Now would be a good time for MPJ to step up.

This is such a disastrously bad rotation by Malone. None of the starters are in, he has Campazzo/Rivers backcourt, with Dozier and the Greens. The Nuggets are down 12 and if he doesn't get the starters back, this game is over before halftime.

I really hope it's just a sore knee...

Bench stinks. Jokic is the difference and still they are slightly down at half time.

I don't understand why Malone doesn't use Bones?

Gordon has really stepped up offensively. Still waiting for MPJ to step it up.

Joker was on the mission to humiliate 2xDPoY with 50-10-10 type of triple-double, and despite the injury seems not serious, it is a good decision to not risk anything. Despite the loss, this is actually the best game so far this season for our starting lineup with Jokic's magic 1st half, and Morris&Gordon best performance. Unfortunately, MPJ shooting slump continues.

They were certainly on pace to have a big night. But MPJ has to play better. The bench is what it is, they got outscored by 29 points, they're always going to be a weakness for this team. But that's why the starters have to have a big night. The starters were definitely playing well.

Not sure what the situation with Jokic is going to be. They host the Mavs next I'm guessing they'll sit him out of that one for precautionary reasons.

Malone's rotations have been absolutely dreadful. He needs to start staggering the starters. You can't have Rivers, Campazzo, PJ, JaMychal and Jeff on at the same time. That unit is an offensive liability.

Nuggets, since being led by Malone have been consistent in at least two things.
1. Malone will not play rookies much, especially early in the season.
2. The Nuggets are consistently inconsistent.
