Not changing horses midstream to Milwaukee means switching to the captain of the Titanic going through the north Atlantic.

Nuggets lost to OKC leading the game from beginning until the 3rd almost even with some cushion then collapsing. OKC wasnt really playing that well until the end which surprised me. I liked Braun and Watson effort but Nuggets need more especially when the big fella is out. Murray with only 16 points guess its harder if no one can take away the attention from you. Nuggets played better than i expected though i thought it was gonna be a blowout when i found out Jokic not playing. But maybe its also due to OKC underperforming for most of the game.

SGA 13 FTs. Denver 16.
The Thunder won't be a problem in the playoffs once SGA's whistle bonus disappears lmao

Im not really bothering with the free throws its fruitless some teams will get the whistle others wont. The stats are available for all to see and everyone can make their own conclusions from that. I dont see OKC going far this year but they will make it difficult for some first and maybe even second round team but they lack the experience to go far imo. Free throw disadvantage didnt stop the Nuggets last season the best team will overcome it to the dismay of Tony Brothers and his ilk.

I thought the Nuggets played great even without Jokic tonight. Aaron Gordon played his ass off and in general everyone played great defense. I only wish Porter Jr. would get a little bit more consistent with his shots especially from the 3

I thought so for most of the game but they made some crucial mistakes in the 4th especially. Like when KCP instead of passing to 2 players in the paint shot a running 3 as they got fastbreak. I think it would have tied the game or closed to 1 point dont remember. Defensively it was a good performance but shot selection at the end was off imo. Gordon was hustling and he did have a good performance but he has lately been struggling with finishing and Free throws though that monster dunk was nice. Yeah MJP is a head case he just cant seem to make them sometimes i think its mental. Plus if your 3 is not going attack the paint he is a big dude.

It seemed like the Thunder couldn't miss in the 4th though. It be that way sometimes
 
Could get ugly tonight. Flakes have lost every game when AD hasn't played. Guy's the MVP of the team. They better hope he gets healthy quick and drags these cans to a play-in spot.
