We’ve really struggled on defense without Roberson. I think you guys win this one tonight.

We sure could use a win, playing hard, understaffed and seeming to be on the verge of steppin' up...but then Barton happens. Good luck (if only for good sportsmanship)

I’ve watched the last couple of nuggets games and feel like we are catching you guys at a time when you are desperate for a win. I also fully expect Melo to try and have a big game. Let’s just hope everyone stays healthy.

Melo is still a nice player but it's Westbrook that always seems to want to make the Nuggets his beotch (and usually succeeds), We are in a rough stretch right now and coming up just short the last two games against prime playoff contenders shows we're playing well but have to find a way to push it over the top. This could be that game, one we do need badly. We should have Millsap back after the ASG but that's still a couple of weeks out.

A good sign in the first quarter. Denver is 4-0 overall in all matches when Jokic dunks :wink:

Nikola on his way to another triple double, our big three is playing lights out right now. If we keep these three together, imagine what kind of chemistry they have in 2-3 years !!

Wow, 104pts in 3qtrs is fantastic but only 6 TOV's is what's really impressing me. 12 assists by Jokic is also stellar in my book !!

What a game. Jamal Murray is becoming a star

Pretty impressive at the ripe old age of 20 !

Why Joker risked 5 seconds violation or interception with that risky long pass to Harris, when Barton is wide open???

:lol:

Pretty good core of Murray, Jokic, Harris.. easy to forget they are 20,22, and 23 respectively.

I wonder if signing millsap was the right move at his age and price. But if he was healthy I think you guys would be right there in the 3-6 seed mix.

This is the Jokic Denver need if they want to have a chance to win against the good teams , he has to be involved on the offense from the start of the game, and hopefully no more two center line ups.

What a great way to start the weekend. Finished work for the week and left the office just in time to watch the last quarter on the way home.

I think we all know why... Great pass that somewhat got overlooked their.

As for the fan confrontation with Westbrook, Russell walked toward the guy who was within a few feet of his seat, then shoved him and the guy walked away instead of fighting back. That was 100% Russell Westbrook's emotions getting out of hand and technically could have been considered an assault if the fan wanted to press charges. The worst part in my opinion, was Reggie saying that he was "lucky he wasn't knocked out". Reggie was at the Malice in the Palace. You can't say that with your relation to that incident.
