Re: Game 63: Denver Nuggets @ Cleveland Cavaliers 7:30 PM ET

I think we have a good chance to beat them in Denver. The Nuggets are getting better and Cleveland looks not as strong; although they will want revenge.
Canned in Denver.

I think the Nuggets have a good chance of beating any team at any time. The problem is, we also have a good chance of losing to any team at any time. We definitely have not learned how to win.

I can agree we can win or lose in any game, but we are definitely learning to win, finding out what it takes to win. We already have two B2B road wins, that's progress. What we need to learn is consistency in winning

Yes, we are learning, but we are still playing very inconsistently not only from game-to-game but within each game. This is where our young players would have benefited from more playing time for the last couple of years. On the other hand, if we are going to keep veterans around, why isn't someone like Jefferson playing more (or Miller last year)?
We have heard plenty of "it's a young team" from Malone and the front office and the media and on the forum. But Jefferson playing 15-20 mpg in every game might have made a difference. Perhaps playing more Faried and even Arthur (although I hate seeing Lyles lose PT).
I'm OK with depending on Jokic, Harris, Murray. Millsap makes a difference and Barton has had a great offensive year. Chandler is a puzzle.

Inconsistent, yes. But this feels different; this club is growing. By adding Millsap along with an impressive performance jump by Garry Harris these Nuggets are making a run. Yes they give up leads but that last Clipper's game may have been a wakeup call. I am expecting they will go into the playoffs as a hot team (barring any major injuries).
Against the Cavs, Murray and Jokic play well even when they have an off game statistically.

So, it looks like CLE will be without TT against us next game, so....If Jokic, Millsap, Plumlee can't secure us the win against Nance we don't deserve playoffs...

Depends on what you are looking for. If I'm Cleveland playing Denver, I'd rather have Thompson on Jokic than Nance. But I'd rather have Jokic trying to cover Nance.

I think nance does everything Thompson does, but he’s younger, more athletic and has somewhat of a jump shot.

His best jump shot is when he's looking down on the rim.

He could be better, but it should be easier to play against nance and zizic than both of them AND thompson, they dont have decent sub now that thompson is out. Thats my point
