The Nuggets are defending SGA really well. He’s 2-of-7 for the first quarter….challenging him at the rim, making it tough for him to get paint touches – 9:28 PM

We have evolved from “Peyton Watson hit his first three since October 29th” last game to “Peyton Watson is the above-the-break spacer on Jokic postups” tonight. – 9:27 PM

Ousmane Dieng did a really good job walling up at the rim and staying vertical to force a miss. Encouraging few games from him. – 9:26 PM

Great ball movement even after a made shot moving with tempo helps OKC on offense. Jaylin Williams cashes in a 3. Really nice start. – 9:24 PM

That first Shai Gilgeous-Alexander bucket was impressive he had done a good job all year of initiating contact creating space at the rim to score. Pretty fun tempo to this one so far. – 9:16 PM

I will only acknowledge Chet’s block on Jokic’s shot at the apex and not the ensuing offensive board and second-chance bucket – 9:16 PM

Michael Malone believes Zeke Nnaji is “an effective player for us” and wouldn’t consider him “out of the rotation,” but he’s gone with DeAndre Jordan at backup center because he’s such an efficient pick-and-roll partner with Reggie Jackson, and he’s rebounded/defended the rim. – 7:31 PM

Michael Malone mentioned that he’s most concerned about Denver’s turnovers when facing the OKC Thunder.
“I had to look at this and fact check it: the last five games, they’re averaging 27 points a game off of turnovers they force.”
Gotta protect the basketball and play smart. – 7:31 PM

“You kind of see some of us in them.”
Mentioned that they were young, hungry, and a team that has the attention of the rest of the NBA. – 7:22 PM

Winning the 2024 NBA championship probably means beating Nikola Jokic.
There is no “good” Nikola Jokic defender, but Draymond Green is among the best Nikola Jokic defenders in the NBA.
If you’re wondering if he has trade value, that alone means that the answer is yes. – 6:48 PM
