hey friends, I guess we don't need a game thread, but I took the liberty of making one anyways, just for anyone who didn't catch the news or whatever.

Side note: I'm starting to get better at those gradients on graphics like Daniel does!

I'm confused, and not like antagonistic but saying I'm confused. Actually confused. Wasn't the point of bending the rules to add more 10 day guys like Quindarry specifically designed to avoid postponements? Can't Denver sign a few Quindarrys (or is it Quindarries)?

Alright stoked for tonight’s game.

Silver linings: Rest days. Practice sessions. Acclimation to high altitude before going to play the Jazz. Free throw practice. Hanging out and team bonding over New Year’s Eve. Without getting sloshed.

Did I mention free throw practice!?!?!!

Green's not happy about the game being postponed tonight.

How do you continue to cancel games when you’ve implemented rules to prevent this from happening? Is that not a competitive advantage for other teams? The guys we didn’t have due to the protocol list played no role in Tuesdays loss? Pick a side but don’t straddle the fence.

So when the game is rescheduled(which will probably take a day away from our “break”), we will play them at full strength… But they got to sneak a win when we weren’t at full strength, only two days ago??? Let’s make it make some sense here.

Draymond said everything I was thinking about the cancellation. Here's a link to the ESPN article:

On the bright side that's one less game to play without Draymond and a few extra days to rest Steph

With no game to comment on, I was curious... Given how different we played without Draymond, how would you rank our roster in terms of MVP for our team so far? (let's leave Klay and Wiseman out)

No game tonight? So we end this year with a loss. Drat.

Not sure if we'll have another post before the new year. Just want to say Happy New Year to everyone at DNHQ and the community. Daniel, Duby, and Apricot: you all are awesome and thanks so much for all the effort and work you guys put into the site... there's probably a lot of stuff you guys do that most of us don't even notice... so again: BIG THANKS. This is the only sports site I regularly visit let alone participate in.

Have a safe & HNY everyone! 🥂🎉

So glad you highlighted Porter's poor decision, 3D. He's definitely going to learn from it. You can bet everyone in the organization pointed that out, especially Draymond lol.

Wiseman's in covid protocols again. Is he cursed? Seems like the bball gods are eternally conspiring to to prevent him from ever getting enough experience and practice to fulfill his potential. In any case, I can't wait for him to get back on the court. I'm not saying he's going to fit the system right away, but he's definitely fun to watch.

Don’t have the energy to make a proper trade poll on this but:

Lowe proposed a pretty interesting trade on his pod: Jaylen Brown for Wiggins+draft assets Warriors have

Not sure if I should be hoping that they play or that they don't play. Certainly hoping that we don't see the Curry COVID protocols tweet though, which feels inevitable at this point but might be better timing after Klay gets back.
