    Dame can’t hit a shot but is absolutely dicing the Nuggets up.

    I think they, as a team, have finally gotten comfortable with what DJJ can do offensively, and are finding him and utilizing him more.

    His shot hasn't been there, and some weird TOs to start the game, but 10 assists in 19 minutes is pretty good. He's still impacting the game.

    It concerns me that Dame can't get anything to fall but he is dropping those dimes like it's an All State commercial.

    Players are moving and Dame is hitting them in scoring positions. Dame don't have to score all the time and this showing that other players can help in that department. Jones and Trent having good offense games right now.

    If we got 14 points on 8 attempts out of DJJ every night, that would be HUGE!

    When he goes for the layup, you're right but his second jump is so explosive that he often gets the tip in.

    Early prediction:

    Portland is up 4 and thinks that Denver will roll over.

    Denver won't and will go on a quick run to take back the lead.

    If Murray is banged up, so much the better.

    I think the last part is a safe bet. Not sure about us thinking they'll roll over.
