Nick Nurse apparently stuck in playoff mode and going with a 7 man rotation.
I wish the Nuggets would have kept Davis. He looked great in Summer League.
DefenseOn cue Davis in before Thomas.
Any idea why they dropped him? The FO has done nothing but rant and rave about him since we picked him up.

Outside of Serge they have a bunch of g league all stars.Really not getting the 8 man rotation in the first game of the year. Is their bench that bad?

I really like Gilgeous-AlexanderI'm really interested to see how Utah looks tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if the Thunder made it real close despite the 9 point spread.
The West is going to be crazy this year. I didn't see the game but a couple observers have noted that the Lakers the way they're currently constituted aren't going to get to the Finals. Seems to be a big drop off after AD, LeBron and Danny Green (Kuzma is still out with an injury).
With AD, LeBron and Kuzma, don't they all want to play the 4?

I was looking at their roster during the game. Not good enough to win it all IMO. Not enough shooting and zero bench scoring punch.The West is going to be crazy this year.

Sure. The thing is they're all in on their Big Two. The Lakers are banking on the idea that against any playoff opponent that isn't the Clippers they're going to have probably the two best players on the court and at the very least two of the three best, and that'll be enough.
I think it's a flawed plan, but with the right postseason matchups it could maybe be enough to get them to the conference finals. But if AD or Lebron get hurt and miss a significant chunk of the season, I could just as easily see them missing the playoffs completely. They're walking a very fine line.
