I’m depressed and upset.

it looked like plumlee was calling for grant to switch out onto AD so he could cover a potential lebron cut to the rim. given grant’s positioning that was probably a mistake

You had the ball with 2 seconds left

kinda curious what plumlee is doing on this play

yeah, i think just chasing AD to the wing would have been easier than executing that switch and had a chance of disrupting the key to the play, which was the extremely easy inbound pass that materialized.

i think thats considering the context one of the worst defensive plays ive ever seen

pointing at the guy to switch while you just slow down and stop playing isn't the best look

my friend is standing between lebron and the basket but i want to stand there

lol

i am starting to think that if the nuggets could replace plumlee's salary with an equivalent good player they would be the favorites. it's an insane amount of money for a backup center who also sucks.

He doesn’t suck he’s a good player who made a terrible decision

Most likely plumlee thought they were switching before anything happened

If you presume a switch what he did makes sense but that is not what occurs

In general this is a Bill Buckner situation and that’s life

someone on twitter saying maybe plum was supposed to switch on a bron screen but when there was no screen he tried to anyway

With all that said they got a 36% look for AD and he just made it

yeah I have come around on plumlee, I think the nuggs are obviously going to let millsap walk and with porter presumably starting at the 4 they probably can’t afford to let plumlee walk too? tbh I haven’t thought about it much

they can keep plumlee if he takes a $10M paycut, his contract is absolutely insane

Jamal Murray was +16 in 44 minutes and somehow the Nuggets lost the other 4 minutes so badly that they didn't win.

Millsap is essentially retired, plumlee still an elite backup. Probably too expensive tho. I think you gotta pick a PF/C in the first round and hope he and Bol can make do

Btw that was amazing damage control by Jokic on that closeout, great awareness

yeah he covered a ton of ground

yeah he did his absolute best to get back

I’d be a little concerned about the big depth if plumlee left, given MPJ’s history

have no idea what to think about bol other than I’m excited for some regular season stuff. seems like he has some pretty defensive limitations unless he puts on some weight tho

I think Bol is gonna be an olynyk type, the 15 mpg backup who occasionally takes over a game

But he’s pretty unique, I guess Porzingis is the closest comparison in raw talent

It looks like he really can shoot which makes all kinds of things acceptable (also true of olynyk)

That was sad damn. Ruined a truly awesome big honey final stretch.

prob a better place to put this but i thought i would inform you all that carl sagan was an honorary ilh poster in spirit

lol at this is genuinely shocking ann

oh no billy

Billy Donovan has agreed to a deal to become the next coach of the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN.

A definite upgrade but not inspiring at all

Nuggets are a good team

Donavan hire is a Bulls move very much in character

really enjoying jerami grant as a 4th or 5th starter type of guy

yeah grant has really grown on me. he can do a lot of stuff and he’s a competitor

denver getting a little tight

if i understand the rule right that was a bizarre non-challenge

Alley oops are goaltending against the lakers

absolute nightmare start to the 4th starting with that BS call on the davis 3

Obv want the lakers to win the series but I’m hoping Denver can withstand this run. I just want more hoops tbh

meltdown in progress

wow Rondo

jamal murray just willed them to victory

Yeah I never saw this Denver team going down by 0-3

fun game! glad the Lakers made it interesting

Nuggets are one game away from being close to contending!
