It's been a weird year for the Nuggets, who really haven't had much time as a whole healthy starting unit. Between babies and injuries to Murray, Gordon, Cancar, etc., the starting line-up has been a real craps-shoot on a nightly basis.

[@Ountae]

They need to figure it out but what you said is fair!

[@OnlyHoops15]

this is a dope podcast

[@Ountae]

Thanks!

Murray has been inconsistent after winning the Championship and should've taken a rest instead of Joining Canada Olympics Team

[@Ountae]

It would’ve been nice to see him take some time off.

[@vjekoslavprpic496]

Booth assembled championship team, non Jok minutes were bad then too, when will be Malones fault?

[@Ountae]

Fair. Look when you’re losing games the way they are, everyone takes on a little blame. Some more than others.

Just was no money to keep Brown. 25 mill was to much for him any ways but should of done better then Reggie has replacement. I think Braun is has good has CP. Problem is the big contracts to that top 4 players you are talking about and only 1 deserves it. There are other bad contracts to players that don 't even play there so bad. Problem is Booth 100%. What's has Booth done in his life that said he can handle 100's of million dollars deals? His college degree is a Art manger. What a joke. Nuggets and others need real business men for GM's not ex jocks!

I’m sorry but this conversation is getting mad crazy annoying. Tel me you didn’t see Bruce Brown be a negative in the regular season u til the play offs…tell me how all of sudden KCP is this big needle mover but every media pundant claimed for years Joker had no help anyways…tell me how CB is having a career year more than filling KCPs role but gets no credit…tell me how Murray is the only thing keeping them from being untouchable and yet yall are blaming everyone else. SMH! The only player that needs to change or be sent out won’t change and can’t be sent out but all of the media pundants said to sign before the season or that would signal more issues. No one knows what they’re talking about man and it shows. Booth has been right about everything but that Murray contract, PERIOD!

[@Ountae]

Bruce Brown played well when it mattered. I’d rather have a playoff elevator than a playoff slider. CB is good and I like his game but he’s missing some of the nuances that comes with veteran play. Murray has been struggling and deserves blame but they haven’t got a back up big that fits their style and bench scoring has been missing for a couple of years. That’s on Booth.
