I'm gonna need Malone to tell Jamal Murray (and the team) that he is actually playing the point tonight, stop deferring to Will Barton out there, he's not a PG and he will turn it over a lot out there, pretending to be one. I know he's a rook, but you can see him still deferring.

Murray's got the PG skills, time to show he can run an offense !

Anyone else notice in the last 3-4mins of a lot of Nuggets games, we live/die by the 3pt or shots 20ft out ??? Why ??

Too many turnovers, too much Nelson. Really Jameer for the final two shots? Comical...

How the **** do you play 20years in the NBA and are so dumb, that you go dribble the basketball in that situation with 1sec left??

Instead of taking the semi open shot he takes a dribble TOWARDS TOWNS. He's gotta go.

I Can't believe Malone drawn plays for Nelson at the end of the game :crazy: Jokic should have been more utilized in the post against Towns , and even if your star player is struggling a bit at the times , you have to let him play through it, he only played 27 min tonight , also no minutes at all for Nurkic tonight :roll: This loss is solely on Malone, tonight's game was winnable .

:banghead: I see a common theme in all of the above posts - Nelson.

Speaking of Nelson: Nuggets have too many defenders that get caught spectating. Tonight it seemed like Barton & Nelson were guilty all too often. :cry:

Was anyone surprised that the next-to-the-last play involved Nelson dribbling all the time out before taking a shot? That's the most predictable end of a game play the Nuggets have. Worse than that; Nelson was 0-3 from 3pt range on the night. Sounds like he was not having a good shooting night but he got the last two shots. :crazy:

Who had the worst +/-? Nelson! Who had the best +/-? Murray! :x

Why did Gallinari pass in the last shot? He's probably the most experienced Nugget when it comes to hitting a last-second shot. :roll:

The Nuggets seem to not be aware of mis-matches, especially when a guard has a big on the outside. :noway:
Is Murray a better PG than SG?
