Game 03 : Denver Nuggets (2-0) @ Oklahoma City Thunder (2-0)

2023: Denver is healthy = Denver should win

It is not the end of the world if we lose some games like this vs talented young teams, especially on the road. But the bigger picture is to defend the title this season and home-court advantage will be a gold treasure in the eventual PO series vs teams like the Suns, Bucks, C's... So, it's better we win this...

Nuggets regular season trademark win with double-digit lead already after 1st quarter. The most impressive for me this season is how we shut down D.Bane and SGA in 1st half and A.Davis in the 2nd, which are opponents most dangerous offensive weapons.

I hoped our bench would be decent before PO starts but in the opening 3 games (still a small sample) they look already great with Watson's breakthrough and Jackson being useful again.

Strong game, on the road, but they still made it look easy

That was a beating and a surprise. Didn't think the Nuggets would play that hard in a road game.

Strawthe found his first basket. finishing with 8 points. MPJ looked great, finishing with 20 points and 9 rebounds. Jokic with 28 points and 14 rebounds. Watson with 17 points.

Overall the bench looked solid.

i think this was one of the best games we had against OKC in last few years, I think we kinda always had hard time against them because they played with more energy than we did, even when we won I dont remember much blowouts..
