Watch both CB and Vlatko on closeouts/pump-fakes. They rarely bite. If the second unit’s identity becomes scrappy, physical defense coupled with an occasional Bones bomb, that’s gonna work. – 9:50 PM

I don’t know how #Celtics can alter their dependency on jump shooting on nights like these. Brown and Tatum can, as we’ve seen tonight, but others like White/Rob (4 2PA) are either underutilized in offense roles inside arc, or dependent on 3PT shooting (Grant/Al/even Brogdon). – 9:42 PM

Seems like Boston has let the poor shooting impact their defense again.
They aren’t getting back and getting matched up after a miss and the closeouts have been lazy and bad. That’s a brutal combo. – 9:40 PM

It just feels like Jokic as solved the game of basketball. Nothing looks particularly difficult or challenging. So long as his teammates do what they need to do, Jokic already knows what it takes to beat anyone and everyone.
This feels like hyperbole as I type it, but is it? – 8:53 PM

Nuggets carrying in a five-game losing streak to the Celtics tonight.
They will be looking to break that streak without Jamal Murray, who is out on the first night of a back-to-back.
Nuggets vs Celtics should tip off in just about 10 minutes. – 7:55 PM

With Robert Williams coming off the bench tonight, it feels like a good night to get Nnaji some minutes and hopefully pull Williams away from the paint. – 7:52 PM

If Nuggets-Celtics is close to start the 4Q here’s what I’m watching: Boston’s starters vs. Denver’s bench. Jimmy Butler just made easy work of the Nuggets’ bench p&r defense, and Celtics played starters (Tatum, Smart, Horford) vs. Nuggets’ bench to open the 4Q earlier this year. pic.twitter.com/bkx7mCO5Hk – 6:38 PM

Jamal Murray remains questionable, though I suspect he won’t play. – 6:33 PM

As a second-year guard, Bones Hyland has more responsibility than most sophomores in the NBA. When he’s on, it not only galvanizes the second unit, but maybe more importantly, it buys the starters invaluable time to rest.
“I ignite that spark,” he said.

Very curious how Denver handles MPJ on defense against the Celtics.
Does he take on one of Tatum/Brown? That’s a lot of risk & a big challenge.
Does he have Derrick White as his matchup? Even if Denver tries to hide Porter on him, White will become a screener to force switches. – 5:56 PM
