I'd love to see Doncic score 40 points in a losing effort.

Nuggets-Mavs will be a big rivalry. But since 2020
Mavs lose last two games, but previously they were one of the hottest teams in the league with 12-3 run. We should be careful with Dallas, they are not a worse team than Toronto we beat two days ago which played without 3 very important players. But we should win it, despite Dallas form and our injuries. The important fact is that Dallas record at home is 13-3, but on the road only 2-10, so we are favorites tonight obviously.

Why? Because I enjoy watching intelligent players.
Jokic doesn't care if he scores 50. He'd be happy with 10 pts & 20 assists while he watches Lyles score 20 & Hernangomez score 20 & Craig score 20 & Beasley score 20 & Morris score 20 with Murray having 10 pts with 10 assists. That's 120 points and that should do it. Now that's a game that it'd be so much fun to see.

Saw a rumor that Hernangomez may be out tonight with a strain of some sort. Any news about this?

No way. No one from Dallas comes even close to Kawhi, Ibaka is better than DAJ etc etc.

Lyles seems to be on his game tonight or perhaps just a good match up for him. Murray and Juancho needs to step up !!

We need our defense back. Monstrous 74 points on halftime should be enough for +15, not just +5.
But offense was out of the blue with Murray playing like compatriot Nash on his best with career-high 13 assists already at halftime, Jokic with Wilt-like halftime 22-9, and bench with 6/7 for threes.

Murray has 4th qtr ice in his veins, between him and Jokic I'd say we have our go-to's

Actually, I like 2017-18 style games when we play at home, we much more need great defense on the road.
Monster games we need from Jokic and Murray to compensate miss of three other starters, and that is exactly what we see today with Jokic 32-16-4 and Murray 22-7-15. Morris proved once again he is our third most important player until Harris and Millsap are injured. Let's hope this game is the end of Lyles slump after his nice shooting night (3/4 for 3pt).

One single game doesn't mean anything, but Jokic is whole this season leading Nuggets in steals and NBA TOP3 among centers.

Just referring to the naysayers who continue to demise on Jokic as a "poor defender". And heard on the broadcast tonight he's the ONLY player in the league to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists AND steals. Take that LBJ
