McGee can basically slide into Murray's role, right?

I'm not in the mood for your jokes.

My adopted team is mourning.

Heartbreaking loss for the Nuggets with torn ACL for Murray.

I had them and Clippers as favorites to come out the West. This cements my finals as Clippers Nets now

People keep discounting the Jazz....as it stands right now the Road to the WCF runs through Utah

Yea I thought Denver was the favorite. Too bad.

Starting to believe in Phoenix though.

I'd like to see the Jazz do it, and I think they are fully capable. I just can't bring myself to bet on Donovan Mitchell.

Utah and Phoenix are exactly the type of teams that consistently get exposed in the playoffs.

I’m really sad too. I was rooting for Denver to win it all this year. I love the team and unfortunate for this to happen.

This is depressing: Denver has been a model franchise (draft picks, good trades, let the kids grow up together). Add in no real tank and two guys who are just fun to watch. After making a great trade too give a them a real shot at the title sigh. Utah is similar but Denver was just so much fun to watch.

Andre Drummond, signed from the buyout market last month, scored just four points on 2-for-7 shooting against the Hornets on Tuesday. This coming a night after the 6-10, 279-pound center scored just three points in a loss to the New York Knicks.

"Offensively, this is probably the worst I've played in my career," Drummond said after Tuesday's game at Spectrum Center in Charlotte. "I'm still trying to figure it out here. I'm not allowing it to take me out of my game. I know why I'm here, which is to help this team defensively. Offensively, it will come for me."

The back-to-back marked the second-fewest points Drummond has scored in a two-game span in which he has played at least 20 minutes in each game, according to ESPN Stats & Information. He scored four points in a two-game span in November 2014.

Really sad about Denver, they are such a fun team to watch and do things the right way. I was really looking forward to watching the new Aaron Gordon version in the playoffs, but now...

Wonder if these AD/Lebron injuries are really bad and the Lakers or screwed, or instead the team is just being really smart by using the injuries as an excuse to give these guys an off season. Maybe they will bring them back good as new for the last ten days of the regular season in order to prep for the playoffs...

Utah is very similar. Its just 1) all of Denvers primary parts are young and either in their prime or not there yet. Utah doesn't have quite as much time.

But really it's 2). They have Jokic and Utah doesn't.

Denver must be bummed. I remember having that same feeling when Shaq's thumb got broken. They were playing really well before that in 2010

 

[Ohioplayer00]

Or when Jim Chones broke his foot! That Cavs team was headed to the Finals with a healthy Chones

The NBA has such a massive regular season problem and no clue how to fix it.

The Nets ducking Philly tonight, on a prime time game, is just the latest example.

I struggle to think of any solutions that wouldn’t cost the league money, and therein lies the problem.
