Uh, where is our advantage tonight? Harris will cover Irving so maybe Murray vs, no, wait, their SG is a fairly big guy. That'll be tough. To win this one is going to take a great team effort, lots of team ball with lots of movement - less standing.

Doing well to hang in there. Really surprised scoring this much even with Horford out. It seems like a struggle to get a good look every possession but somehow they keep scoring.

Plumlee cracks me up with these endless DHO's. Like if they barred those I'm not sure he'd be in the league

Denver has some great offensive talent - most of their players. Offense is not and has not been a problem for one year now, as all the young players have been getting more playing time. Defense is the issue and it's better than last year. It takes young players, especially PGs to learn how to play in the NBA. It takes longer for almost every young player to learn to play defense and since Denver has not established any defensive ability in the past two years, it will be even more difficult for the young Denver players.

Not a bad effort given the circumstances. Just kinda died in the 4th

Garris and Jamal were mad men... combined for 64 and played like the Celts just killed their parents.

That's a huge game from our back court !! Considering we just played the team with the best record in the NBA to a 6-pt road loss five players WITHOUT 3 of our top players including our top two.

Christmas Wish - our guards can play like this for the rest of their Nuggets careers !!

Perhaps some people might begin to see the potential of our young backcourt?

Just hope Harris and Murray see what they're capable of....and continue to produce. More surprised by the Harris outburst, 1st time he's taken that many shots.

So totally agree. I would not object to Jokic & Harris taking 20 shots per game. You know I'm a huge Murray believer but I'm not sure he's ready for that, but at least 12-15 would be nice. I still believe he might be the second best player on the Nuggets by the end of the year. But Lyles might make that difficult. With those four on the floor at the end of the game, there will be a great deal of confidence that we can get a good last shot. (Well, maybe not yet, but we're getting there.)
