WHERE THE FUCK HAS THIS JAMES JOHNSON BEEN ALL YEAR???

 

[flyerhawk]

Looks like he held Olynyk arm. He didn't complain and dude been complaining all night so going to assume he knows he did something fishy there to get the offensive foul lol

Yeah. I only thought it was suspect because Olynyk had his arm inside Jokic's body. But not a huge travesty certainly.

His shooting has been lights out.

Good game. Lottery here we come.

 

[bksballer89]

Do not recognize this guy lol.

He will probably stink up the joint on offense for the rest of the season now.

James Johnson and KO both with 30+

Never thought I would see this day

Nice win. Now let's beat the tanking Knicks on Wednesday and somehow find a way to split our weekend road trip in OKC and Indiana.

 

[bksballer89]

A 7 game 2 week road trip at this point of the season is brutal.

Denver may not be out of the playoffs race yet @HurricaneDij39

Just looked at their schedule. If they can find a way to win 3 of the final 5 on this roadtrip, that would leave them at 41-35 with 6 games left. 4 of their final 6 is at home. If they can win all 6 of those games, they'll be 47-35 which may be good enough. Heck 46-36 may do it

Minnesota and Clippers seem to be their competition. Have no idea when Butler is returning but Minny sits at 31 losses (Denver play them 2x in April) and the Clippers sit at 32 losses.

Looking at their schedules, I have Minny finishing between 35 or 36 losses and the Clippers at 38 or 39 losses

Draymond out for the rest of the game. They weren't going to win tonight but the 2nd half will be without all 4 of the Big 4.

Asking this roster to win 8 of 11 is asking a lot. I just don't know if I'd be worth it to get our butts kicked by Houston in the first round. Let the young guys play.

This hasn't been Connolly's finest year in the FO. No disrespect to Devin Harris but at 35 he can't be your big deadline acquisition.

Yeah, fighting hard for the 8th seed is usually pointless, unless you don't have a 1st round pick or you 'need' to make the playoffs to take the next step. Philly for example needed to make the playoffs this year, it was time. Minnesota too.

I would really like to see them make it assuming Harris is back soon. Fun team to watch. They could shoot like hell. I don't think they win more than a game in a series with Houston or Golden State but I do see plenty of entertaining games....Much more than we'll see in a Minny/GSW or Minny/HOU series

@bksballer89 Just saw the Heat's creampuff schedule the rest of the way...Our last Heat/Pacers meeting could end up determining the winner of this bet.

So will the Nuggets trade Millsap in the offseason? I doubt they'd pick him over Jokic and the team has struggled since his return. But their time together has been limited so it could work out next season with Millsap healthy all year. I'd probably keep him until at least the trade deadline and see how they work for a full first half. Malone is more likely to go imo.

Good win for the Nets, beating the Hornets Wednesday would be great as well.
