Yeah I no longer worry about him. He’s playing like a true third option right now.

IMO that's just the NBA.

And yet people wonder why the NBA's ratings are tanking.

I'm still mad Thibs brought back KAT with 2 fouls when Jokic was still sitting. Whatever happened to "it's all about matchups" Thibby?!!!

Attacking Jokic, Murray and MPJ is easy work. Three traffic cones. Then you got Westbrick being Westbrick. We played well although the bench had their struggles and we missed some free throws, really should have a bigger lead than what it is. OG has been cooking

OG always plays so well against the Nuggets. He must hate them.

As a team, actually at 52% FG and 6-14 from 3 (43%). I thought it would be much worse. But we’re only 6-12 FTs.

Before I read the comments I know I will see complaints about the missed bunnies but I'm happy with the team so far. Bench players are getting shots. They just need to continue the pace. The shots will fall.

Cam Payne needs to shoot more. Like as soon as he crosses the mid court

Murray is tough cover for Mikal. I think he's exerting a lot of energy on the defensive end and it's affecting his offense tonight.

He’s always wide open, no defender for miles

Well, the rationale is to keep the game competitive so people don't turn away.
Even in the 90's the college purists would say "you don't need to watch a game until the last 5 minutes"
Real issues today are the ease of scoring, foul baiting. Make scoring more meaningful and people will be more compelled to watch. At least people like ME would be.

Not the best half but we have the lead.

Sharing the ball, playing well, but some nights things don’t bounce your way. We will see.
