Real shame that Rose got hurt.
Think with Rose we would be able to win 1 more game in this stretch.
Was hoping for 3-2 on this trip, but 2-3 isn't awful.
Can't stress the importance of the next 3. All teams fighting us in the playoff race.
Noah just continues to sadden me. If he were making 8 million a year and playing this way, ok. At 18 million he's stealing money. He's a complete liability on offense too many times. Holds on to the ball way too long, doesn't attack or look to score. He can pass and be a factor on the boards but it's not effective on most nights.
Our defense was a joke last night. We weren't contesting or competing on defense with any intensity. Could be that it's Denver.
I still think Hornachek should think about making a change to the starting 5. We need more scoring ability with the starting 5. Teams just sag off Noah and make it harder for KP and Melo to score.

Noah has not played well, but the problem is defense. If there is a change to the starting 5 that makes the defense better I'm all for it - but I think is a systemic problem and swapping someone out of the starters is not going to solve it.

Jennings is a funny player. He likes to pressure the ball but gets beat most of the time.
