Closer than it should've been but the Pistons have been playing better as of late. Still, Morris has shooting issues, Cousins starting slow...but Jokic bails them out again. Can't wait until Murray and MPJ get back

I liked how physical Cousins was last night, he looked rusty, but just setting some moving picks and hitting people will hopefully save some wear and tear on Jokic.

Nuggets were +12 at the beginning of the final quarter and Malone waited the last 5 minutes to put Jokic into the game when the lead was reduced to just 3 points because Denver scored only 2 points in these 7 minutes!? What is the point of such a bizarre decision except to create unnecessary drama (and prevent Jokic from making 30-20-10 TD )?

Seems you WANT a worn-down Jokic for the playoffs, just because you like stat-padding ????

Losing games vs weak opponents is not helpful for playoff seeding and Malone put this game at risk with strange Jokic use in the final quarter, so instead of a routine win vs 11-35 team coming with a double-digit lead into the final quarter, we have unnecessary drama.

BTW I just realized that we actually talking about the very next game vs Detroit, not this home game
