Start: Jokic, Gordon, MPJ, Murray, and Russ when fully healthy... Use CB, Watson, and Julian as young super subs! Use DJ for the non-Jokic mins! Find a deal that moves Zeke Nnaji's contract(Chris Boucher....Toronto) Waive someone and add Justin Holiday as an emergency guard.
Yes, he should play through pain but Coach Malone should not be playing him for 30+ mins a night! Reduce him down to 20-24 mins per game(5-6 mins per qtr)
Yall are talking about Mal like he is a 10 mil per season guy, stop it please! He has exp playing with Joker? Really? Pick any player in the league and it will look like they have exp with Jokic because he is that good. Wait until summer, and offload Mal, rip it off like a band aid.
Im so tired JamAl talk...bench him and let him figure out how to be fit. Hes always out of shape. Embitd zion and him never in shape thats why they cant sustain string of games. Get fit bro! U r paid 50 mil per year. Get fit!
Jamal Murray honestly hasn't been healthy all year. Been playing through this lingering injury. At this point with Russ playing well give Jamal the time to fully heal and then bam you have your starting 5!!!! Russ, Jamal, Porter Jr, Gordan and Jokic when all healthy. That lineup rocks. The other are great bench players. We actually have a really good team!
Enough already with `Jamal lingering x/y/z/?/...` . Enough already. It is all BS - Im sure of that at this point. Jamal played like an NBA player (not a star, not an all star, ... like a mid NBA starter player) only half a dozen times this season. If that. And there`s a pattern to it. Jamal, in those handful of times, played against the bottom / worst defenders/defenses in the league. When faced with a decent-to-good defenders/perimeter defense - Jamal disappears (he calls it `injured`). Teams know this and if he has the ball - they put some pressure on him early - and he`s JAILED. Id love to be optimistic about him, but I just dont see it. Combo of mental weakness and physical unpreparedness is a doozy. If only I get to be wrong - and he all of a sudden figures it out and becomes a real #2/2nd star in this team.
I'm sorry, but if your goal is to win a championship and you're not blowing everyone out like the Thunder are doing, then all you should think about is what lineup and rotations give you the best chance to win games. There is no room to think about developing young players or cuddling someone's confidence. That can and should come in the flow of the season. For me Russ starting is a no brainer. Not just playing heavy minutes, but STARTING! Especially with Denver, you need a guy to set the tone energy and intensity wise.
Then we just lose because we’re not good enough. We either develop players or we lose! We don’t have a Time Machine to go back and make different roster decisions. It’s pointless to keep beating that dead horse.

How about let Murray come off the bench, limit his minutes. So He'll be healthy enough for the playoffs
I would rather have Murray against Houston on the back to back than Dallas who is 3 men down. They shouldn't need him tonight....

That is idiotic.
3:00 woow that's some real MAX GUY NUMBERS, respect 🙏 to nr. 27! Thank you king 27 for everything you're giving us! He's our future 🤣
Yes they gotta rest Mal man he’s been injured way too much

Jamal answered big time

Rest Jamal and use the youth
Unless they’re risking entry to the playoffs, I say rest. But Murray is cooking
Rest him. He's too important in playoffs..
I'd rather he sit the season and we get some sort of injury exemption.
Replace Broun with Watson. Broun is fading in offense.

@@j.m.2245 So you'd rather "develop young players" than win games?
OMG he is injured every 5 games!
