Team Trivia: Darrell Arthur and Kosta Koufos were swapped in the offseason. Former head coaches George Karl and Lionell Hollins both received a large portion of the votes for coach of the year, with Karl taking home the trophy. Despite leading both their clubs to the post-season last year, neither were brought back this season.

Bench Heroes

George Karl led his team to the highest win total in franchise history - better than all 7 previous Nuggets teams that won the NBA title. His first coach of the year award in his long hall of fame career, and fired a month later. if that's not the worst example of "what have you done for me lately?" ever then I want to know what is.

New regimes always have to stamp their own identity to everything. Sometimes to the detriment building success.

Think team is slowly coming together, team looking decent again tonight.

Playing against Denver is anything but easy. It's a wonder the Grizz were able to sustain the attempted rallies the Nuggets attempted until the fourth quarter. A win like this should motivate the Grizz to hold on tight and maybe get a good run going.

PHX, Chi-town, and Detroit are potential game winners. Denver and SA will be hard ones to decide on.
