Some nice big men, some nice guards (especially Connelly) - the Nuggets will need to bring their best effort. What chance does they have? Who can tell, a team with no D who plays one game and skips the next then plays two games and skips another? Hard to pick.

They keep ignoring Jokic on offense

Denver needs a new coach, sorry Malone you are a lightweight, we need a real coach.

Pretty soft team, match up poorly with the Grizz....L

My thoughts are just repeats of the most commonly made complaints on the previous 58 games. <sigh>

Man if they would all run the system all the time, and work together this team has the talent to be a good team, to bad it never happens.

I love unusual stats. Last nights game had all five Nuggets starters play 30+ mpg. I think that's a first under Malone. Now don't you even begin to think I approve of this. But I thought it funny, in a sad sort of way.

Sorry but i don't get to watch a lot of Nugs games, but seems like Jokic left his talents in NOLA. Haha... Kidding aside, how come his production have gone down drastically after the All-Star break?

Based on the boxscores, Harris and Gallo by far, have been pretty consistent after the break...not to mention Beasley (with his DNPs). Haha

2 things...He's never played this much basketball in his entire life and it's getting to him as well as now the vets are healthy and they are less prone to play through him. Also Gasol is a solid defensive player.

I don't think it is defenses. The guy has been basically playing basketball for the last 30 months straight with only a couple week break here or there. He went from his euro league team to the national team, to the summer league team, back to his national team, into training camp his rookie year, through his rookie year, then to his national team, through the Olympics, back for training camp and this season. He has never been in perfect shape, and I can see how fatigue would set in a little. I personally worked 80 hours a week for about 3 years one time, while I was in my routine I was fine, but 2 days off and suddenly I was exhausted and hurting, and I think that is the same thing going on with Jokic. He just does not look right on the court.
