Game 1. 81 more to go. Nuggets fans

Totally cheering for the Jokic triple double. But why does he only have 16 points. He may need to put up 25 (or more ) a night just for us to have a chance.

How many ball fakes will we fall for?

Strangely, the stats between these two teams are that divergent. It’s just the Nuggets shooting percentage is terrible.

Who’s going to score off the bench? Who’s going to rebound? Is it possible all those prognosticators were right about these Nuggets?

No one is going to give this to you, Nuggets. You have to take it.

If Chet falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Overall, sensing a lot of nerves. Out of control driving, losing/fumbling he ball, passes to unready recipients (or teammates not nearly in position). That can be fixed on the offensive end.

What I like at the half: Braun driving hard to the hoop Westbrook is fun to watch (athletically speaking) Jokic is solid, as usual Murray a little more aggressive at the end of the half

What I don’t like at the half: No rim protection Poor defensive effort Westbrook +/- is -16 Offense feels disjointed - haven’t seen much from AG and MPJ

No defensive rebounding. No interior defense.

Canadian jump ball!

Chet annoys me.

Braun going to the hoop!

Westbrook hustling!

Let’s see what Jokic and Westbrook can do together.

I mean, it could be worse. Nuggets are closer than they should be. Jokic will come in and take us to the lead this quarter.
