Will the Nuggets play with energy?
I'll continue to watch Jokic's FGA and the team's FTA.

Really poor ref play, OKC is getting away with muggings there

Garry Harris have the lowest basketball iq on this Denver team, the last season I thought it was Barton but its not even close. The guy will play in NBDL, when his contract expires with Denver , also he is ignoring Jokic on the offense on purpose , there were two clear situations in the first half, when he had Jokic alone for an easy baskets , instead he did some hard dumb passes, because he was going for the shot attempts then he was trapped , which resulted with the miss and turnover , on the other side OKC scored two 3's , hes doing that in every game this season.

In first half Jokic was in his February MVP-mode while Murray also holds his February all-star mode. But rest of the team are just 7-25 (1-10 3p) so no excuse for Malone to give MPJ just 3 minutes. Guy is already our 3rd best player, and I'm sick of Malone favoritism watching on halftime boxscore another strong performance from Malik Beasley and Juancho Hernangomez. Let's hope Porter is Jokic-like patient and mentally cool guy resistant on Malone injustice treatment. We don't need Malone making him unhappy dysfunctional talented guy on the bench like he do it with Nurkic in 2017 or Malik and Juancho this season.

Denver 3pt today was 6-27 while Juancho and Beasley shoot today 8-13 for three, two guys with big expectations this season in Denver, but deeply unhappy since the early start.

I see today unhappy Grant after he is back on the bench, and he almost reminded me today on Lyles, our most famous 'fewer minutes give to me, less I care' case.

I see unhappy Porter after playing just 3 minutes in the first 3 quarters, so he was bad and flat in 4th with awful +/-.

I see unhappy Gary Harris who so many times compensate his offense slump with great defense, but not today, CP3 outplayed him, and let's hope this Harris unhappiness is just temporary not because he knows how close he was this month to be traded, and that this is his most probably last season in Denver.

On the other side, I see Paul, Galo, SGA, Schroder, Noel... all players which don't want to be in Oklahoma this season, but they are all happy right now. And we should watch this Oklahoma team, they are most probably our 1st round opponent in April!

Only three Nuggets took double-digit FGA - we sure could use some better shooting. But we needed better defense even more.

When the team struggles Malone have to play Jokic almost 40 minute a game, Jokic should have started 4th quarter because he was on fire all game long and he was scoring at will there is no reason for the load management for him.

Strange thing to say but I REALLY enjoyed watching CP. Still very great player.
