Nuggets on the B2B, nice chance for revenge after the earlier drubbing. Must win game.

Mavs need to beat a good team.  Good shooting will make it happen.

In the last seasons: Spurs are always easy for match for us. Nuggets are always always difficult.

I predict a change tonight however. I think we will win. Maybe if we use KP the same way, something great will come out of that. And because I think this mobile athletic KP that is back, could hold the rim safe from the Joker. At least in relative terms.

Let's see. I think it comes down to KP and the way we use him. Otherwise, Denver is more talented, no doubt.

maybe Denver will be thrown off by the abundance of oxygen

It sure would be nice to have Maxi back for this one, as we'll need to ramp up the defense vs the Nuggets.

Yep. Time to win one against a good team.

rough second quarter for the Mavs after a hot shooting first.  They just get in a rut at times on offense.  I thought Denver's defense was better in the second.  It can get ugly when the Mavs are not hitting their shots.  Bullock, Hardaway, and Brown provided very little offense.    A little sloppy too by the Mavs.   Rough end to the quarter as well.  

Tough Denver team.  Jokic is one of the top 3 players in the league.  Every time he touches the ball, Denver is going to get a good shot.

Jokic is one of the top 3 players in the league.

100%.....but I think you are being too conservative. I think he is #1 honestly.

[Kammrath]

Hot shooting night from KP is really nice.

Frankie N is just a winning player

What a fun game.  Hooting and hollering for most of the last 20 minutes.

[fifteenth]

very nice

[dirkfansince1998]

Ended in the worst possible way.

Great win.  That is a good Denver team though.  Coming off a back to back and short handed were just a little too much though.

The small ball lineup to start the fourth really got things going.  I wonder if we will see that more...especially when Maxi is back.  Maybe Maxi in for someone to play small ball five.  The pace was fast and really got the Mavs going.    

My Dirkie goes to KP.  Wasn't as good as Jokic but  was at least in the same ballpark.

Disappointed that there is not a KP apology thread yet...

Oh, it's ok. Besides, KP is apologizing with his play.

Plus, I don't think KP posts here

How many of us do you think need to make an apology to KP?
