  4. This is by far the worst injury luck we’ve ever had. Aside from ACLs that are season ending. But- in terms of total games by starters and top 10 players, this has been an absolute shitshow. He’ll, not that it matters but even Tamar Bates is injured too. The training staff had better be under scrutiny

  6. How do we have a professional strength and conditioning coach and still have hamstring after hamstring and strained calf after strained calf……it doesn’t make sense…….either the coaching sucks or people aren’t following the recommendations

  7. Vs Bulls the offensive gameplan better be to continuously feed Joker down low. Over and over again. Their tallest guy is 6’9”. Let Joker pick them apart from inside out.

  10. Its insane. We FINALLY get CB back and Payton goes out 😭 the basketball gods really need to come help us out! This is crazy!!!

  11. Just my opinion, but it's clear to me Denver has a real problem with it's trainers.
    I've never seen players go down like this.

    Also, why was CB sent out so prematurely?
    Why was AG playing in both games in a back-to-back where it was clearly a throwaway game?

    Why were all injury time restrictions ignored in the Knicks game???
    I'm beyond disgusted.
    This team of such amazing promise has crash and burned.

  14. Only way I give Watson 4 years if the last 2 are Team option has the should be any ways. It's about the Team/Fans not players. All ready have a Hamstring riding the bench don't need 2 at high cost. I swear they never heal. Luka out again to it. Mine has not healed after 30 years but I'm not trying to run up and down the court.

  15. When you have Jared dudley and Jj barea and the awful training staff not really if this is true nuggets will have 15-10 games to gel before they go to the playoffs and the remainder 2 months their schedule opponents is the 2nd or 3rd hardest in the nba. They play the lakers, thunder, spurs, pistons, knicks etc these next 2 months.

  17. With a trend of hamstrings…. Is it a strength and conditioning issue with the Nuggets? Is it their program? For AG this seems like a trend

  19. I hope they use red light therapy. They know a lot more than me but it’s been miraculous for my recovery when nothing else was helping me heal.

  21. The Knicks game was the fifth game in seven nights! It went 2OT! Why is there no mention of this? Nobody should be disappointed or angry. The schedule maker and rust were responsible for the 3-game losing streak.
