I think it's a Euro thing. They're better fundamentally, but there are some that can really be insufferable. (Divac and Donic are the first two that come to mind)

Has Vogel maximized a single players talent on this team?
Dude has no clue.

Lol, this team makes absolutely no sense at all.

We have to keep his value down so we can retain him at the minimum 1 more year.specialsauce wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 9:08 pmAnd Thad.

The big trick to beating Denver is keeping Jokic from having one of those 30 point 15 assists 12 rebound games. With Murray out, if you can slow Jokic somewhat, they're beatable.
And I expected him tohave a big game with Nurk out.
But basketball is a crazy game sometimes.

How did we defend him? Did we double him a lot?

Hilarious game. Happy for the win. Happy that non playoff teams aren't in the playoffs.

Smart without Murray…KCP looks like he made us pay at times, but everyone else missed. Denver plays a lot of meh shooters…especially without Murray.

8 (!) mostly sloppy turnovers aside, KD was pretty great in this one.
And great Thad minutes.

My favorite play of the game and biggest smile was when Young skied for a rebound in the 4th taking it alway from Aaron Gordon. I had no idea he could still jump like that.LazarusLong wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 11:17 pmSuns' bench made the difference.

It’s right up there with Timmy Duncan’s incredulous wide-eyes whenever a call doesn’t favor his team. Except Jokic takes it up a notch and stomps his feet like my toddler when I tell her we can’t go outside, it’s raining.

Agreed. I couldn’t believe it. Against dunk contest runner-up no less.
