Game 30: Denver Nuggets @ Oklahoma City 8:00 PM ET

Westbrook is hard to stop. George is quicker than most seem to think & Anthony is stronger than most seem to think. Adams is about as strong as anybody in the NBA. Seems like I've said this before, but motion, constant motion is the Nuggets' best chance to win.

Mickey8, heard Jokic might not start again, relax though. Looks like he's OK with it, still recovering.

OKC is great defensively and horrid offensively.

Theoretically I like that matchup because I think Denver can still get its points but I'm not convinced OKC can score on anyone really.

But with Jokic still not getting big minutes I'm not sure which way this one goes

Problem with last game is not because he is not a starter, but because played just 22 minutes in an overtime match, including less than minute in final 12 minutes (last 7 minutes of 4th Qtr + Overtime).

It would be disturbing if we see something similar in another close match vs WC playoff opponent.

BTW despite for me (and not only for me) OKC team is by far biggest disappointment of the season so far, they are not bad at all in home matches, with a respectable 9-4 record so far. If we win this road match today, it would be arguably our best win so far this season, IMO!

i don't care if he can't start or is on a minutes restriction he can at least be subbed in key moments like the closing minutes of the 4th

He's not starting tonight again lol I wouldn't be surprise if Jokic agent starts demanding trade soon.

I am not buying recovering thing, if he's healthy he's playing , he's the starter in this league. Its like organization really wants to devalue Jokic worth so they can resign him for cheap, they did everything this season to limit his impact on the game.

Malone is an idiot, I don't get it. Every game we have to start in the hole and pray we can climb back. This is really getting old.

I can't watch Nuggets any longer, I am not enjoying the games.

Jeez, you guys DO realize Jokic HAS played more minutes than Plumlee already ???? You're less Nuggets fans and more Jokic fans, and whiny ones at that !!!! :banghead:

Heard one other theory on Jokic coming off the bench until he's 100%, take it for what it's worth. Heard that Malone is looking for the starters to "maintain" then overwhelm their 2nd unit with an onslaught of Jokic, Lyles, Barton, etc....

Malone may be an idiot but he's got nothing on you.

Absolutely speechless from that ending i just witnessed in boston-indy game. Might take me a few plays to settle into this game good lord

Nice run to start the 2nd half, seems like we do have some fortitude after all.

Great to see Adams is out. Without him they really aren't the same elite team defensively. He's so solid in terms of positioning that he really allows PG and Westbrook to pressure ballhandlers and play passing lanes.

Just need to stay in front of Westbrook in the 4th. Keep him outside of the restricted area and make him shoot jumpers and this should be a win.

HoopsMalone · Post #17 » by **HoopsMalone** » Tue Dec 19, 2017 2:46 am

Oh christ first play of the 4th quarter and jokic goes down on the ankle

HoopsMalone · Post #18 » by **HoopsMalone** » Tue Dec 19, 2017 2:59 am

Barton is absolutely trying his best to blow this

HoopsMalone · Post #19 » by **HoopsMalone** » Tue Dec 19, 2017 3:09 am

Malone with the worst coaching decision of the year. Tells the team to foul so OKC gets the last shot instead of Denver. Now ive seen everything. SHould be fired for that alone

HoopsMalone · Post #20 » by **HoopsMalone** » Tue Dec 19, 2017 3:10 am

Malone completely just cost them the game... shoulda had the ball back with like 8 seconds

Also really appreciated his isos down the stretch. This guy is a rancid head coach
