Halftime rotations as the Nuggets are down 58-52.
Bol should play over Facu in the second half. It’s not his fault, but it has to happen. Denver’s mechanisms are better when three guards play, not four. pic.twitter.com/HPg2uwwLgz – 10:11 PM

Nuggets others have NOT been good. Pretty shocking that they’re still in this game.
At the half, Jokic has 27 points, Barton has 15 points. Combined that’s 42 points.
Denver trails 58-52 points.
If you’re Coach Malone, what’s your message to the team? – 10:05 PM

Sixers lead Denver 58-52 at half despite an absolute haymaker from Nikola Jokic: 27 points on 12 friggin shots. Drummond made a few mistakes, but a lot of “nothing you can do about it.”
Sixers were good offensively. Shot 7-17 from deep but the quality of those looks was high. – 10:04 PM

Sixers 58, Nuggets 52 at the half. Jokic and the Nuggets’ 3-point shooting trimmed a 17-point Philly lead to single digits, but some key shot-making by Curry kept the Sixers in front. Jokic has 27-6-5. Maxey with 13, Curry 12 and Bassey as the unsung hero in that second quarter. – 10:03 PM

MVP ballot this season is gonna be impossible if the early results keep up. Jokic won MVP last year and has arguably been better this season. Curry is a 2-time MVP having as dominant a season as ever leading the West’s best. And Durant is having maybe the best year of his career. – 10:02 PM

Interesting nugget that came via pre-game press conferences today. Doc Rivers said Sam Cassell was actually the first one to suggest Austin Rivers might be a good fit in Denver. Doc relayed the message to Michael Malone.

Keys to the game
Nuggets vs Sixers
🔑 defend from deep – they shoot 39% from 3 on the road
🔑 push the pace – they give up 16 fast break ppg
🔑 respect the opponent – down 7 players. Don’t take them lightly.

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Barton’s active which means he will probably start.
Interesting to see whether they go three guards (Monte, Rivers, Barton) or if they keep Jeff Green in there.
I’d wager the former. – 8:04 PM

When Doc Rivers was asked about spending some time with Austin Rivers while in town, he said “yeah, a free meal.”
Said the conversation naturally goes to basketball. He talked about spending time with the grandkids too. – 7:36 PM

Malone says he texted Bol Bol after the Dallas loss — Bol’s first rotation minutes of the season: “I told him how proud I was of how he played.”
“He played hard. He did what we asked him to do, and he had an impact on the game.” – 7:33 PM

I don’t know why I find this so interesting, but Doc Rivers will coach against his son, Austin Rivers tonight. He also coaches Seth Curry on the Sixers who is married to his daughter/Austin’s sister Callie Rivers.
A lot of family ties on the court tonight. – 7:31 PM
