This is gonna be a challenge for sure. Interested to see how Holiday and Lamb handle Murray and Harris. And as always, how will Turner defend Jokic?

Gary Harris hasn't been very good this year, injuries appear to have taken their toll over time. I'm really interested in MPJ, in his only start he was fantastic for the Nuggets.

Jokic with only 2 points at the half.

We came out strong and are slowly letting them get back in this game.

Aaron & TJ are making some terrible decisions or lack of decisions with the ball, we've missed a lot of open guys tonight.
Also I think we need to keep feeding Warren & Lamb in this final quarter.

This is a game where we would’ve been helped by being able to put a healthy Jakarr on Porter when he heated up.

Obviously having Brogdon and Oladipo back for the playoffs should be a considerable help, but our offense really bogged down in the second half when they were applying defensive pressure. And the Nuggets can play some pretty strong defense even though their main offensive engine isn't a great defender.

When the playoffs come around, this team is gonna have to A.) knock down their 3 point shots and B.) manufacture some offense even when the 3s aren't falling, like last night.
