I wonder if Malone will limit Jokic's minutes tonight, either way I'm optimistic we can keep this a close game. Everyone seems to be feeding off of Jokic and elevating their games.

Almost certainly was a schedule loss but for whatever reason this team falls apart against the Spurs in the second half.

I am a bit tired of our guards consistently getting beat off the dribble. Murray is like the only one that can actually stay in front of his man, and he by all means is not the best defender, so I am questioning the effort of the other guards.

That said it is time we should be starting Murray. Getting tired of Nelson and Barton's ****, those two are pathetic in their attempts to play off the ball or play any resemblance of team basketball. At least Gallo has accepted that he needed to do less ISO and more cutting.

DownToBuck (Youtuber who posts players highlights) dropping the truth bomb in Jamal Murray's 20pt highlights video

I like seeing Jamal Murray shoot the basketball. I want to see him shoot the basketball more often. That's all there is to it. I'm often critical of so-called "chuckers", and I've even been critical of Murray himself for taking too many bad shots. But I don't care anymore. Whatever shots he has to take to get to 30 points, those are the shots I want him to take.

These shots will have to come at the expense of other players, but aside from Nikola Jokic and maybe Wilson Chandler, all of those other players deserve to have their shots taken away. The Nuggets need to stop this foolish 8th seed push. Fine, they can continue it, but only if it comes on the backs of Jokic and Murray. And Johnny O'Bryant. But I don't want to see their non-core pieces dragging them to a first-round ass whooping.

Lets calm down with johnny obryant. But handing they keys over to Jokic and Murray is fine with me.
