All-time season series is tied at 44-44. Last time the Pacers won in Denver, November 27, 2007.

They are damn good and we are historically real bad there. Gonna be tough.

The Nuggets are a really good team. I have low expectations, but hope we show up.

Please don't bring back Young next year.

Outside of a little defense, he provides absolutely nothing on the court but turnovers and stupid shots.

Sure, he's a good teammate and leader, but I just don't think his huge negatives are worth giving him another contract.

If I’m Denver, I’m letting Thad shoot 3’s all day. He’s a 33% career shooter and inconsistent. I’d take my chances.

Joseph = bum

Young = bum

Evans = BIGGEST bum.

add CoJo to the let him shoot list. after this sequence of 3 fouls and a matador, I'm ready to decide to keep DC and let CoJo walk.

The altitude is catching up to us. I would be surprised if we pulled this game out.

He's been mediocre at his best all year. And he had numerous defensive lapses in the first half that helped kill our lead. KP should have taken whatever 2nd Phoenix offered for him and ran with it.

At this point, just play Holiday (and Sumner over Tyreke). Literally every issue as a rookie he has is similar to CoJo's anyways.

- Streaky shooter? CoJo has a less than 50 TS% on the year, streaky would be an improvement
- Overzealous defender? That's the only way CoJo knows how to defend
- Can't run an NBA offense? CoJo wouldn't know an NBA offense if it hit him in the face
- Is a blackhole at times? CoJo lives for overdribbling, being a blackhole, and taking stupid midrange shots for no reason

Those three fouls really really hurt and every single one of them were avoidable. And I'm less inclined to blame Nate than others, but he kept him in faaar too long when DC was having a solid game.

18 points 10 rebounds tonight.

My only issue with Thad is he is a little smallish for a PF in the NBA. I'd like to have him in my 2nd unit for sure.

I was driving again tonight and missed the game, looks like it would have just aggravated my Tourettes Syndrome again.

We just stopped again.. like in Phily last week... second halftime we shoot 0/15 for 3... we missed 11 FT... that's just not good...

And again... Myles cant defend nobody... he is just big hole under the rim... he is destroyed by every decent center... we should trade him while he has some trade value...

Vučević scored 27, R.Lopes 20, Embiid 33, Adams 17, Jokić 27... he is the weakest spot in our team...

It was looking good there for a bit.
