Miami has been struggling and they are looking for wins. It won't be an easy game, but I believe the Nuggets have a decent shot at a win and a nice finish to November.

Jokic always looks like a zombie out on the court

Worst game of the year easily for the nuggets. Just a pathetic effort on both sides of the court. Losing to a team starting Rodney McGruder, Luke Babbit and Josh McRoberts is embarrassing.

Also, observation: Whiteside has god awful footwork. Travels on nearly every post move he makes and it's fairly amazing that he's gotten away with it this long.

I don't get Malone lack of understanding for not being able to play Faried against 7 foots. He just can't defend that and it gets ugly fast.

Wonder what "spin" Malone will put on this one...

add to all of the above, the Nuggets' total lack of energy/motion especially on offense --- once again they forgot that they are not a team loaded with great ISO players, with that said, against this Miami team, they should have been able to win playing ISO offense --- arghh

7-11...maybe they think they're playing craps ??? This is where they needed to establish they're playoff potential, seems more like trying to gain lottery balls. Pathetic !!

That 4th quarter was an abomination. That's the best I can say for it. The Heat simply wanted the game more. That's what my eyes kept telling me. Faried grabs an offensive rebound and rather than go back up, he curls around. Jamal Murray comes off a screen, has a sliver of daylight, yet seemed afraid to take the shot. Too much hesitation and Malone kept calling timeout, but nothing changed.

Do the Nuggets have an offensive system? Cause I don't see one.

No offensive system that I can see, their biggest advantage at home is pushing the pace and they don't do that either.

Sure they have a system, occasionally you can see it when Nelson, Faried, and Gallo are not on the court. Too bad those 3 are always on the court and the system seems to revert to iso shot jacking.

I wonder how much the crowd plays into these awful performances at home. Anyone who has gone to a game knows how terrible the atmosphere at the Pepsi Center is. It might be a lame excuse, but at least there's some crowd energy for them to feed off of on the road -- even if it is in favor of the other team.
