Forget all the stats and records and rotations. Denver wins this game if they apply themselves but if they decide to just go through the motions, they can certainly lose the game. The Wizards have a lot players trying to prove themselves and they will bring energy!

If a team wants to rest one half this is a better way to do it - playing seriously 1st half vs lottery team, and then rest in the 2nd.

Malone minutes in this routine win vs lottery team is wrong in some aspects. Why MPJ does not get a chance in 2nd half?

Barton played 37 minutes while Jokic played 24 with just rebound shy of his career-high 21 rebounds. If Joker played 37 minutes he would join elite 30+ rebounds club!

At least we're on a good pace this year, only 59 more to meet my predictions. Held Beal well under his season average.

Fine game by Grant finally, too few and far between.

Finally got around to watching this game. A little bit of a low start but the second quarter was the difference. The Nuggets only had one impressive quarter and that's the biggest criticism I'll mention. Two good quarters is better, three is great, four is probably unreasonable in most games.

Our 3pt shooting was terrible but we didn't rely on it and push it. That's nice. Our 3pt defense was solid and/or their 3pt shooting wasn't so good.

Barton was IMPRESSIVE with 17 pts, 8 rebounds, 8 assists.
Jokic on the boards was IMPRESSIVE.
Harris had a pretty good game, especially considering the defensive effort he gave.
Grant - did he just have a breakout game? Will he bring that effort again? Fitting into a new system can take a little bit.
Plumlee had a very nice game too: 7-8 for 15 pts with 7 rebounds.
