Denver just has too many solid players.

Good game guys.  Y'all battled well.  Just not enough quality players to match what they have.

While this is true, just like Trae won the game in Denver, Jokic won the game in Atlanta

There is nothing quite about you

It wasn’t enough for me to call you a retard... You just had to confirm it.

I bet you sat in the back of the short yellow bus as a child.

2020 has been good so far, competitive in the games - win or not - trending in the right direction with the young guys.

We see the expectations of the Trae, Kevin, John Trio.

On flip side of things I don’t recall any game when Trae and Huerter both go off from 3!

this is the first game I recall that we can rightfully say “splash bros 2.0”....that was awesome to watch 

[NBASupes]

I was pretty happy with the troops tonight. Outside of a few miscues, they played as mistake free as they could considering how intense this game was. For a young team, finishing games will be extremely hard but the effort was there and the execution was much better than expected.

Hopefully we start seeing that on the regular. but please Trae a little more effort on D! take a page from Goodwin

I actually thought Trae had one of his best games. And Kevin had his best game of the year. We just had no answer for the joker.

[NBASupes]

Gotta give props to John, Cam, and Vince on the defensive end.

Offensively, props to Len, Trae, and Kevin.

I was happy with the game. Sadly, we couldn't pull it off. Execution is still something we are working on.

@Sothron knew he’d be either way tonight! Damnit!

We shouldn't have made fun of his weight. He was out for blood tonight.

If anyone doubts we need a real center after tonight then I don't know what to say.

How’d you like that Cam flush on the baseline off the Trae feed Supes? Hopefully a sign of more to come.

[Buzzard]

Oh well, the Hawks really need Drummond. I don't mind giving up the threes to Joker, but I do have a problem when he just owns the paint.

Go to my trades section on Jokic. I called out kg just to put the blame on him.

Damn that was a quiet 28 from Barton.

The people’s champ never disappoints. Every team needs a thrill.

Lol but in all seriousness I thought Len got moved too easily on those post ups when Jokic 3 ball stopped.

i definitely agree we NEED a better center but len should be able to do better then that. I understand jokic is extremely talented but he kinda was left open on 3s then muscled damn near everything in around the goal

CLP calling out the refs. 

[Buzzard]

This was a balanced game by all four NBA level starters. Slip Drummond in there and its a win all day.

Jokers elbows do fly around a lot to create space and wrap around. Its the oldest double standard in the game. The offensive player can flail towards you; but the defensive player cannot.
