The offense should always run through Jokic when he's on the court and it looks like Malone is finally figuring that out. His passing is contagious even Faried had a pretty bounce pass yesterday. I think the young guys on this team are starting to realize if they have consistent effort and engergy every night that they're a playoff team. This team needs a nice winning streak to get the fans back in the Pepsi Center, it's disappointing seeing it so empty every game. That London game reminded of how much a packed arena plays a factor in player performance.

Good litmus test here. If you want to be considered a "Good" team you should be able to beat a lesser team on the road, even on a B2B. Coming off an early game which was easily won, so no late travel. (I think Malone played the vets too much yesterday tho, we'll see.)

Now, if only Nelson would figure that out.
I remember when the Nuggets fans packed out the arena. All they want is a winning team and they'll settle for 45 wins even.

Barton is back in the starting lineup.

Please get Jameer Nelson off this team. PLEASE!

Looks like the Fakers want to keep their 1st again this year....Tank Time !!

And is it just me or does Mudiay look better than Russell ??

Wow, 8th spot is ours right now....only 6.5 back of the 7th spot

Echos of earlier when Barton started. He seems to have found his game again.

Jokic is reaching for star status.

Still, they ran out of gas late in the 4th, as expected.

Spent the last two weeks out of the country without internet access, doesn't seem like much has changed. At least they managed to hold on to this one. Jokic and Mudiay looking good too.

The Lakers might have the worst shot selection I've ever seen. Even if when they were making them, that was ugly to watch.

I bet the guy who somehow calls himself the Governor of the Nuggets with a straight face is cooking up a super short-sighted trade as everybody enjoys this win.

I have zero faith in Governor Josh.

Bravo Nuggets, it was close but they pulled it out.

I feel like Malone is riding the starters a lot. They're probably well rested after all those days off but as they get back to playing more days than not the bench has to be given more minutes.

While I don't condone a shortsighted move what will come off as short sighted to us might play better with the general Nuggets fan base and sell more seats/2 playoff games for Josh.

Would that short sighted move include trading for Paul Millsap? No doubt that type of trade would help the Nuggets in the short run but the price might be too high. We will see.
