Too soon to start a draft thread?

We threw everything we had at them there to end the half and somehow are down 15. Denver is just too damn good. Gotta be title favorites once again.

Might as well fire up the KAT trade scenarios

8 points in the last 15 seconds...can't make it up.
NAW plays so hard on defense, but that sloppy turnover finished off a disastrous -21 half. Love his defense, but he's hurting us by missing his last 6 3-pointers.

Look, this is bad. We're down 15 after a 5 point burst for them at the end. But we are definitely capable of smothering them defensively and outscoring them by 15 in a quarter. We have to go into the second half with the mindset to do that and a recognition that if we can win this game, we've got a 3-1 lead. We cannot let them break our will like they did that last game.

This is the problem when you rely so heavily on effort and defense. Eventually you run into an offensive machine like Denver and it just doesn't matter. They shot 60% from the field and 50% from 3 and we are playing our asses off on defense.

Town with 3 points and Rudy with 1 point. KAT’s paltry offensive output is inexcusable. KAT’s defense has been OK. Rudy’s defense has been horrible except for about a 2 minute stretch.
If we lose this series I seriously think we need to move both Rudy and KAT this summer. You re-tool around Ant, Jaden, Naz and NAW. Sign Garza to an inexpensive contract. Then make the most of the players and picks you decoration for KAT and Rudy.

Two things: We've got to make a Gordon a non-factor by putting Ant on him - It might even lead to some steals and easy baskets. And secondly, KAT and Rudy need to remove their heads from their sphincters.

8 point burst including a 3-pointer on a terrific Jokic assist. The problem again is our bench. SloMo is unplayable in this series (a -10 in 2 minutes), NAW can't shoot, and Naz can't stop anybody. Ant is terrific and we're rebounding well and protecting the ball. But we're not going anywhere without contributions from KAT and the bench.

Gotta get the ownership thing resolved before big moves like this get contemplated.
