There is no reason this game should be a back to back for either team. Nuggets don’t play again until a home game on Tuesday and we play on Wednesday.

In my opinion this game is our first 'real' test against a competitor (really important for the end of the season standings) on our level.

I hope for a win.

We need this one since winning in Denver is so tough.

Russ will need to be better defensively in this one. Those Denver guards can punish you for not defending them.

I think we’ve just lost too many players for our defense to hold up. This will be tough.

This is one of those games where I think we're really going to miss Ferguson and Diallo. Denver's going athletic backcourt is going to put a lot of pressure on OKC's defense. The Thunder will have to remain disciplined tonight....particularly Westbrook.

If Westbrook plays under control and doesn't try top florence things we should be good.

We also need to get Abrines or Patterson going again to help Schroder carry the scoring load with the second unit.

After sliding his jersey over his head he was put in concussion protocol.

Westbrook is going to have his hands full tonight on defensive side. I want to see him get ball to Adams and see what he can do in post versus Jokic. Abrines needs to get going tonight too.

Jokic is so skilled. I wonder how good he would be if he wasn’t built like an e-gamer.

Plumlee, 45% FT shooter, steps up and drains both. I'm going to e a lot more annoyed if he does the same thing in the 4th quarter if the game is close.
