Cousin's can still do that, if the coaching staff will be able to maximize him, his addition to the Nuggets can give Jokic

enough rest. We don't know yet if what they are planning after signing Cousin but this guy is not just a backup but a good provider

when giving a good minutes inside the court. If it's not because of his injuries, he might have better career ahead, but boogieman's

injuries' keep coming back and that's hurting his career.

He will surely be given minutes in Denver Nuggets as Jokic would always need his rest. Last game he recorded 13 minutes against the Warriors and the Nuggets won it.
What I would like to see is if they can put them on the floor at the same time and can manage to do good plays together. Cousins at 31 years old can do more but it was being neglected because most coaches got used to just seeing him with higher minutes on the bench which I think is not the same Cousins anymore.

Why? Doesn't he do practices?
I do agree that both of them should not be put together but with lesser minutes for Cousins I don't think they can maximize where he is good at.
Maybe when the Nuggets are playing against teams that relies in big men like Cavaliers, they could put him in for a longer period of time.

He was exhausted chasing him. The trade is done now so he can be relieved that something that heavy was put to rest. Talking about it should also stop to make the media stop from dissecting the issue.

Yeah and add to that the number of injured players for both teams.

For the Celtics, almost everyone is healthy except Marcus Smart.

For the Nets, Durant and Irving are still out while Simmons looks to be still out of playing condition. Good thing the other two signings were ready and fit to play.

Which team will you bet on? Will you bet on handicap? Celtics -5.5 @2 looks good enough.

Agree with you, we've seen the struggle of the Nest without Durant, so it's hard to believe in them without seeing them improve their games. I guess they'll still lose and against the Celtics which is one of the hottest team now, Celtics will certainly dominate.

From the past performances of Celtics, we have seen them dominate,

They already getting the rhythm and we are witnessing good blends within the team, with Tatum leading them the chance
of covering that handicap is very possible.

Still doubting the Nets if the addition of Seth and Drummond will give them the lift that they need to win, Good luck!

Forget about that, lol.. SKills challenge has never been fun to watch at least for me, but for the Dunk contest, man, we are all anticipating a good dunk contest and yet we were just disappointed because it seems like they don't give enough effort to prepare for it to entertain the fans.

Yup I think anyone who has followed the NBA for years knows that this year's NBA slam dunk is kinda soft. No highlights dunks that we can remember for years.

And speaking of Vince's winning the slam dunk in 2000, just watch it a couple of minutes ago. Yeah, it was really huge that time, we haven't seen that kind of dunks before.

I’m curious if there’s been any official word if Ben Simmons will play for the Nets tomorrow. I haven’t heard anything official but remain hopeful we’ll finally see him touch a basketball this year. The game is being televised on cable so you’d think Ben would want to show up and let people know he hasn’t been letting himself go like Zion. The real excitement will come when Durant is off the injured list and back in rotation. I think Ben Simmons while not the shooter Harden is, will create some serious mismatches and be a monster on defense. Him and Durant together will be hard to defend considering how unique each player’s skill set is.
