    I think everyone else not ready until Wed, so I expect us to play well early than fade - for an 0-2 start.

    Didn't Jokic have trouble guarding Capela, when Capela was here?

    Jokic v Wood is going to be fun.

    This is what sucks with how we started the season. We really needed to start the season strong to have good chance at being top seed in the west and convince Harden to stay. Instead, here we are with key pieces missing and potentially be 0-2 down. Nuggets are already 0-2 so they will come out strong and we will once again be climbing uphill battle..sigh. Despite this, I am hoping for good effort, defense and chemistry improvements amongst the group but we will likely lose. I hope I am wrong.

    We're going to field the same 9 players, right? The Covid Rockets aren't clear for Monday night, yet?

    Brodrick and Bruno breakout game .

    Silas knows it’s a marathon . I doubt we concentrate minutes like we did vs portland again .

    in the air , Denver ...

    not looking forward to this one . Let’s just make it through in one piece .

    maybe we are crazy hot and Denver can’t buy a shot . But outside of that I’m expecting a blowout .

    not that I don’t like our team . But how hard do we fight for this one ?

    how long can nwaba go ?

    brown May have to step up too . Killer B breakout game inc .

    Thomas goes for 10 and 5
    Bruno for 15 and 10
    Brown for 15 and 5 steals .

    then we might win

    Short handed, early season with no legs coming off a late overtime game. Playing at altitude. Scheduled loss. Anything better than a 20 point blowout is a good result!

    Let's hope we have more healthy/ available bodies for the new years homestand against the Kings!

    Another loss. Nuggets are 0-2 and will be desperate to not go 0-3.

    Jokic probably thought he was safe and the nightmare was finally over once we got rid of Capela...well, we got C-Wood now so it’s back to his regularly scheduled program of getting used and abused by Harden and his PnR partner

    Wood about to have Jokic calling him daddy

    It could get close, Denver hasn't been shooting well too.

    All those contenders that are 1-1 or 0-2 haven't been shooting well enough.

    Either that or a blowout.
