Bench scoring after first quarter: Wizards 12 - 4 Nuggets. Nnaji has to be able to hit those wide open 3s tonight.

Couldn't ask for a better first half. Now comes the dreaded 3rd quarter where the Nuggets have had some troubling moments. Need to close out better on Bertans.

Defense makes difference. We limited great Wizards backcourt duo Beal and Dinwiddie to only 6 points in 1st half, so this game is already over (big 2nd half collapses we have this season only in road games).

Jokic is 28-19-9 after 3 quarters. Only Malone can prevent him from historic 30-20 triple-double.

What is wrong with Joker? One awful call can't be a reason to overreact like that when his team leads 20+ and he is so close to a historic individual achievement!? So disappointing end of a near-perfect game until that moment.

To be fair he got kneed in the nuts and elbowed in the face on the defense and then he got fouled on the next play on the offense too , both missed by the refs , it was a bs ejection.

instead of Malone saying Jokic needs to control his outbursts. Maybe you should lose yours to save your best player from ejection.

Why is Jokic not getting the calls other MVPs always get. (rhetorical)

With the way that Jokic is refed and the fact that the NBA still lets Tony Brothers ref Nuggets games is the reason I know longer argue with former NBA fans that the game isn't fixed. How does a ref that has thrown a guy out 6 times in 2 years still allowed to ref that team? He is obviously biased and does not like the guy, and it obviously affects the way he calls the game.

Tony Brothers has it in for Jokic. He has ejected Jokic twice now.

He has ejected him 7 times in his career, 6 just in the last 2 years.

Wow, I didn't even know it was that many... That's awful.

And yet the NBA continues to use this guy
