All Eyes On Me

We’re determined to make Kyle Kuzma look like an all NBAer every time we play him. And we’re letting Porzingis March to the free throw line. At least Markelle has made 3 3s

Our 3 point defense is infuriating tonight. Just staring at paid professional players squaring up for 3

Not a good start, will be the politically correct statement I’ll make to describe the beginning of this game.

I’m over Bamba. Why the hell is he still getting burn? Every time we play him it lowers his trade value

If we’re serious about making a run, these are the kind of games we need to win. Let’s go!

Gotta love how much better role and bench players play at home. Good W!

3 appearances for JI with Lakeland, box score stats below: 01/19 21 minutes 5-13 FG 1-6 3s 18 points 6 rebounds 5 assists 3 blocks 01/14 17 minutes 5-14 FG 0-3 3s 14 points 9 rebounds 0 assists 2 blocks 01/11 15 minutes 6-12 FG 0-3 3s 15 points 5 rebounds 1 assist 1 block

Magic gonna Magic. Isaac played 3 games, looked decent, we’re recalling him from Lakeland and he’s inactive for the Magic cause he’s still not in shape. Could the Lakeland move be that we were showcasing him?

Supposedly Markelle and Franz are both game time decisions tonight. Fultz is sick and Franz twisted an ankle in practice. We gotta be the only team in the league that gets gifted a week off midseason and somehow becomes less healthy.

That makes sense. Especially with all the rumors coming out of Toronto right now, it feels like if they dealt Fred, they’d pretty much have to give him away at this point

The VanVleet stuff doesn’t seem to fit any of the build we’ve been going for. Maybe we take him back as part of a bigger deal, but I don’t think he’s our main target. We gotta be looking at OG or Trent IMO

The player I want that we’ll never be able to get is Devin Vassell

Markelle played too few minutes. I was yelling at the end of the 2nd and the end of the 4th about why he wasn’t in the game. Nuggets re-loaded their entire starters against our bench for 2 minutes of play in the 4th. Mose is totally the sacrificial coach to get us to the next level, but not good enough to make us a winning team. 2-3 west coast trip that hurts cause it shoulda been 4-1

What a game.. tough loss, but so proud of the fight

Ball Arena observation. Their fans don’t like my reminders that AG couldn’t make free throws in Orlando, and can’t make em here

Can’t get a clutch rebound to save our lives. The story continues

So proud of this team. Don’t even care how it ends

6 point game with a quarter to go! Impressive fight on the last night of a long trip

Markelle is our best player. So smooth

I know it’s your thing to react in extremes, but these kids have earned a chance to try to come back. They’ve been cardiac kids all year, especially compared to what the culture used to be

In person, our weaknesses are even more evident. We can’t rebound, our bench is bad, and our 3 point defense is awful. We’re young and we’re close, but we’re lacking some fundamentals. I also hate Mosley’s rotations

Electric here in Ball Arena. The Nuggets are a buzzsaw. We’re holding our own, but man. They remind me of the 09 Magic with a better Dwight

Bamba’s trade restrictions are officially lifted today. Work the phones John and Jeff!

Excited for this one! Pretty good barometer game on the road against the best team in the league. Last game of a 2 week road trip at altitude, usually I’d be worried about the guys mailing it in but I don’t expect that from this group. Jokic missed last game, so we’ll see if he’s back.

looking closer at the stats. We still need our bigs to be better on the glass and we still need to address backup Center, but last night the discrepancy in rebounds was so out of control because nobody on the team bothered to box out Jordan Clarkson. Career average of 3.3 rebounds a game and we let him get 12 last night. Also a guy like Agbaji coming in averaging under 2 boards a game for his career and we let him get 5. We have a pretty serious team rebounding issue over the last several games.
