Ayton's body language coming out the half is not great. Dude just looks asleep out there tonight. Not sure if it's his ankle, the altitude, feeling intimidated by Jokic or what.
It's probably none of that, he's a rookie, he's picked up a few ticky tack calls, that tends to mess with your game.
Love, Hurts.

I want to see Bridges in for Anderson and Melton in for Cannan. Let's see some D.
I think Melton is inactive for this game
That's why I hate that rule. There's 17 guy on the roster. There shouldn't be anybody listed as inactive. Just let them all suit up.

I would love to see Melton out there on a night like this, too. Igor probably wants to use it as a teaching moment for the regulars.

What's the purpose behind having 15 man rosters but only 13 active players?

Is that our 3rd or 4th turnover trying to feed Tyson?

Not sure why you'd pass the ball to Chandler at all that far out from the hoop. Sigh.
Love, Hurts.

Not sure why you'd attempt ANY pass to Tyson.

Teams used to just hide players on the injured list - this way they have extra bodies and none of the hanky panky hiding players instead of cutting them.

Jokic is 7-7 with 8 assists. We've got to take something away from him. Either stick hard to the other Nuggets and make Jokic score one on one, or double him hard and make the rest of the guys create their own opportunities. Something!

Suns are deploying the infamous Arizona Cardinals defense.

Jokic is making Phoenix's frontcourt look silly.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

Better off just trying to steal his shoes.
