Jokic had a quieter game by his standards but was still the best player on the floor, and Jamal Murray showed out in the second half after starting slowly.

Is Malone insane or Aaron Gordon begged him to play???Why the fuk was he not rested tonight?Clearly hurting/injured shoulder
CB played for 3minutes we lost…is anybody surprised anymore? When Malone wants to lose to prove a point he just doesn't play CB, hope he doesn't do this in the playoffs
Gordon played with a lot of effort but was just terrible. Im sure his shoulder is still bothering him. But he also made some really stupid plays like missing the bucket a few times and retreating to the 3 point line where he took an awful free. It was weird he tried to do a lot by himself. The whole team was bad though. Unmotivated and just careless with the ball. Joker wasn't great either and Jamal disappeared. Really disappointing
Malone rotations suck 🤣 he has no idea what he’s doing. He needs to be coaching JV ball
Rested Murray was the slowest player on the team. I didn't like watching him play, everything looks like a struggle for him. There are these flashes of old Murray, some clutch shot or crafty finish around the basket. But, for instance taking someone off a dribble, even bigger slower players, is impossible task for Murray at the moment. He absolutely does not posses ability to shake anyone off and its worrying since we are close to half a season in. He tries these faints and all, but they are simply not crisp and he can't get by anyone. Really disheartening to see.
I hope malone goes back to that Bones-Bruce(KCP played SG a little bit here too)-Braun-AG-Vlatko lineup that he used vs the celtics, that was our best bench lineup with AG staggering. More Murray-Jokic minutes, they are an unstoppable PnR duo.
In these kind of games you can see how good your coaching is, good coaching could have won this game. Team was gassed, the main reason for a L, but…. No Braun, when KCP and Brown can't stop Edwards in the second half, instead Gordon is guarding him. Why?. Why not play zone defense when the team is tired, mix it a bit, live with their 3 ball? Why keeping Gordon when his left shoulder is hurting?
Murray makes no sense with the bench.. Also Zeke should stop playing basketball
MM is terrible, he leads the team poorly, he doesn't see what is happening on the field! He forces players who are obviously in bad shape who don't play defense, and even pairs them up! Jokic has been carrying this clown on his back for too long, it's time to say goodbye to stubborn MM
I think that time has come where we really need to consider trading Jamal and Bones. They are both not playing for the team, too selfish, killing the flow of the offence and playing zero defence.
Murray and Gordon did not come to play.
Gordon got mauled
Somehow Murry does not fit Denvers playstyle in this season "all score, all touch the ball thingy", things have changed.
People are blaming Murray for not having energy, but everybody forgot that he was on the bench during Boston game, had to wait till the end and traveled with the rest of the team. Players were not tired because of Boston game but because of not having sleep and traveling. I blame Nuggets organization on this. They should have sent Murray, Reed, Ish and DJ to Minnesota after Miami game, they would have been rested and good enough for win in Minnesota.
Start Braun.
