Game 37 : Denver Nuggets (24-12) @ Minnesota Timberwolves (16-21)

Denver without Murray will face Minnesota which has a disappointing record so far and KAT is injured. A routine win for Denver or we will help Tim Connelly in the mess he created in the new team with that Gobert Jambo trade.

I thought Murray wasn't playing last night to rest on a back to back, surprised he might be out again. Personally, I'd rather see BB start again tonight and keep Bones with the 2nd unit.

Looks like Jamal will be back in tonight's lineup, good sign, back to full strength

Nuggets coming out sluggish to say the least, Jokic missing layups, AG 1-11. We've put the OPEN sign in the paint tonight.

Well NOP losses tonight, we have the opportunity to create some distance in the West with a win tonight.

6 games in 8 days, 2 set of B2B with another B2B coming up, NBA schedulers have not been very friendly to the Nuggets

Malone's classics, in full strength losing in double digits vs in-slump Wolves (in 6 games losing streak) without KAT and Russel after beating (without Murray) in double digits Celtics.

Everyone underperformed, even Gordon's 12-16-6 (career-high 12 offensive rebounds) impressive numbers are inflated with the season's worst shooting night (4-18), while Hyland's 18p comes together with the team's worst +/-.

Pathetic...

Wolves are maybe in slump, but played like their life depended on it. The Nuggets starters were understandably drained after like 5 or 6 games in the last 7 days. Jamal should've done better though

C'mon Joker, this was their 6th game since Christmas, including 2 B2B's already, played their hearts out last nite to take out BOS, they were obviously drained, which did show in their performance. If you couldn't see that you're the pathetic one. We also still have yet ANOTHER B2B in a couple of days, NBA schedulers really must hate us. And as Richard Miller said, Tpups were desperate, on home court and this was almost a scheduled loss. Didn't like it but was glad we got last night's victory instead of this one.

Schedule loss, I would not take many conclusions from this game. Nnaji and Braun should have played more minutes, though.
