Only Jokic and Morris are offensively in good mood in the 1st half with Murray, Barton, and Lyles scoring only 2 points (1-13 fg). But with good defense, it is still enough for halftime +5 lead. Jokic with unusual just 1 assist doing a good job for taking more shots when teammates not shooting well so far.

When our defense this good nobody has a chance vs Nuggets, in Denver especially.

Curiously, did Wade swapped jerseys with Jokic or any other Nugget?

Biggest difference in the game was probably our 3pt % - or maybe it was defense.
Of course Jokic was probably our MVP for tonight.
Millsap seemed to have more impact than the box score would indicate.
Plumlee also had a decent game, as did Beasley & Morris.
Murray seemed to be a little slow tonight.
Craig & Barton seemed mostly ineffective.

i didn't watch the full game but Barton didn't look bad tonight... was involved off-ball and set pin-downs when the ball was in the post...
They ran a DHO play with Plumlee + Craig which made me laugh out loud

While I agree Barton didn't have a bad game but as a starting SF his handles were real loose. That said, having been at the game his wasn't nearly as bad as Murray's. for 3 qtrs he couldn't buy a basket, warmed up when the game was getting outta reach of the Heat.

Barton has stretches where his offensive play is nice and he has an occasional good play on defense. Unfortunately, he has times when he tries too hard to make things happen on his own. He's a good one-on-one offense but one-on-one hurts the team overall because it slows down the offense and encourages everyone to stand around watching. But that's just my opinion and I've been wrong before.
