With Griffin AND Paul out, they managed to lose to the Twolves. Good indicator the Nuggets have a decent shot at winning. The Clippers are basically playing 2 PGs and 1 SG to start. But we matchup much better with that combo than when Paul is playing. He's a little much for most PGs and ours for sure. I like the matchups elsewhere except at center. Jordan is the exact wrong type center for Jokic to play (and a lot of other centers feel the same way). Wondering if we'll see Nurkic playing more, maybe with Jokic too. Looking for a big game from Gallinari and/or Chandler and/or Barton. I think the matchups favor them the most, especially if Jokic is in the high post. Plus with Jokic in the high post, Faried can be a monster on the boards. :-)

Yeah, with the depleted Clippers, I am looking for another win. It would be a bit discouraging if we lose this game even though it's a road game.

Nugget up by 31 in the 4th with under 9mins, rookies should get some major PT

I know LA Clippers are missing their two biggest stars, but Denver Nuggets are very talented team, they should be in the play offs easily, If Malone had played Jokic at the center from the start of the season :x

Kind of annoying that Malone didn't empty the bench when the Clippers did and we are up 30. Why is he trying to run up the score? We also have a game tomorrow. Mudiay is injured and Nelson is likely to start, why not rest Nelson?

2 minutes for Beasley with a 30 point win, what is wrong with Malone?

Also when did Jordan become so down right dirty? and when the hell did the refs stop calling him for it?

Can we win all games before MEM one? Only hard game should be Jazz but we play it at home..If we could do that we could actually try and go for that #7

5:00 for Hernangomez
2:37 for Beasley

Thinking Malone is trying to send a message that he doesn't want them --- only question is, who's the message to? Front office? Other teams? Fans? Rookies?
