    Cameron Johnson has been a big disappointment. Nuggets really need him firing to be a threat to OKC.

      Windy was on TV today saying that he has cheated League Pass so he can watch the Joker play (he lives in the restricted area so doesn't get it usually).

      His point was that there is one player in the NBA to watch right now - the Joker just constantly makes plays that are worth paying money to see.

      So true.

      It's the sheer diversity of his game that makes him so fun to watch. I even love how much effort he puts into rebounding, something that many with his offensive talents would shirk.

        In their last game I saw him getting a bit shirty too calling for the ball. Nah bro, that’s not how this Nuggets team play. It’s unselfish move off the ball to get the ball.

        Although Joker was selfish today with only the 6 assists 😎

          I don't expect anyone outside Sacramento would care about this (don't think many people in Sacramento do either tbh) but a day or so ago Doug Christie delivered what might be the cringiest rant ever. It was so riddled with cliches it sounded like one of those coach talks from a Hollywood movie.

          Trying to call out the "haters" in the media and talk tough about how the Kings are gonna be improving real soon and the doubters are gonna be proven wrong. Then his team get slapped around at home two consecutive nights. You can't talk all that tough if your team can't back it up, that's the bottom line. I'm embarrassed for him.

              Yeah it's a terribly constructed team.

              Christie is one of those guys who would not have made it into coaching anywhere but Sacramento. He lives local and has been a staple of the Kings for decades been the local radio guy and the colour commentator...... He's clearly out of his depth as an NBA hc.

              The Kings are basically a train wreck and are apparently going to blow it all up and rebuild from scratch. They just never get traction.

                Speaking of coaches just watched Will Hardys presser, enjoyable to listen to a coach that gives really thorough and thoughtful answers to questions. It's always good when they demonstrate some intelligence and are not overly reliant on churning out the usual platitudes.

                  Windy on the Joker:

                  Per 100 possessions, 151 for with him on the court, and giving up 104, 47 point rating!

                  Nuggets are second in the league for defense.

                  He leads in rebounds and assists.

                  Apparently he’s shooting at .770

                  Just a fucking magician.

                            shouldabeen MVP last season too

                            I know SGA is great, but he was on an absolutely outstanding team last season, everyone was great; Joker was dragging the Nuggets every f'n game.

                                Windy on the Joker:

                                Per 100 possessions, 151 for with him on the court, and giving up 104, 47 point rating!

                                Nuggets are second in the league for defense.

                                He leads in rebounds and assists.

                                Just a fucking magician.

                                And the best thing is he looks like a normal guy. He doesn't dominate with other worldly physical gifts

                                Well... he's a bit taller than average, and a bit quicker and more coordinated than most people his height...

                                Okay. But he doesn't have mad hops I guess was what I meant. He may look like a normal guy but he doesn't play like one

                                Yeah, he's fucking unreal.A big man with a shooter's touch, and who can out pass the little guys.

                                Basically he's a forward version of Luka

                                  The NBA have chickened out from a proper World vs US All Star Game and resorted to some gimmicky three team version instead. Opportunity lost I reckon, the US would actually be the underdogs in that game

                                    It seems like the All Star concept is so moribund and whatever they try and do with it nothing stimulates additional excitement.

                                    It was a real highlight of the season back in the day but I couldn't tell you the last time I bothered watching it.

                                      It's because the players don't try. A US vs the world game worked for ice hockey. I reckon it could stir the players' competitive fire but the league don't want it

                                        Starting 5 for the International team are basically the 5 best players in the league.

                                        PG - Doncic
                                        SG - SGA
                                        SF - Giannis
                                        PF - Wemby
                                        C - Jokic

                                        Probably doesn't matter what the NBA do to spice up the All Star game because the players won't play hard anyway. It'll only ever be good if the players play seriously.

                                          Mavs down by 7 end of 3rd

                                          They keep threatening to go on a run and cut that deficit but Cippers holding them off.
