True. Would be a statement to send the Nuggets to the four seed if they play everyone while the Spurs sit Wemby (and prolly Castle) tbh. Would also redeem Fox for his horrendous game last Saturday assuming he has a monster game.
Agreed. I don’t think they give a flying fuck who they play. These boys are confident.
For Denver, it will come down to how much they fear that Wolves match-up. Even though they've struggled lately, that team is built for the playoffs and has a scary ceiling when everything is clicking. I think Nuggets will beat them but it will take a lot out of them (6-7 games). That's risky especially when you have too many guys with history of soft tissues injuries (Murray, Gordon and now Watson)
This is what the Spurs will do imo.
I'd just play Wemby tomorrow and sit him in the corner for 20 mins tbh. If he feels good for Sunday and the game matters play him, but better to ensure he gets game 65 in a meaningless game.
May as well let him do that vs Denver with additional time off from the initial injury
More worried about Wemby getting competitive against Jokic and letting instinct cloud the bigger picture. You know he's gonna see him and wanna show him up
well hes gonna have to if we need to win it if we have a chance to avoid them in the second round.More worried about Wemby getting competitive against Jokic and letting instinct cloud the bigger picture. You know he's gonna see him and wanna show him up
Even if that game ends up mattering I'd still sit Wemby tbh. That said, I have a hard time seeing the Lakers win out which is what it would take unless Denver loses tomorrow and the Rockets win.
