    Nuggets in real danger of missing the playoffs. Can't lose by double digits to the Mavs with Cleveland waiting in DEN to play the night after. I love Jokic, but he has no killer instinct. And Millsap returning has them in a daze of sorts.

    bad timing.

    Jokic was pulled out of the lineup last night and I don’t think he played at all during the 4th, coaches decision. I’ve probably watched 20 Nuggets games this year and in about half of them his defense was so bad he was a net negative for the game even when he was having a good game offensively. He’s just so soft.

    I think Utah will comfortably end up with a better record than Denver. They have a really kind schedule and I see them getting to 45-46 wins.

    He's Not only Soft, He's also extremely slow and has no rim protection

    Is there something going on in Denver? A team fighting for playoff seeding benched their best player in Jokic on a close game last night.

    Maybe just a matchup thing? I mean, Stotts does the same with Nurkic.

    Who are we rooting for in Utah game tonight? It helps us making playoffs if Utah loses but I like the idea of Utah making it and OKC or Minnesota or SA missing the playoffs. I like Indiana though.

    I have put my hatred for Utah behind me for a while. They lost Gordon Hayward and we know how that feels.

    Because it improves our playoff odds:
    IND over UTA
    SAC over NOP
    CLE over DEN

    Because we hate the Lakers and Rockets:
    ORL over LAL
    MIL over HOU
