Game 05 : Denver Nuggets (3-1) @ Portland Trail Blazers (3-2)

[THE J0KER]

Portland is doing surprisingly well this season so far. However, no matter how good their form and chemistry are, a team without an all-star player should not pose too significant a threat to this Nuggets team (even at home) if we play our game.

[THE J0KER]

For the first time this season, Denver didn't score 60+ at halftime, and even FG% is slightly under 50% thanks to 3pt 3-13 and bench 5-15 bad shooting. But defense is good, Nuggets still lead +4, so if defense stays good, MVP Jokic's another triple-double and Murray's another high-scoring all-star performance should be enough for another win.

Totally disappointing game,Jokic misses history by ONE ASSIST, AG gets called for a foul with ONE SEC left in a tie game....Nuggets get jobbed in these Emirate Cup games every year. Such BS

As a POR fan, sorry DEN got jobbed last night at the end of the game.

The Jokic wrap up should have been a foul.

Why didn’t Jokic take more shots? Was he sick?

Hi, first I really like your team. Unfortunately you know how it feals being on the bad side of the whistle, you team is there more often then not.
All that pisses Nuggets fans is treatment by NBA, nothing against Portland.

About Jokic and shots he is still trying to make whole team going which is the best way to win games. The better Nuggets team is he will shoot less.

2024/25 - 19.5 shots per game
2023/24 - 17.9 shots per game
2022/23 - 14.8 shots per game - championship year

Our team now is on the level of 2022/23 team, he is shooting 14.0 per game. All fans would like more, but I guess he knows what he is doing
