“Jusuf, stick out your hand.” Jusuf Nurkic looked over to see Tim Duncan addressing him. He was a bit surprised that an NBA legend was talking to him so directly during the pregame shootaround, but tried not to show it. “Why?” “Just do it. You’ll see,” Tim Duncan said firmly, his characteristic wide-eyed stare making…

Read MoreAxel Toupane 14 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2016)
The Nuggets’ season is far enough down the tubes that they allowed Danilo Gallinari to lend his commentating expertise to the broadcast last night. If the game actually meant something for either team, they probably wouldn’t have done that, but both the Kings and Nuggets are playing for fun at this point, so why not…

You know how hard is to do Jusuf Nurkic highlights when you know for a FACT that there is a god-damn SPIDER in the vicinity of your workstation? I’ll tell you folks with all honesty: it’s frickin’ hard. Like, one second he (do spiders even have genders god they’re so creepy) is just chilling out…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/25/2016)
There’s something about the “air” in Denver that transforms average foreign centers into production powerhouses. Nene, Petro (lol kidding on that one the rest are legit for real), Koufos, Mozgov, Vesely (lol got you again), Nurkic, and Jokic. There’s just something different about Denver, a culture, if you will, that encourages people to bring the…

Read MoreWill Barton 27 Points Full Highlights (3/21/2016)
It seems almost quaint, now, looking back on it. How could we have ever thought that Will Barton’s blazing start to the season was in any way sustainable? I think we knew, deep down, that his jumper was still borked and his play was too inconsistent. In our heart of hearts, we fully realized that…
Read MoreD.J. Augustin 24 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2016)
D.J. Augustin vs. Emmanuel Mudiay: who is officially better? Shooting: At this point in his career, Mudiay cannot shoot. Period. Point blank. At all. Augustin, while maybe not a “shooter”, can shoot pretty well. Advantage: Augustin Passing: Mudiay is a willing passer. Perhaps too willing, as his turnover numbers suggest. Augustin can pass sometimes but…

The Nuggets’ season has been over for a while now. Jokic and Nurkic have already gotten their chances to be shown off in the offense. Is it not Lauvergne’s turn now? I mean, he got thirty minutes, which makes it look like they were showing him off, but he only took eight shots, which means…
