    Nurkic vs Jokic is going to be a grand match-up!

    This monumental game will feature a lot of drama:
    The battle for the 8th seed.
    Plumlee vs his former team.
    Nurkic vs his former team.

    This is must-see TV!

    Nurkic look like a good guy and Jokic like a Vilain in those pictures

    ...I am most thankful that big Nurk will have had ample time to rest and get his legs back -- a fresh Nurk is a beastin' Nurk!

    This game is worth double points, bring on the Nurk fever.

    Although Jokic is not a favourable matchup for Nurk, I actually think you'll see a fair bit of Vonleh on Jokic.

    Not one game jumps out at me as more pivotal. I just feel like even if we were to drop this game we still have a good shot at making the playoffs. There had to have been a game a few years back involving home court that had to be at least as big as this one in their perspective moments, right?

    I hope the crowd is aware of the situation and gets behind Nurk loud and early. I'd love to see Nurk humiliate Jokic in this matchup. I'd expect nothing less from the rip city faithful.

    I really, really wanted to go to this game. But I get out of work right at 7 PM and I'm going to be exhausted anyway (I close tomorrow night then get my ass up early as hell to do a full shift the next day)... but I will sit my ass at home and watch the game. Excited.

    And I look forward to this crowd giving Plumlee his much, much deserved applause when he checks in. I know I'd be giving him a standing O like when Wes came back.

    Denver fans will be so salty if they lose this and Nurk does well.
