The year is 2035. Nikola Jokic has 8 MVPs, 6 championships, and @HarryGilesMuse is still telling Nuggets fans that basketball isn’t played on a calculator. – 9:20 PM

This is the 26th time in 39 games played this season that @sixers @JoelEmbiid has tallied at least 30 points and 10 rebounds. Those 26 such efforts are tied with Nikola Jokic for second in the @NBA, behind only @Giannis_An34.

Also the Nuggets are 17/22 in the paint, which is impressive considering Wemby is lurking in there. He only has one block in the first half. Finished with 9 blocks that last meeting in Denver. – 9:15 PM

Victor Wembanyama is up 1,501 points this season.
He’s the 4th rookie since 1973-74 to have 1,500 points and 250 blocks in a season joining David Robinson, Shaquille O’Neal and Alonzo Mourning.
He’s also the 15th rookie in the last 30 years to get 1,500 points in a season. – 9:00 PM

Good job from the bench. Like the level of creation that Christian Braun and Peyton Watson are getting to. Sharing the burden and not putting the entire onus of playmaking on Reggie Jackson is a good thing. – 8:45 PM

Btw: In pregame, Pop said Spurs are treating Sunday’s 2:30 pm start vs. Detroit as a de facto back-to-back. He could not immediately commit to Wemby playing in the finale.
Said Vic’s minutes tonight will factor into the calculation. Something to keep an eye on, perhaps. – 8:38 PM

A rare below-the-break 3 from Nikola Jokic caps Jokic’s 6-for-6 start. His first miss is a full-court heave at the buzzer. He’s got 14 points, but Denver’s down 32-31 after one. Murray adds 10-3-3 on 4-7 FG. – 8:35 PM

“If people are comparing us to the Spurs of the old, that is a hell of a compliment.”
Many NBA observers look at the Denver Nuggets’ ongoing championship era and see vestiges of the “Beautiful Game” Spurs.
Among them: Michael Malone.
