Game 10 : Denver Nuggets (6-3) @ San Antonio Spurs (5-5)

Re-match after two days where the Nuggets are again with the reason bold favorites to win. But be aware that this is a road game, and this season so far Denver is not even close so convinced in away games like at home (4-0 vs 2-3).

OK... a win is a win, and a 7-3 record after opening 10 games gives a much better feeling about the Nuggets' start of the season than 6-4 for sure. Denver is great this season in threes but not tonight (MPJ and Bones are 7-13 good as usual but the rest of the team is just 1-11), and free throws are unusually bad 13-20. No routine win tonight, but at least no big downs in the game like before in road games.

It is nice to see the 2 man game between Jokic and Murray coming back into form. As we all saw in the playoffs the last couple of years teams going to a box and 1 only covering Jokic has been enough to cause issues, with MPJ rounding into form and Murray starting to get back to his old self teams are not going to be able to do that.

Jokic seems to be great at the 2-man with most anyone that can pass the ball

True, but the only one other than Jokic that s ems to be able to get his own shot late in the game is Murray, he and Jokic can find ways to score without someone else creating it for him.

The inside/outside game that Murray and Jokic have developed is sensational, bring the Nuggets to a whole new level IMO. Definitely nice to see this chemistry redeveloping again after Murray's hiatus.

Just wanted to point out the diversity that also seems to be sprouting with the newer guys and almost our entire rotation of guys. Jokic makes this team a very unique and dangerous crew
