    Yea cant play switch defense if you want to play Wood or Cousins major minutes. They will get picked on EVERY possession. ESPECIALLY post injury Cousins. Its like asking Yao Ming to play guard Marbury on the perimeter.

    Nuggets reminds me of the Raptors before they got Kawhi.

    They're one superstar trade away from winning it all and they have the assets to do it yet their FO and fans are vehemently against it so their peak is basically WCF.

    I actually feel sorry for Bruno...this passed the point of being sad long ago

    it’s not fun watching a guy continue to embarrass himself

    we just witnessed a dude implode right before our eyes

    Maybe but last game the adrenaline was flowing and they went to OT. there are no legs available AND they are playing at altitude. This was going to be bad.

    I don't feel sorry for him. Wasted a roster spot coddling him for several seasons.

    I can't imagine every other team is following the strict protocols to a T. Will be interesting to see if anyone else cops this ****

    Glad I missed it. Just haven't got into the spirit yet with all the drama and BS going on. Ugh.

    Have Rocket ever won against Denver with 4 players out of the rotation?

    Bruno, House and Thomas out of the rotation will be addition by subtraction, much less adding in Wall, Cousins, Gordon and whatever Mason Jones has. PJ is also a dud in the lineup but we're stuck with him as long as Harden is here, and our defense is struggling. I feel like Jeff Green would've been nice to retain on the cheap.

    I was concerned going into the season when he said Weaver would focus on offense. I also sensed a little arrogance when he said they would go away from so much switching.... there is a reason we switched so much....

    I think the team looked tired in by halftime lol.

    I know people talk about the elevation there but for good reason. Nearly every player brings it up and we're playing a short rotation.

    some proof of the altitude thing...

    It's very difficult to win in Denver, harder when you're already playing a short rotation, even harder because they have a great team. Wish we would have gotten that Portland win but it's 2 games. No need to panic. At least we didn't get blown out by 50.
