Jamal Murray 26 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2018)

Okay. This “Blue Arrow” nickname for Jamal Murray just isn’t working out. I don’t care if he likes it or not. The Nuggets don’t wear blue normally, for one thing. That’s the first problem. The other problem is that it doesn’t make sense. “Arrow”? If anything, he’s the bow, and the basketball is the arrow….

Nikola Jokic Triple Double 23 Pts/12 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (3/15/2018)

Adam Silver was in attendance tonight, doing his usual Q&A sesh with the home commentators. He got to see up close the phenom known as Nikola Jokic. He got to see a “triple-double”. I put that in quotes because I really have to take issue with some of the assists. It’s fine, when the comissioner…

Wilson Chandler 26 Points Full Highlights (3/13/2018)

Does anybody else get creeped out by the tattoo of a baby’s face that Wilson Chandler has on his neck? I get that it’s probably his daughter or son or maybe even just his own one-year-old likeness, but it looks creepy when it’s peeking out the neck of his jersey like that. Like a horror…

Nikola Jokic Triple Double 20 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (3/11/2018)

This game had the feel of a “vintage” Nikola Jokic performance to me. The ratio of incredible highlight plays to pedestrian plays has been lower this year for him, which isn’t necessarily bad (no one remembers all those turnovers he had last year because he got too fancy), but it makes his highlights somewhat less…

Nikola Jokic 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/9/2018)

Playoff probabilities are hard. There are probably smart people somewhere on earth who know what’s going on at the bottom of the Western Conference playoff race, but I am not smart, so I am not on of those people. This whole thing is just way too confusing for me. I’m going to assume that this…

Nikola Jokic 36 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/7/2018)

After games where he scored nine, nine, and five points, pretty much every Nikola Jokic fan in the universe was pleading to their TVs/phones/wives/internet-forum-based support groups for Jokic to be more aggressive scoring-wise. Coaching and teammates (read: Paul Millsap) can shoulder some of the blame for Jokic’s low scoring output in the last three games,…

Gary Harris 32 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2018)

Gary Harris does it again. He hit a clutch lead-extending jumper against the Grizzlies last game, and now he hits a clutch lead-extending jumper against the Cavaliers. It’s time to say what everyone is thinking: he is clutch. He is the Nuggets’ go-to guy when things get close and Will Barton wants to shoot the…

Will Barton 24 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2018)

How many points per game could Will Barton average if he was given his own team? Twenty? Twenty-two? Twenty-five, even? I get the feeling that he doesn’t take as many shots as he wishes he got to take. He’s a good teammate who understands that his better teammates should take more shots, so he doesn’t…

Gary Harris 26 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2018)

Look at how happy Gary Harris is. Don’t you wish you could be that happy? Sadly, such happiness is forever out of your reach, because Gary Harris is that happy because he is the leading scorer on the Nuggets this year. You will never be the leading scorer on the Nuggets, not even you dropped…

Gary Harris 23 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2018)

Gary Harris was relatively clutch (if you ignore the fact that “clutchness” doesn’t exist as a long-term attribute) at the end of this game, hitting a three-pointer to leave the Nuggets down by one with fourteen seconds left. If this isn’t evidence that he should be shooting twenty shots per game in his quest to…
