    Pondering his 'halftime speech'.

    "We just gotta' make shots."

    Good finish to the half!

    We’ve got to keep this energy up! I like the hustle I’m seeing from Nurk and Norm. We just need to hit a few more shots (CJ, Melo).

    Decent ending. Nothing more, nothing less. Only down by 5 despite CJ, Melo, and Kanter.

    Well we down 5 I guess we can say we are lucky just down that's much. Dame another big half and CJ put up a lot shot's to get his. Nurk and Powell better game. The bench is a no show.

    four times Nurk played too far off Jokic when Jokic was behind the three point line. Two times Jokic hit threes, two times he had room to drive past. It's frustrating. Nurkic needs to be up on his toes and focused every minute.

    All our starters are around 20 minutes. Denver’s starters are around 17.

    Hey terry, there are other guys on the bench that won’t hemorrhage points.
