How do the Nuggets beat the Suns? Stop/slow down Booker's scoring? Slow down Paul's overall game?

Denver is 0-5 in games with two possesions margins (+/- 6) including OT games. I think it is time for Denver to win finally some close game this season. But I will not complain if this going to be a routine win. :D

It is hard to predict when is a big mystery what we should expect from so important Nuggets players Porter and Murray. The team started rebounding very well last two games, let's hope it will continue.

This team is the garbage defensively , especially guarding perimeter , always late on the rotations , just awful.

Nice win, Joker seems to be looking to score when his team needs him, FINALLY. Give Barton his due, clutch at the FT line tonight. Solid all-around game for Murray as well as Morris. Glad to see MPJ back, need to get him back into game-shape as well as the starting lineup.

Great comeback win. So many times Nuggets are down in double digits on halftime but win at the end last season, but this season it is the first such comeback. Jokic is MVP, Murray not so good shooting. (0-5 for 3p) but great all-around game 18-7-9. Harris not at his best in defense but one of his best offense games with 8-12 shooting with Morris also being super efficient. Barton was good, but for me it is the travesty to play him at PF when MPJ is back. We won playing 4-guard rotation in OT and end of the 4th, but I still hate that system. Comeback and close game win are exactly what we need right now. Nuggets are for the first time this season over 0.500 team.

Jokic was outplayed by Ayton again, except that first game they first met , when Ayton was the rookie , Ayton has dominated this match up ever after , but at least Jokic was productive tonight .

They are horrible, they can't guard anybody on the perimeter and thats the fact.

Terrible 1st half - Denver gave up 68 points and that is pathetic. Even the third quarter where we scored 37, we still gave up 27 which is about the max we should give up in most quarters. Fourth quarter finally had some defense - finally.

It sure felt like the Suns played with more energy than the Nuggets - pretty much through the whole game. Look at all the points the Nuggets' starters scored and then realize Murray was the only starter with a positive +/-. Then look at our bench, it out-scored the Phoenix bench but Morris was the only major scorer on our bench and yet they all had positive +/-. (Okay, =/- isn't the best of stats, but that's interesting to me.)

Play PHX again tonight, any word on Booker. He didn't get back on the court in OT, seemed like he got injured ?

They are saying it's a hamstring - if so, he's not likely to play tonight.

Return to Denver Nuggets
