25-4 after half of the 1st quarter... fastest NBA win this season!
We are so brutal team when everything works.

I have noticed new trend tonight, total ignoring of Jokic on the offense, even when he's wide open
I know I am boring but this is ridiculous.

He also should be partly blamed for this "passivity" issue.
He has just one FG attempt in first 23 minutes, and then three in last minute of the 1st half. If he wants to take more shots, he can do it easily.

Re: Game 15: New Orleans Pelicans @ Denver Nuggets 8:30pmMT
Great 1st qtr, disappointing 2nd. Mudiay has been reading his press clippings again. How does Rondo go 5-6 ??
And Mickey, STHU, Jokic already has a DD and he's going up against two of the best bigmen in the league......thought you said you were going to tone down your man-crush, guess you we're LYING !! Obsession is just ANNOYING !!!!!

I think Chandler has something going on because it's like he's playing with a controller that's broken and has delayed inputs.
Murray was setting a screen for the back-cut and Chandler had no idea what was going on.
Every other wing can run the DHO/Cut+Pass mix-up with Jokic but with Chandler it always becomes a pick and roll which is like a lot worse in terms of the lead he gets on his defender.
I dunno what's happened but I don't remember him being this out of it.

Can they be more impressive? Sure, but maybe only the Colorado fans can legally smoke something to make them believe that.
Loved Chandler's game on both ends. (Sorry U hova, Chandler has never really played the back-cut game. He's more of an ISO player or spot-up shooter.)
Millsap was all-around great also.
Jokic play his usual solid game. He only seems to sparkle when the team needs him to.
Murray was hot and played a good all-around game.
Harris couldn't have been better.
Plumlee might have had the best bench game.
Faried needs more minutes.
Sure wish Malone had given Lyles & Beasley more minutes during the blown-out-is-done period. Maybe even some others too.

Re: Game 15: New Orleans Pelicans @ Denver Nuggets 8:30pmMT
3 quarters of great ball, 2nd was a bit sloppy. The Nuggets are blowing teams out now, been years since this happened. Surprised NO didn’t get physical with us, probably less likely for that to happen to us at home.
It’s an 82 game season, Jokic is young...and was playing against AD/Cousins. His stats will come other nights.
Chandler’s best game I’ve seen in awhile. In games like this it’d be nice to work in the end of the bench more but that’s nitpicking a great game overall. If these PG’s stay consistent watch out....

Garry Harris had a +41? Lol. Impressive.

The whole starting lineup was off the charts on +/- ... amazing and rare numbers.

Re: Game 15: New Orleans Pelicans @ Denver Nuggets 8:30pmMT
I was very impressed (moreso by Mudiay's 2nd half) by our back-court. Seeing the potential of Murray & Harris along with Mudiay, Barton and Beasley is very exciting.

Did you see that insane shot chart for this game? It's not just how many they made but the two worst areas were the corners - and that's where most teams are best at 3s.

Re: Game 15: New Orleans Pelicans @ Denver Nuggets 8:30pmMT
I wanna say our designated corner shooters are Mudiay and Jokic... Mudiay I get by why do I see Jokic in the corner so often...

He is one of our better 3pt shooters
