It's hard to announce a game like this when it's not clear even 2 hours before kickoff whether Nikola Jokic will play. We should go for a win against our big conference rival even without him anyway (Luka isn't playing!).

It's being reported that Jokic will play. His son was born on Thursday and all is well.

Dallas leads after the first quarter despite the good 5-8 Nuggets shooting for threes. But we should win this home game, Jokic is playing.

-20 at home on halftime vs Dallas w/o Doncic is ugly. We can make a comeback with a good 3rd quarter, but this is just not good.

Great 3rd quarter (offense and defense both)! Despite the -6 before the final quarter, we should win this game against Dallas without Doncic and with Klay 0-8 shooting, and with MVP Jokic's comeback.

Malone finds a way to lose vs Dallas at home in the game where Doncic is out, Klay is 0-8 scoreless, Irving is under 20p, and Jokic has a monster 33-17-10 triple-double with 5 other Nuggets players scored 15+ points. Impressive!

Jamal was atrocious in this game.
Westbrook is shooting under 36% from 2 point range on the season.
Hunter Tyson needs to be cut immediately.
Jalen Pickett needs to be cut immediately.
Dario Saric got bodybagged on the first play he was in last night and they might as well have just left his chalk outline on the court. Utterly worthless player.
Zeke Nnaji is a worthless player.

Tough loss after a strong comeback. Leading with 3 mins to go and PJ Washington (why was Murray guarding him ?) goes off. Know he's been on a hot streak but shouldn't Malone have known that and tried to prevent this ?
And I know Murray's taking a lot of blame for this, but where was our instant offense off the bench known as Strawther ? He's been worthless most of the season, he needs to get his head on just as much as Jamal does.

Strawther is just having young guy growing pains. Inconsistency is expected from a 22 year old who only played 50 games in his rookie year. He's younger than half of our rookie class from this season.
Murray is in his ninth season, he's turning 28 this year, and he just signed a max extension. There is no excuse for his mental lapses or his lack of conditioning at this point in his career. I can live with missed shots, I can live with reduced athleticism. I can't accept immaturity, stupidity, or laziness from him though.
