Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook lead the Nuggets to another come from behind win

[@Krazyabe]

That's a pretty big win tonight. Guys came out real flat and I thought they were gonna throw another one away. They definitely flipped the switch tonight in the 4th. Dallas is always tough and these games against them are as meaningful to the standings as it gets this time of year. So really glad to see the guys pull this one out.

[@samhathaway2251]

I told my buddy that as long as the nuggets were within 12 pts entering the 4th they'd find a way. They certainly made me look smart

[@morniclegreen3534]

Haha, you can count on us to play like poppoo water and then remember how to play all of a sudden

[@Liz_A.5280]

😂so nerve racking though! I cannot trust another team pulling that much scoring in last 3 mins!

[@GTNover]

When they went down 12 in the 3rd with about 6 minutes left I saw they were +310 on draft kings. Took that right away.

Jokic, the best scorer in the league, let alone on the Nuggets, just 13 FGA all night and at least 4 were offensive rebounds. Jokic should be taking a minimum of 20 FGA every game and he should be driving to the basket for most of them and doing so early

[@TheMilapMehta]

That run the Mavs went on in the 3rd was so frustrating because of this. I have no clue why everyone was taking quick shots instead of getting the ball to Jokic. There were 4 consecutive possessions where his only involvement was a screen. Ridiculous that the Nuggets have the best player in the world and make him an after thought at times.

[@TheMilapMehta]

AG looked GREAT off the bench. He can create his own shot better than MPJ which really helps in non-Jokic minutes. Hope the Nuggets continue that since this lineup works. The part that concerns me is that it took forever for Jokic to get a shot in the second half. When another team goes on a 10+ point run, the Nugget HAVE to get the ball to Jokic. Having Jamal isos or CB/Strawther/MPJ jack up a quick shot with no pass should never happen. Jokic is a guaranteed gapstop. Why the Nuggets refuse to use it is beyond me.

[@406dn7]

The reason the bench did so well, is that the Mavericks had half of their normal bench in the starting line up.

[@BenGreen1980]

the bench carried the starters to a win. that wasn't on my bingo card

Once PWat figures out balance and how to stay on his feet, he will be a play off contributor.

His offense has potential to become impactful even though he maybe not make threes.

When he somehow cracks the starting lineup (not sure when or where), the Nuggets will be on their way to their second championship

murray has now become the equivalent of westbrook on the lakers where he just struggles ... that being said maybe murray just don't fit with the offensive scheme anymore and he needs to just like russ find a team and a system that works better for him.. it also seems like murray is a bit uninspired to play because russ is getting all his shine ..

[@406dn7]

Yes, Westbrook is the Nuggets second best player. Murray is, at best, is their fourth best player. I'd take Jokic, Westbrook and Gordon before him, and maybe, maybe Porter.

Horrible coaching game. If Malone starts Jokic/MPJ/Watson/CB/RUSS, this game would not be this close. The Mavs has no great playmaker or scorer on their team, all we need are solid perimeter defenders to stop them from sharing the ball. Make the Mavs play iso, and we have length against them. 1st quarter the Mavs kept playing the bully ball on Murray really hurt my eyes. Can we play some high IQ chess game instead of just putting the 208M cash bag on the court to see if it works or not every night?

[@theburneraccount9650]

Issue is they can't put Jamal on the bench. He's making the max while Russ is making the minimum. Management will let Jamal start until he proves his worth or until they can find a trade

[@kimperes1903]

Aaron Gordon came off that bench in the 4th on 🔥 he got everybody involved after he hit that 3 in the corner it was on after that

Wind is dead wrong...they're not a mediocre team without Murray....they're a mediocre team when he's out there shitting the bed like he was for 85% of the game. Same team beat OKC at full strength without him and Gordon. The issue is when he's bad he's awful on both defense and on offense...where he turns the offense into a damn slog with his over-dribbling and nonsense.

You can't sacrifice CB"s development for Westbrook to start. That would be huge mistake. Russ will get his minutes anyway but CB must grow with Jokic and starting group.

[@JakeStine]

Murray stinking in the first half and turning it on in the 2nd half the story of his career. Consummate 6th man kind of energy.

[@RkwadTheHustla-oq4ro]

This team is a disaster entirely because of the coach, who can’t fix Jamal. You have the best low post player in the world - why did he get less shots than Jamal or Russ? Do any of these podcasters call him out??

[@chungston]

Jamal truther right here. Nuggets will go nowhere if he doesn’t get it going. Everyone should be rooting for him.

[@kimperes1903]

Aaron Gordon is that missing factor when they are doubling Jokic him and Aaron have this telepathy to know when Aaron is running to that dunker spot thats whats been missing

Christian Braun always "looks like" a 3D. Last season he was struggling too but his 3% still look fine. That's stats-padding because of his fear to shoot.

You’re dead right. They should’ve been looking to move him or cut him right after the Wolves series last year. Throwing the heat pad on the court, he was actually doing the team a huge favor: “Look at me, I’m an immature jerk, you don’t want me.” But they failed to act
