Reading the game: Jokic posts Precious, doesn’t like it, flips ball out & re-posts on Precious. Flynn doubles, Jokic flips it out to for open three. Shot misses, but Nuggets get rebound. Jokic ends up w/ Flynn on him and now attacks instantly, scores, gets fouled, three points. – 9:05 PM

You know how there are about 2 million TV channels and streaming services and much of what they show is crap or repeats? Someone needs to start a 24-hour Nikola Jokic channel and I’d pay $10 a month just so I could watch it an hour or two a day and smile watching him play – 8:47 PM

Halftime Rotations for the Nuggets as they lead the Raptors 61-44.
Jamal Murray – 11 points on 11 shots, but he also has 3 stocks, defense has been great since getting attacked early
Nikola Jokic – 9-5-4 and I’m sure he’s thrilled, +19
Peyton Watson – 7-3-1-1-1 pic.twitter.com/md03rx2KrQ – 8:32 PM

The lead is 7 when Jokic comes back in the game and the energy in the game from all the Nuggets is high. I can’t ask for anything more. – 8:18 PM

You need to be good and to be lucky to contend every year. Denver got as lucky as you can with Jokic, but also lucked into Murray dropping in his draft. Made smart deals (Gordon, KCP, etc.) and outstanding drafting late in first and beyond. Even survived dealing Gobert/Mitchell – 8:10 PM

Great opening quarter in Toronto, and the Reggie Jackson, Christian Braun, Julian Strawther, Peyton Watson, Nikola Jokic lineup continues to cook. Perfect blend of skill-sets, offense and defense, athleticism and experience with that group. Love watching them play together. – 8:06 PM

This Jokic + Bench lineup is seriously great.
Reggie orchestrates in PnR
CB and Peyton attack in transition
Strawther is liable to get hot at any time
All else fails, get the ball to the best player in the world. – 8:02 PM

You wouldn’t call it an electrifying start but there was the Jokic’s behind the back bounce pass out of the low post to the rim so that was a thing.
Raptors by 2 at first timeout – 7:50 PM

Both of Toronto’s meetings vs Denver last season came after the Poeltl trade, yet it was Anunoby who served as the primary defender on Jokic, and he did an admirable job on the 2-time MVP. Darko said they’ll mix up coverages tonight but indicated that OG will be involved. – 7:37 PM

Having Shaq as the 5th best center in NBA history is pretty standard, in my opinion.
Kareem, Russell and Wilt have to be ahead of him.
Hakeem is an argument, but I lean Hakeem.
That puts Shaq 5th.
Moses is next up by any fair metric, but Shaq is ahead.
Jokic looming. – 12:28 PM

Los inicios de la carrera histriónica de Nikola Jokic.
Chistes con juegos de palabras donde se premiaba el mantener una ‘cara de palo’ (sin expresión alguna).
De más lejos comenzó Arnold Schwarzenegger.
