    There was a possession against Denver where we had a double team on Aaron Gordon, with Eubanks fronting Gordon.
    Jokic was trying to pass to Gordon and I didn't see how that could happen, but then Eubanks vanished from the play. I don't know where he went.
    Jokic made the pass and Gordon scored.
    Maybe Eubanks had too much energy to stay where he was supposed to be.

    He came to help against Jokic, leaving Gordon open.

    He’s the most efficient 30+ ft 3 point shooter in NBA history.

    As usual, Nurk is the key. Comes out of half playing hard and it’s 11-3 us.

    He's streaky though. A star should be consistent.

    Fine. If you want Dame who is now 2-10 jacking up 35'ers when Grant (who is now 8-10) is on a ridiculous heater, then we have a different idea of how winning basketball should be played.

    No worries....will just agree to disagree.

    Gotta give Nurk credit. He came out playing hard!

    It's nice that we have the lead right now despite Dame being ice cold.

    I'll have whatever Nurk was having...
    What a quarter so far...
    Pure speculation but I think Nurk thrives with positive feedback and lots of it.

    Team shooting over 60% so far w/o Dame. Nice to see them picking him up. He carries them on plenty of nights.
