Nurkic is questionable for Tuesday's game against Denver due to right calf tightness.


Book, Okogie, Little and Damion Lee OUT.

we could get Joker arrested for assault after breaking Bol Bol in half. I don't want to do the rest of the league a favor though.

Hopefully Nurkic is good to go tonight.

Jusuf Nurkic said after Tuesday shootaround his calf "feels better" and it's fine after undergoing tests. Listed as questionable with right calf tightness.

On playing tonight vs. #Nuggets: "I'll warm up and see, but I plan on playing. I'll always choose to play if I can."

Oh goody...

Bol needs to start IMO. Time to go with a BIG lineup.

I hope Nurkic plays. He played Jokic very well last time, and we only had KD of the big 3. Been wondering how we match up with these guys at full strength, which we obviously aren’t.

I don't have a very positive feeling about this and just wonder if the deficit will be in single or double digits at the half? Who shows up tonight for us?

And looks like all that talk about turnovers was just empty chatter. Stupid plays are a foundational element of this team.

But we picked up Ish Wainright. He's a difference maker, isn't he? James Jones and Mat Ishbia, and maybe Isiah Thomas, are any of you paying attention to just how badly we need a DAMNED POINT GUARD?!?!?!?

Allen is the only reason we're even remotely in this game. He better get a HUGE extension.

They play the way they do, which is iso heavy, because we normally have three iso focused guys and Kevin Young's entire offensive scheme is predicated on that.

KD looks old man, he's been terrible ever since the all star break.

I wish we were in the position to send him to south beach for 2 weeks. Those old legs need some R&R after carrying us all season

This isn't going to end up well for us. Durant just isn't that guy anymore, but it doesn't help when he's constantly facing doubles and forcing his shots. He just doesn't have a reliable running mate tonight seeing Beal is spotty at best and no one else but Allen is doing anything.

This is an odd line up
Gordon
Beal
Bol
Roddy
Ewbanks
??????
What ? Me Worry ?
