    I'd be stunned if we won this game. But nothing surprises me anymore after the what the fuck 3 games we just had.

    Nurkic always has big games against Jokic.

    well, last season he averaged 7 points and 7 rebound in 24 minutes over 3 games....only 40% on FG's and a terrible 45% TS mark. It was his worst points/rebound mark against any team. He was better in 2 games against Denver the year before but was still below his averages

    I think Jokic has Nurk's number

    I don't know if we will win this one but if we do it will make a statement. I just don't know what we'll do with Joker if Nurk gets into foul trouble.

    Jokic is better than every center in the NBA.

    yeah...I did say...in a specific reply to a post claiming Nurkic has big games against Jokic. You know...context. I didn't just pull Jokic's name out of nowhere and I didn't just make some random post for no reason comparing Nurk to Jokic. Did you see that?

    So change your name to something like Bones Hyland. You don't need a genie to change your name.

    Also if you tell the genie you want your name to be "Something like Bones Hyland" it might go badly. Most genies are assholes acting like they don't understand what you meant.

    Nuggets have been hot or cold so far.

    I agree this will probably be our toughest win to get so far, might be the biggest game/must win game so far as well.
