Got blown out by the Warriors last time, we're finally healthy so let see how good our memory is and see if they want some payback. Not sure of the outcome (guess I'm being a bit hopeful here) but I do expect a better game than last time. This game could have some big future ramifications.

GO NUGGETS !!

If I were a Gambling Man, I bet that this game would be a 20-point victory. The only problem is, I have no idea which team will win. LOL

Looking forward to the Klay Stopper in Gary Harris tonight.

2-13 for 2pt shots in the 1st quarter

Malone's rotations have been awful to me so far. I don't understand why Barton's been in the game for 13 minutes... I also don't understand why Gary is guarding Steph Curry instead of Klay most the time. Murray has PLAYED AS MANY MINUTES AS ISAIAH THOMAS FOR SOME REASON!

I hate Barton man. Y'all see that last screen, he didn't even fight over to put a hand up on Steph.

Thomas should not be getting minutes.
Morris should have had the ball the entire time during that 2nd quarter stretch - him and Beasley practically carried Craig and Thomas's non-play.
Malone should be rotating Murray into that rotation instead of subbing all 3 of harris, murray and jokic in at the same time.

Klay is +32. At the Half.

How is that even possible?

Who is guarding Klay Thompson? I keep seeing someone other than Gary guard him, but I haven't been paying too much attention to who is.

When Barton playing his bad game, which means not just bad shooting night but also running the offense instead of Jokic, he is a team cancer. Jokic and Barton played only 13 minutes in the 1st half and both achieved -30 in +/- column. Once again Malone punishing whole starting lineup instead of Barton only.

Also, if Malone famous 4-guards experiment didn't work even vs tanking teams, how on the Earth is he thinking it will work vs best team ever? Jokic and Plumlee played 13 minutes, Millsap just 7, Juancho and Lyles are not played at all in the 1st half, so we played most of the time with 4 guards. When GSW played with at least 4 starters in (1st half of 1st quarter and 2nd half of 2nd quarter) they destroying us, because when GSW playing small-ball too it is 2G+3F not radical 4G+C rotation.

We are just a game behind GSW, but it's almost as if we are a lottery team when we're against them.

man

everyone's already said what can and needs to be said about Barton and yet I still cannot complain enough about this dude. He is such a cancerous disaster

Will Barton killing Nuggets run :banghead:

The irony is that Malone refuses to sit down him even in the night where his backup option Beasley is our best player. Right now Barton is 1-10 fg, Beasley 4-8 for 3pt...

PASS THE BALL YOU TUNNELVISION MIDGET

I know Gary is coming back from injury but he needs more than 2 shots. Yes, he went to the line for 8 FTs but not one three ball today or floaters.

Oh boy. What a game.
A whole Nuggets starting 5 looked like a straight bust combination tonight, Barton+Joker combo both went -30 +/-. Crazy.
On the other hand, GSW played like its a playoff time. Starters were stuffing their stat sheets, Klay "Bombson" was throwing bombs like hell, and they didn't even need bench players.
If you look at the standings, you should expect a tight game, but no, the difference looks wider and wider every day. I don't want to say I didn't expect that, but that game could easily go down with 30+ difference.

The Celtics crushed the warriors. The rockets also - without Harden. And they (the warriors) lost 5 of their previous 8 games. And yet they looked like they were just toying with the Nuggets, only really trying when they had to.
