  1. Regardless of who is absent from Pelicans, Denver has better everything. Sorry, I know it hurts, but yes!!! Lol.. Joker is reigning 2x MVP, and that is not free or any G league excuses. And Pels have won plenty without their Big Man Zion just like Nuggs have won without Joker. Both teams have some hot players who can bring the competition.

  2. At this point, it's abnormal for Jokic to not get a triple-double every night. He's just that good, and he'll win his third straight MVP award. 🃏💪

  3. Jokic now averaging a triple double for the season as a Center is beyond incredible and historical!! If everybody stays healthy during playoffs, Denver might be able to make some noise.. I would only be worried about (fully healthy) Warriors and Clippers.

  4. Nuggets threes is better tonight. But they need to be a-lot better for the Nuggets to go deep into the playoffs.

  5. Nuggets at full strength are amazing to say the least. If we healthy I put us against anybody and if we got home field oh man they're in for an ass whooping.

  6. If Denver is going to trade anybody to improve the team, they can move Porter Jr. for a better wing defender and someone more active all around.
    Not sure why they would trade Hyland. He's similar to Jordan Poole in his offensive skills and just needs some time to develop his all around game. Braun is a good defender but doesn't seem like much of a scoring threat.
    Denver would have been better off drafting Walker Kessler, a backup center for Jokic, who's an excellent defender. Utah got him after Denver's pick as part of the Gobert trade and he's replacing Rudy just fine.

  7. 26 points 18 rebounds and 15 assists.
    But he's not as good as Embiid cause… I forget, I'm pretty sure they said Embiid is better cause he hit that one step back three, averaging a triple double on 62% from the field means nothing if the other guy hits a step back three once.

  8. These Pelicans are a complete JOKE why do they waste there time playing in the NBA they are not even close to a half ass high school teamsthey should just '''GO WASH DISHES LOSERS'''……………………………

  9. Nuggets are best team after Grizzlies. Jokic might not reach at the level of Ja Morant but he's definitely in top 15 in the west.

  10. Jokic is averaging a triple double. Just wanna throw that in there. On top of having the best record in the west. Smh. And y'all saying he don't deserve another mvp. Lol.🃏

  11. Crazy how a month could affect one teams season..Pelicans out here clinging to life support when they were just at the top of the west a month ago..injuries be hitting hard 😬

  12. Great game by Murray and Jokic. Great fight by this Pelicans team without Zion. You can see why they were a problem in the playoffs last year.

  13. I'm a Memphis fan, but i have to say, We are not getting by The Nuggets! But , If Danny Green lights it up, and The rest of the team finds a way to weave him into the game in this last stretch after the all star break. I will truly be amazed. Plus i wonder if the Grizz bring one more player before the trade deadline, and don't mess up what they have. It's gonna be an NBA SHOW!

  14. I honestly feel like Jokic isn’t pressured enough to win a championship. I seen how the media clowned on Giannis when he came up and said he would never win. Statistical fans go crazy over Jokic numbers but will he ever win the big one. I don’t think think anyone in the west can beat a healthy Warrior or Clippers team in a 7 game series. If Jokic wins 3 MVPs in a row like the great Larry Bird and no championships to show for any of it, he will pass Steve Nash as the worst multi MVP in NBA history and the award will definitely lose value
