Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets gave the Dallas Mavericks their first loss of the season on opening night of the In-Season Tournament. Was their court an abomination? Yes. But want to know what was an even bigger abomination? The Dallas Mavericks rebounding. Here’s how the Denver Nuggets handled the Dallas Mavericks despite a big scoring night from Luka Doncic.

Thank you for pointing it out that its crazy the Mavs are letting Tim run the offense when Luka is out and its Tim and Kyrie as the primary scorers… that entire offense is Tim getting close to the 3pt line and jacking a contested 3, which has worked against average to below-average teams, that style of play looks horrible against playoff and championship-contending teams.
Nuggets said… let’s show Mavs that they don’t really have a scary presence at the rim… and grabbed 19 offensive rebounds.
Jack in the Box catching strays lol
There’s no shame in losing to the nuggets. They’re a fantastic team. I still think the Mavs are a good team but they need to clean up the rebounding and they’ll be fine. The next three games are against the hornets, magic, and raptors. As long as the Mavs take care of business they should be 7-1 to start the season.
The whole Mavs team was cold except Kyrie. One of Luka's worst games ever.
The behind the back pass was for Reggie. If he kept cutting he'd get it. It was probably a set play made by Jokic that Reggie forgot. He stopped cutting.
If anything it shows how good Dallas is they put up a solid fight
Lost to a packed roster of defending champs… I'll take that L 💯
Denver was my backup team last year and I watched all their games throughout the playoffs after Dallas tanked. What we saw last night was Denver in their top form, possibly because Dallas just doesn’t have the size to stop them but I feel like they weren’t fucking around at all. Considering how bad Dallas played, it may be somewhat of a moral victory that we were even in it.
Jokic always gives a little extra effort against Dallas. He has to remind Luka who's the best player lol
Siakam and nic Claxton are free agents this summer if not available by the trade deadline….
I get why you are saying some of this stuff. But realistically they are a Jonathan isac trade for thj and a more prominent offense role for kyrie away
Damn, I was really about to say that I disagree, that we definitly could've won this game with just a fair whistle and a decent 3 pts % . But then I double checked and we shot 40 % from 3 … Fck we'r still so fckin far from being a contender…. That's actually sad.
Great content as always
this is just me but I think NBA for now just want the extra publicity, hey every publicity is good publicity. they're really pushing this In-Season tournament to "combat NFL" ratings.
next season they will fix it
That court looks weird to play on and it was a way game not that big of a deal my guy
Denver got early lead mavs held on tho but bad for away game like I said
for me, luca and their teammates have to be more like nuggets with luca have to keep less the ball and his teammates to find more solution other then pass to luca they have to improve reboud, screen, ball share etc…
Denver damn near hit every shot! Hard to beat that! Denver was also hungry coming off a loss!
One game it’s one game. I think the mavs could still beat the nuggets in a 7 game series but I admit it would go 7. And who what would happen.
