Game 36: Denver Nuggets (20-15) @ Indiana Pacers (16-18) - 8:00PM

[Richard Miller]

I wouldn't dare to bet what's a winnable game for the Nuggets after losing to Washington and destroying the Bucks

There are lots of winnable games in the first two weeks after the ALL Star Weekend . If they play like they have been playing the last four game, this team will move to the top 4 spot in the Western Conference very soon.

So, 2-3 positive posts in a row...WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE REAL Mickey8 ???

Do hope they maintain this current (4-game) level of play along with getting healthy again, but that in itself may be inhibitive to this success. We seem to thrive with backs against the wall adversity.

Those other games against Washington,Atlanta etc. should have been won too, but during this wining streak I think this team have figured out how to play the better basketball , rotations are better, defense is much better , hopefully they can carry that play into the second part of the season. Hopefully Malone wont bring back Millsap into the starting line up.

I Like Dozier a lot , I liked him last year as well, he should play 20 min a game at least, he's not a good scorer , streaky shooter at best but he does lots of good things on the floor and he has good chemistry with Jokic.

Agreed - but he is indeed young, especially in terms of minutes played. I just hope for what could be.

Consistency - a word whose meaning the Denver Nuggets have yet to learn.

Joker knows what it means, he plays consistently well all the time. So does Harris....he's consistently on the injured list

With Porter continues to play as a starter around 35mpg, so Nuggets terrorize opponents with all BIG3 together on the court most of the times Millsap can't damage anything.

Barton was harmful to Nuggets when he is used INSTEAD of Porter (or Grant last season). When he is used TOGETHER with Porter (instead of Harris or Millsap playing time), there is no damage! The same about Millsap, if his playing time is not stolen from already clearly better Porter, but from Green, Barton, or Harris, I see no problem. After all, it is not Millsap or Barton's fault when they are used against their own team, but Malone's. That said, I still prefer Green over Millsap, and investing in Nnaji or Bol Bol's development also have the sense to me.
