    Portland’s 12 wins in March are its most this month since winning 15 games in March 1999.

    Yeah I know this is just one game and it was in Portland, but I almost think I like Nurk better. Jokic probably has more skills, but the fact that Nurk is bigger and more physical underneath, makes me like him better for our team.

    He's obviously extremely skilled, especially for a guy his size. However, I'm not sure it translates into as big of an effect on winning as a guy like Nurkic. Nurk anchors the paint on both ends. He makes our defense and rebounding better, and he's a threat to get easy baskets on offense if you don't pay close attention to him.

    Jokic seems to want to play like a 7 foot guard. He makes a lot of slick plays and piles up stats, but his defense is atrocious and he gives no real paint presence. We see now how vital that is to have.

    Great game. Denver seems to get the most out of their talent.

    Man, I've said this before, but CJ really needs to be our closer.

    I'll keep saying it, if your centers biggest strength is passing, congratulations, he's not a center.

    Just kidding. But yeah.

    Meyer's couldn't sniff Jokic's crotch even if he reached his proverbial ceiling.
