This is my first Amazon game-Candace Parker is pretty awesome, she should be calling the game.  

I met her when she was still in college. I can honestly describe her physically as an Amazonian-Goddess.

Oh please. Your starters are not all equal. Jokic on the Wizards would win 40 games.
(I agree that missing Gordon and Braun is huge, though)
Houston also has $25M in dead cap with FVV out.
The point was that saying this is Denver at their peak is not close to reality.

Parker is maybe my favorite analyst male or female. She's brilliant. 

I didn’t realize that she’s been broadcasting since 2018, which helps explain her polish better.  She’s a rockstar and sitting her next to Dirk makes him look baboso.

Dirk is baboso... He's next to Parker because he wants to smash.

 

So do I.

Agreed. He’s averaging 36 minutes a game. Need to push that down to around 30. 

I don't think mpg is the problem - and y'all have played 3 OTs this season. 

I would just circle games that he can take off. 

Hope his family is okay - not sure who else would warrant him missing two games besides his mom or brother. 

That said - getting KD to play less basketball is like getting your wife to spend less money at target.

Suns are playing well, unfortunately,

I just looked them up and you’re right-though a lot of that appears unsustainable (and once Green comes back he’ll hopefully downgrade their performance).

I was just thinking this would be a typical game Dillon Brooks would get tossed from. 

Nah. He's just going to end up trying too hard at some point. I like Dillon.

I am torn on IRS.

On ball half court defense is a problem. A big problem. No lateral quickness (as Dream would say). Easily put out of position.

Hustle defense is really good. Scramble actually helps him, which is weird (and does not help the rest of the team).

Offense is good and improving every game.

Regular season, tis is good. In the playoffs, this is not good... Especially if he is the main PG defender like tonight. 

He's improving, so I'll take it.

With so many guys out they can’t hide him on defense. 
 

I’d match him up with 3 and D guys. They’re just standing in the corner jacking 3’s. Deny the ball, stay in the passing lanes. Asking him to stay in front Booker or Gillespie isn’t going to work. That said he’s smaller so he can get away with a ton of the grabs and holds. I’m not comparing him to Stockon, but he could learn quite a bit from him especially on defense. Crafty defender with active hands is about all we can hope for.

I literally said to myself today, "he's going to have to play like Stockton, which is ok if he isn't expected to be a lockdown stopper, but just a disruptive player."

I didn't know why I thought about it at all, but that was the thought.
