    Have we ever played them missing 6 players before?

    LOL, there's no shame in losing a game THIS undermanned....I can't even imagine anyone pretending there is unless they are trying to sell something.

    What were we even doing this game, I've honestly never seen Denver do this to us EVER.

    Bol is such a fun prospect. Way more fun than Bruno.

    Our defense isn't going to get much better with our guys back tbh

    EG is a plus but Wall, Boogie and McLemore are all minus defenders.

    We're missing solid 3&D guys like Covington and Tucker lost interest this season and/or is just old.

    Christian Wood may be an offensive beast but he's clearly not a defensive anchor.

    Defense takes time. I sensed no arrogance, just confidence. You just dont snap into defense with no training camp.

    Even with Cousins,Wall and Gordon back I don’t see this team as a grade 1 contender. Need a upgrade at small forward and a legit PF

    Again, have you ever seen the Rockets play Denver down 6 players before?

    Calm your tantrum. It's not that big a deal.

    Rockets went back to switch everything mid season and improved the very next game.

    This is a bullshet excuse.

    I'll never get over Jokic looking more like a dude that milks goats and grows potatoes yet he's the best C in the NBA

    I think it's hard to pass full judgement on this team until they play multiple games together at full strength which they haven't done yet this season.
