    They've yet to beat us in the MDA era.

    Terrible matchup for them. Jokic gets Kantar'd. He only played 90 seconds in the 4th Q, today.

    Or since they tweeted a figure of broom after they swept us in the regular season match up back in 2015...

    Scratch my head. Can their wins be traferred to us? How the heck everybody is saying Denver is their sleeper in this year WCF. We are down by two starters and still blew them out.

    Yeah Jokic is a terrific player but he just can't keep up running around and after Capela and James, if he plays a series against us he ends up looking like Zhou Qi. I guess they're the team we want to get in the conference finals :D and i can actually see them knocking out OKC...

    something needs to be done. 9-0 is unacceptable.

    They don't have a superstar. Jokic counts as a star who has not been to the Allstar Games yet.

    Also MDA and Bzdelik were Denver coaches, they know their way around even if that Denver team is revamped.

    Nene was a Nugget for a very long time.

    Onto Giannis!

    It seems like we somehow own them, and this thread confirms.
