Jordan and Pippen will not play for the Bulls, so we definitely should win it.

Good to see in 2nd quarter Nuggets once again decided to play some defense. It is now obvious that Malone connected playing time of Barton with Lyles. This two playing on different positions, but it actually makes sense considering both are out of shape right now, so both on the floor in the same time would damage 2nd unit productivity. I'm not happy to see Murray once again this month having poor 1st half.

Malone have cost Jokic at least 10 triple doubles so far in his career.

Sometimes I forget how good Harris is on both ends then he comes back from injury and shows why so many of us consider him our 2nd best player.

I like Lauri Markennen and Carter JR for the Bulls but their guards and SF are terrible.

Overall a good answer to the Warriors blowout, and it was nice to see the defense fire back up. OF course the defense finally started going after Harris got in and stole the ball and fired guys up.

It looked like Jokic was just toying with the Bulls in the 2nd and 3rd quarter.

That 3rd quarter from Murray was great, we need to figure out a way to get him going earlier against good teams though.

+100
Totally agree Harris is our 2nd best player - for now. :wink:

I still believe that in the long run that will be Murray but he's still too inconsistent, so I'll call Murray our 3rd best player.

Harris is so very valuable, it's a shame that he's not our MVP but clearly that is Jokic. Loads of respect for Harris!

Why is the shame ??? Its clear as the day Jokic is the most valuable player on this team. Take him out and Denver is not one of the top teams in the West probably out of the play off picture as well ,and you cant say that about Harris, because team is winning without him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah; blah, blah, blah - What I said was Harris is truly great and often under-appreciated. What I also said is that Jokic is clearly better.

Are you able to see beyond Jokic or is he the only NBA player in your world? I've never yet seen any player that can win a championship without somebody else - somebody or more than one somebodies that are actually very good as well.

I don't see a big difference in terms of quality between Harris, Millsap, and Murray. But time working against Millsap and in favor of Murray.

You didn't answer my question. Why is the shame that Harris is not the MVP of this Denver Nuggets s team ??? I still don't get it

On that we agree. Sure, Jokic is the best part of this team, but that's what you're missing, he's one player on the TEAM. He knows that it takes other players around him to make a team, you think he IS the team. Your post are just ONE-TRICK-PONY'S and there is no diversity , it's always the same ole thing. I don't think there is a single Nuggets fan that doesn't want Jokic to do well, but there's more to discuss than Jokic's stats, especially in this magical season as well as going forward.

The "shame" is that Harris is so under-appreciated. He is far better than most people give him credit for - locally yes but even more so nationally. I'd suggest he might be the best player on quite a few teams in the NBA and yet he gets little credit - probably due in part to his personality.

Denver never gets any fanfare or media attention, that's why. A team with that worst injury record across the whole entire league, that was also the youngest team in the league, was leading the wild west for weeks on end - yet the only time you hear anything was when GSW pasted us.

We hear about how great Harden is in losing games when he has 3 starters out. But we didn't hear shyte when we were winning with 3 starters out.

Harris is easily a top 10 SG in the league, but we will likely not hear him get much credit. It's the nature of our market. We aren't a big team that attracts fanboiis.

I don't see some special conspiracy against Harris in media. I mean, it is well-known NBA curse of two-way players of not being enough respected. And we have two such players, Harris and Millsap. Exceptions are only stars with over 25ppg.
