Great stuff as always, Matt. One lineup I’m hoping Malone tries to go back to is CB, Julian, Peyton, MPJ, and Jokic. We’ve only seen it for a few games, but they annihilated teams in those minutes. Now I’m pretty sure they only went with that lineup in the games Murray missed, so it’s a small sample size of course, but what’s the point of the regular season if not to collect some data! the current stagger with Julian, Russ, and PWat is getting killed, as you detailed here. The top 8 have all demonstrated an ability to play, even Straw, but there are certainly combos that do not work. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some more guys to play!
By the way, going to see Joker and the Nuggets in person for the first time tonight. I don’t know if he’ll take things seriously against the definition of an unserious basketball franchise, but I’m excited either way.
Why is taking a step backward in season to take a step forward worse than breaking up a team fans have an emotional connection with to make a move that takes you from a first round exit to a second round exit?
