None of that matters. The only thing that matters are wins and losses. The "team" wins when Russ starts 5-1 and when he doesn't the team is 9-10. I'm not sure we can even say the two non-Jokic losses would be automatic wins given what we've seen but even then that would only be 11-8. It's the same roster of players and the same coaches. With Russ starting the team wins 80+% and when he doesn't the team wins less than 50%(so far)
10 years is a long time. A lot of coaches get tuned out by players after being with a team for too long. Sometimes change has to be made for changes sake
either malone needs to change his system or somebody else may need to come in. let's not overreact but it's obvious that his love affair with jokic is affecting the team. he needs to empower others to play make and he needs to reduce those jokic touches. jokic NEEDS to do more defensively. i see him get active on a few possessions per game, but it needs to be every possession--he's the CENTER!!!!!
The lack of desire night to night from this team jumps through the TV screen. It wasn't even there in the season opener, at home, against OKC. Mind boggling!
2points from AG, and another low scoring night from foken MPJ. Malone decisions not to start Russ should, seriously, be questioned, since 5-1 speaks for itself.
More second chance points after Nuggets fight Jokic for rebounds. How can we get them to box out opponents and not fight team mates. People say effort is low, but I think it looks like they are trying too hard without focus. Russ is great, though.
No AG has to come over and force the pass to Grant. The coach says he didn't want the double team but he ain't gonna be mad at you when the shot clock expires or Grant misses the game winning 3.... Players have to play on instinct at times and you can see AG's instinct was to guard but he made a weak effort to guard....as soon as he sees the blow by he has to crash hard to Simons to force a pass and a heave from Grant....if it goes in it goes in.
Forcing that 3 up late in the 4th wasn’t what he needed. Granted his technique looks better, less slow/glitchy. But he needs to get aggressive around the basket
@@zalosnasova750 you think coach wants weak ass picket and Zeke? That’s all Booth homie. If Calvin respected Malone and his input we wouldn’t have either on the roster.
To allow Simons (190cm) to score lay-up with the buzzer - unacceptable!!! "They(Blazers) got to win..." Let me get something straight: Nuggets didn't "get to win"?
When will you realize russell westbrook should be the starting point guard wake the hell up
5-1 Cory!
9-10 when he doesn't start.
This is not rocket science.
The starters with Russ +16. I'm glad someone else is saying it.
Absolutely
I've been saying the same thing for a veeeeeeeeeery long f***** time
atp he has to really try. just stagger the bench a bit earlier so u dont lose a point guard in lineups because Strawther cannot be ur backup pg
Start Russ. We're 5-1 when he starts. I love CB energy but he's better off the bench
He’s really not though, the reason his number have shot up is because he’s playing next to Jokic

And how many games have we had our full roster? Home many games have we had AG and Murray healthy?
CB was the only one scoring at the beginning of the game! Don't blame him!
Horrible defense just horrible

bench cb, start russ and make murray sg,
Been saying that.
AG gotta score more than 2 points and he should've slide over at the end to help Westbrook after Simons blowed by for the game winner
No that's on Jokic rim protection gotta be better

@@michaelallen8112if Jokic challenged that, ayton would be wide open
They’re adults with massive contracts. How can they not play with effort? What motivation do they need?
Unfortunately NOBODY listen to you anymore Malone... And new GM with new coach is MUST, and ASAP
MALONE MUST GO.
I've never liked Malone!
Nah. Not even
You don't say that when they win
All of the starters sucked today!
Jokic needs to rebound more!!!
Zero desire to win!
So Couch you gave 7 Mill a year to Zeke instead of keeping kcp?
Coach doesn’t make that decision
@@303aron3031 Yeah, it's on "management".... in other words a fkin Boot

Trade Jokić he deserve better team

Simple. Insist that the 3rd quarter be won or lose your job.
Jokic karing 3 bilion on his back..
below average coach
Maybe the team need a new voice from malone
💯💯💯 bro it's so obvious when u look from far .. and with new coach new GM
He can't have another voice wtf bro. Must be new coach.
