Nikola Jokić – B It seems irrational to hand out a B to someone who dropped 37-11-11 on the road. But Jokić reached new levels of avoidance on the defensive end Friday night. He couldn’t be bothered to give a proper contest at the rim and struggled even more when Sandro Mamukelashvili stretched him out to the perimeter in the…
And what’s the top storyline to watch for tonight in San Antonio?
“You don’t overreact, but it’s disappointing.” – Michael Malone Nikola Jokić – C Jokić didn’t look particularly interested in changing the outcome Wednesday night. The Nuggets were headed towards a disappointing loss at home, and the back-to-back MVP looked unbothered by the possibility. The Nuggets will have to fight against complacency down the stretch. They’ve entered the low-leverage portion of…
Cancar appeared on the DNVR Nuggets Podcast and discussed why he wants to be a Nugget for life.
Nikola Jokić – C+ In a low-leverage game with the one seed essentially locked up, Jokić barely woke up for the Raptors Monday night. Jakob Poeltl looked like prime Tim Duncan for stretches scoring easily around the rim. But even in cruise control, Joker got the last laugh, just missing out on another triple-double in the win. The Raptors opted…
Porter has become a necessary, reliable weapon for Denver.
DNVR Nuggets discusses if the Nuggets have a “championship defense” and what individuals they trust most on that end.
Dillon Brooks tried Murray. It backfired. Badly.
Memphis needed it. Denver got it. Nikola Jokić – A+ The Memphis Grizzlies are well-equipped to stop anyone, even without Steven Adams. Xavier Tillman and Jaren Jackson Jr. constitute quite the interior defense, and the Grizzlies dialed up a game plan to keep Jokić from scoring. They sent late help — waiting until he’d seemingly committed to the rim before…
What does Denver have to figure out before the playoffs? DNVR Nuggets previews the final 19 games and what’s on tap for the Nuggets’ Big 3.
“I appreciate how we played. That’s what I appreciate. But all the, let’s say… achievements, awards, contracts, or whatever, it’s just — I don’t want to say coming naturally — but you don’t chase it.” – Nikola Jokic
Gordon is the perfect player to hold the distinguished title.
“He makes sure that I don’t get iced out,” Porter said of Murray. “He’s just very conscious of trying to get me going.”
Denver still has items to check off its to-do list this season.
Better Offense Beats NBA’s Best Defense Nikola Jokić – A- Jokić was imperfect in Cleveland. The NBA’s most successful defense forced a handful of errors from the league’s best decision-maker, and early foul trouble turned him into a non-factor on defense for three quarters. This doesn’t paint a flattering picture, but we’re only poking holes in another dominant performance. Jokić…
If you’re an odds player, and much of the DNVR crowd actively pays attention to such things, there are some long shots and… short shots? Surer things? There are some long shots and better bets on the Denver sports horizon this season, so there ought to be something that appeals to you, no matter how risk-averse your purse.
Jamal Murray is back, and Denver is in the stretch run.
“I’m a Colorado Springs kid,” Jackson said last week. “I’m a Colorado kid.”
