Denver third in the West after tonight?

Still a long way to go, but .. wow.

I think they have the right attitude. They've shown they can win a title. They can win at home and on the road, so the one seed isn't necessarily the goal.

It’s a particularly big advantage for them to have home court with the altitude, not attitude.

Don't count your chickens yet. I haven't called it a win... yet. When I call it you can take it to the bank.

Just caught up, except the Rudy tech I give the refs credit for letting them play. Ant looked totally gassed at the end of the half. Jaden was a little cold to end the half, but was very hot before that. His confidence came back and then some. Would like NAW and Monte to get a little more involved, but 19 assists to 0 turnovers is next level. I will gladly take a 19 point lead going into the 2nd half. Lastly if you told me that Denver would only score 43 points in a half, I would tell you they must be playing against the leagues best defense. Which just happens to belong to the Minnesota Timberwolves!!!!!!!!!!!

0 TOs in a half doesn't even seem possible.

Come on Naz. Don't be hurt. It's not freaking fair.

24 point lead in the 3rd quarter at Denver???
It doesn't seem possible. We are rallying together over all the ownership BS going on.

Conley having his best shooting night in I don't know how long.

Naz can't buy a basket.

Refs do their best helping the Nuggets this quarter. Mike is great as usual when it matters.

We are up big but feels like we are starting to get tired or lazy.

They go from letting them play to only letting Denver play. My god this game looks rigged.

He seems to gotten over the old man wall and found the fountain of youth again.

Brand Managers are trying to get Denver back into the game with a bunch of free throws on weak calls.

Jokic looked like he had about 6 pre-game beers in the first quarter.

Best defense and effort I have seen this year in the first half.
We were just blowing up everything they were trying to run in the first half other than the basic Jokic post-up.

Hold on guys, this would be a huge win.

Good time out by Finch. Hope the team refocus and carry a 23pts lead to 4th qtr

Doesn't this seem like it's a dream. We can't be doing to them what we're doing to them, but we are. It's not over, but keep this up it's probably our best game of the year.

Our lead slipping away. Nip it.

seems like KA and Gobert have been playing less together since KAT's injury ?

I definitely think elevation is playing a factor against us. We seem more gassed than you would expect.
