This game might go the same way we played against the T-Wolves or Nuggets will lead from start to finish. They had a full days of rest while three of our starters played heavy minutes last night. But what I found impressive about this nuggets team is their ranked 7th in offensive rating while missing Porter and Murray basically the whole season.

Uh oh, 5 years and 1 day ago Booker scored 28 points against the Nets, and then the following day he scored 70 on the Celtics. He just scored 28 points on the Wolves last night, is Booker going to score 70 on the Nuggets :o ? Are we going to relive a historic moment?

Maybe I missed some injury to Jeff Green, but that Green you have in our starting lineup is actually on the bench :D

That Bridges picture is so confusing, when you see Ayton in the bottom left. If he is going for a shot, is Ayton running out of bounds?

Could we get that same Ayton guy who played last night? I can't believe we have 3 legit rim protectors on this team considering we hadn't had even one for a long time.

I now have doubts about CP3's medical providers. They can't even count to 5 correctly!

According to the GB being the only player to score 70+ points against a team over .500 other than Wilt, and the only one to do it in the past 59 years, the only one to do it against a #1 seed, and the youngest to ever do it... is not impressive.

Apparently, 70+ points against bottom of the league teams while playing for a playoff team is much more impressive because, you know, Booker couldn't get Dragan Bender a victory in the process. David Robinson, Kobe Bryant, David Thompson, and Elgin Baylor are the other guys to score 70+ and they did it against the 27-55 Clippers, 14-27 Raptors, 38-44 Nuggets, 2-10 Knicks.

Would be nice to see Ayton follow it up with another big game and get a lot of touches. You know he loves going up against Jokic and now he's the reigning and likely MVP.

Looks like he broke up an alleyoop attempt while Ayton is trailing the big man

1st to call CP3-less Suns a better team.



Jk. Glad to have CP3 back.

Just FYI I called Booker getting 70 this morning. Don't say I didn't warn ya. :D
