For Jarod: "The culture of any organization is shaped by the worst behavior a leader is willing to tolerate."

Thanks JC. Look forward to reading!

To be fair I like the quote more than the full article. :) But basically, it speaks to your point with Draymond. For all the talk of Warrior culture, they have tolerated a lot of inexcusable behavior.

I have to say it seems like you guys are sleeping on the Nuggets. It seems a lot of their struggles are connected to Jamal having some issues staying on the court and allowing their young guys to actually get playing time and screw up. The young guys sure showed out last night! Would be great to hear some analysis of how Watson, Strawther and Braun are developing and the mix that Malone is creating with his five starters and potentially five or six deep bench.

I'm not sleeping! I just don't trust a trio of them in the postseason. They were in my top five. Jarod's too I think.

They sure were!

Haha barely, coach had them more as an honorable mention (tied at fifth only after Jarod had a tie too - I also may give more weight to coaches rankings 🤷🏻‍♂️☺️🤍).

They’re going to have to trust a pair of them - I don’t think we NEED Strawther late in the year but obviously the more competent players the better. You don’t think Watson’s defense and intensity is going to be enough to get on the court to defend some apex wings in the spring summer? Do we make a trade? Salaries are tough for us to align.. Any concern about Joker’s slight lull (struggling to hit some chippies) of late?

Trades are tough for them. Joker may just be a little bored.
