Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook lead the Nuggets to another come from behind win
Nikola Jokic & the Nuggets pulled out a close one with the Luka-Kyrie-less Dallas Mavericks. AG looked great in his return, and the non-Jokic minutes were actually a plus.

How can someone enter the match so softly, and then talk about mma as a sport he likes and would do 🤔, dont understand.
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
the bench carried the starters to a win. that wasn't on my bingo card
Jamal Murray seems to be like that stereotypical single mother on facebook who says something narcissistic like "if you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best"
come from behind win is wild
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.
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.
Once PWat figures out balance and how to stay on his feet, he will be a play off contributor.
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.
The reason the bench did so well, is that the Mavericks had half of their normal bench in the starting line up.
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 guys keep looking to the side, it's a little distracting
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??
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?

Dev seems to be going on too many tangents lately even more than usual.
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
Murray sucks !!!! not worth the money hes stealing from the nuggets organisation …
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 ..
Jamal truther right here. Nuggets will go nowhere if he doesn’t get it going. Everyone should be rooting for him.
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.
