    Especially considering everyone around us got significantly better and stayed the same or got worse.

    I never said it made up for the loss of Grant. I was simply saying they made a move to address some of the depth they lost in the front court. Right now, you are right that they aren’t as good as they were last season.

    JaMychal Green is an upgrade on Mason Plumlee for the Nuggets. He’s not going to fully replace Grant because he’s not as good at guarding perimeter guys.

    I’m thinking they bring at least one if not both of Millsap and Craig back, or they plan to start Green at the 4 next to Jokic.

    Getting a full year of heavy minutes from Michael Porter Jr. is the most important addition the Nuggets could have made. They also were without Will Barton in the bubble.

    Yes, I said that in the post. You cut that part out. My point is they are not the contender they were last season. Because they lost Jerami, Plumlee.....maybe Milsap, Craig?

    Just saying

    That's why I never liked talking what looks good or bad on paper.

    Any rookie, youngins step up, they get better.

    Veteran teams do not have that kind of potential of breaking out.

    As long as Lebron can still walk and AD can play, they are the hardest to beat in the postseason.

    That's written on paper and reports.

    Front court dominates back court IMO.

    @Nook How much muscle can Wood gain on his lean frame without losing explosion or getting hurt?

    They want him to gain core strength. So lean muscle mass. I believe he said he was told to add 8-10 lbs over a couple years.

    I posted that before he was even a rocket. It’s a real belief. And it should be a meme. It needs to be known because people are down in the dumps with secretly the second best roster of the Harden era by far.

    If he eats with some of us, he'd gain it in a couple of hours. Let's go Rockets fans!

    Minor abrasion, out 3 games.

    That infamous Rockets training staff at it again.

    Hope they dont need to amputate.

    Sounds like a rug burn. Those can be painful.

    He wants to be the best player on the floor when he steps on to the court. He's not lacking in confidence. He looks like the best compliment to harden that he's had ever had on the rockets.
