Give Bledsoe, Tucker, and Chandler the night off so they can't start their all star break early. 40 minutes of Ulis, Jones, and Chriss please!

It's really hard for me to not want to beat the Lakers, but let's face it, beating the Lakers means having a worse record then them and beating them in the lottery hoping that they fall out of the top 3. A win today doesn't help matters long term, but sure would make us feel good for the moment. It's the piece of cheesecake that we are tempted by, a moment of joy followed by long term regret.

I dont want this regime to cling on to any hope of a playoff push now matter how small it is. Just lose and get rid of whatever assets other teams desire.

I think the Front Office at least knows we aren't making the playoffs. Denver is on a 37-38 win pace. We'd have to finish 21-5 to hit 38 wins. That's not happening. The question is whether the front office has talked to Watson and told him that development of our youth is the only thing that matters right now.

Isn't Ryan's contract up this summer too? I am not sure development of the young guys helps him.

What does help him? Winning 30 games and dropping a few spots in the draft?

Thought that was a clean Zublock by Zubac.

Chriss is active early on, hopefully those 2 fouls don't get in the way.

We seem to be less bad than the Lakers who have done almost everything wrong so far- easy misses, turnovers, slack defending

Well, gang. It looks like we are going to need some heavy Knight minutes to turn this game around. There is no reason he shouldn't take 40 shots tonight! Let's get him his confidence back!! No matter the cost!
