Spurs scored 74 points in 1st half, Denver's defense was ridiculous. Good that Jokic is again in MVP mode, so the halftime result is still active.

Our bench has to be one of the WORST in the league

Statistically, It's the 2nd worst. Only the Magic have a worse bench.

18 in the first, only 4 in the 2nd. He ran out of gas, as did the rest of the team because of last night's game that went into OT. Rough road trip thus far.

Jokic needs to stop jacking three point shots , he isn't hitting them since he got back from the injury and some of those attempts where momentum killer for Denver in all three losses against Orlando, Chicago and San Antonio. Its ok for him to take one or two open threes at the begging of the games to test if he's on, but he takes a lot of them in an unfortunate times and some of them are not set three pointers either , he needs to do more pick and roll and pop's and drive the basketball to the paint , because always something good happens in those situations and some post ups too.

He shot the 3's pretty well this last game, just let Jokic be Jokic. He controls the game !

He was on last night , but in the games with Orlando,Chicago and that first San Antonio game, he was forcing those threes , when he was clearly off , I don't mind him shooting threes when its flow in the game and he's on, but he has the habit shooting them when he struggles shooting them and team needs an easy scoring, which he can provide in other ways.

Well if it's too obvious that he's not going to shoot them the other team will just pack the paint, and those other ways are not going to be so easy anymore.

He can easily score off the pick and roll or pick and pop, he's automatic from there, floaters, jumpers , also he can drive the ball to the basket effectively , sometimes when team lose the lead like in the game against Orlando or the momentum in the game , he tends to take some bad threes .
