Denver had this on the brink up 16 with about 2 minutes to go in the 3rd. LA gets two buckets and forces a Denver timeout and it’s down to 12.
This is danger time. Murray’s coming back in with Zeke at center. Lot of pressure to close the quarter well. – 9:14 PM

The biggest issue with D’Angelo Russell isn’t that he throws up bad shots and turns the ball over. It’s that he’s never going to defer while he’s throwing up bad shots and turning the ball over. He plays the same way, no matter who’s on the floor with him – 8:51 PM

Halftime: Nuggets 63, Lakers 54
LA responded well to close the half w/ AD on the bench. AD has 17 points. LeBron has 10 — all at the rim. DLo’s shooting struggles against DEN have continued (2-7 FGs), but he has 5 assists. Darvin Ham is using a 10-man rotation. Jokic has 19 & 9. – 8:37 PM

Three Things to Know ahead of the season opener at Denver:
1) Rotation expectation (Vanderbilt out, Prince starting, etc.)
2) Potential of the 5-out spacing on offense impacting how Jokic has to defend
3) Difficulty of defending a title

Taylor Jenkins said Xavier Tillman Sr. is “probably a leader in the clubhouse” to start at center on tomorrow.
Caught up with Tillman after practice to discuss his role changing this season, and early-season matchups against Valanciunas and Jokic.

THE NBA BELT IS BACK!!
Each year, last year’s champ comes in w/the belt & it has to be defended every game. Lose, and the next team takes the belt & has to defend it. I’ll track it all year in this thread
