With the awful schedule, Jokic tried to put the Kings away in the first half. Nuggets let the foot off the gas pedal by not finding Jokic in the second half and all of a sudden it's a game. This team is just not good enough to not have Jokic get a touch on every possession.

Joker basically has to take 30+ shots because this team is legit trash without him

Crappy is what Lakers were before Lebron joined and probably would have continued to have been if Lebron didn't join...since Lebron joined,in the 3 seasons, Lakers won title once, made playoffs once and missed playoffs in another reason. That's not exactly crappy

Nuggets just have to do one thing to win this game: give the ball to Jokic.

Also, like I said, fourth game in six nights (third in four) at the end of a long season. Tired legs are showing on the jumpers tonight.

Can someone tell me why the Wizards continue to start Kispert?

Why not put Kuzma at SF and start one of their bigs like Rui/Gafford who are clearly better than Kispert. This would also balance their bench by ensuring their best players would play.

Jokic's defense is looking like Marc Gasol's. Holy ****.

Jokic teammates are soooooooo bad.

That strip on De'Aaron Fox though by Joker. He's had a couple of them. LOL @ some people still thinking he's a bad defender.

I keep hoping that Nuggets can slip up so that Wolves can catch them but Jokic has other plans..this dude is like a one man wrecking crew every game

If Jokic's defense can hold at this level (Marc Gasol like), I think he'll go down as the GOAT.

I was more impressed by that offensive rebound. He tracked it through two Kings and waited for them both to jump while it bounced again on the rim. But yeah, that steal was sweet. "We're up one and they have they ball? So we need a steal? I got you." :lol:

Man. I love Jokic but I feel kinda bad for the way he abused Damian Jones this game. This didn't look fair at all.

Denver just keeps on winning, and Jokic is a one man wrecking crew. Unbelievable.

What a disappointing 2nd half from Jokic. Guy only ended up with 38/18/7 lol.

Aaron Gordon continues to play dumb , the guy thinks he's some kind scoring machine, whenever he takes the ball he's running to the pain with it , its 50/50 he's going to commit the turnover .

I'm shocked about the Blazers-Jazz score. The Blazers had 43 points late in the 3rd quarter and ended up with 85 points. I thought for sure they would be held up 70 points. Especially with the roster they were putting out.
