Murray didn’t play especially with how greasy the warrior fans were talking as if he did play

That’s true, that bones turnover was terrible. You never pass under your own basket.

Jokic literally saved him tho lol

This worst MVP ever narrative is trash, I can tell who watches games. I don't know how a real sports fan cam watch them shows anymore
I agree it wasn’t great to make that pass but Jokic has to make himself more available. He shouldn’t have been positioned on the other side of the basket given the situation. Of course Jokic made up for it by getting the ball out the net and immediately throwing a bomb but still that’s a learning moment for both Bones and Jokic.

But they are playing three games in four nights :patrice:

I rather they load manage the hell out of him for the foreseeable future

Load management is fine but certain games like playing the nba champs he has to play in those are tone setting games.

Honestly bones held on to the ball too long there, I was surprised bones was even in that position to begin with.

I don’t think it matters right now

Just need him to see the floor and build confidence

As the season progresses hopefully he’ll be feeling good health-wise and mental-wise and he’ll play more or we’ll be more strategic on those games he sits so that he’s playing the better teams in the bigger games

Really liking what I’m seeing from KCP and Brown. Great additions from the off-season. They’re both, surprise surprise, going to eat and enjoy playing with Jokic.

Good seeing Murray and MPJ back on the floor. Both have had some nice moments.

Like seeing Braun shoot with confidence and knock down the triples. Low-key kind of shocked to see Malone giving him some burn early.

Had some clutch stops at the end but boy does our defense need some work. Sometimes we looked like a sieve.

That shocked me too, but the kid moves his feet well and plays smart. Very surprised he is as ready as he is. This bench is ridiculously deep.
