Seems we always have issues with CLE but we are easily the better team AND at home, let's take this to 3-0 Baby !!

In the near past, Nuggets often had problems with this type of underdogs, but with Murray out, I guess there is no big place for the team's arrogance nor some strange Malone experiments.

Nice to see finally Hyland in some action this season. He is a guard and highly motivated, two things we need tonight.

Definitely playing down to the competition, but glad to see Bones getting PT, especially when no one else seems to be interested.

Jokic has a monster 15-12 double-double for halftime standards, but I'm not happy about his game style in 1st half. No Murray but Jokic and MPJ take only 13 out of Denver 44 shots, so the team scored only 46 points at halftime.

This is one of those games that the Nuggets just don't deserve to win. The missed 3s, the bad fouls, the careless turnovers. It's one after the other.

The bench unit to start the 4th quarter is going to lose this team a lot of games... it's just not a cohesive unit.

This was a horrible performance in every conceivable way:

- 3rd straight game with 19+ turnovers. Almost all of them were careless.
- Ineffective bench (that'll be a pattern going forward until Murray returns)
- Terrible 3 point shooting
- MPJ has not lived up to his contract thus far 3 games in

Tomorrow, it's the Jazz... If Nuggets play like this, it's going to be just as ugly.

I can't remember when Nuggets last time scored under 25 points in every quarter. Just awful.

Poor shooting from the entire team; even Jokic was missing layups. Looks like they didn't come to play. On to the next game!

Luckily this is early in the season, take the Lesson and learn you can't take ANY team for granted. Really poor performances from both of our off-season signees in MPJ and AG, they need to learn they have to EARN the money we pay them.
