What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Denver Nuggets @nuggets
MPJ and Joker on double-double watch in the first half 👀
Mike: 11 PTS / 7 REB
Joker: 9 PTS / 7 REB – 4:16 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Big 1st half for Michael Porter Jr. in OKC: Already up to 11 points and 7 rebounds, and Michael Malone has given him extra minutes alongside Denver’s second unit. Porter’s also moving better than he did in the Nuggets’ first two games. – 4:14 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Cason Wallace is now 5-for-5 in the regular season on catch and shoot jumpers. Counting the preseason, he is 6-for-9. – 4:14 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
Cason Wallace is 5-of-5 from three in his NBA career. That’ll play. – 4:13 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
Me all last year: put Porter in the game with Murray and the bench
Today: Wow look – Murray and MPJ look great out there with the bench
I love it when a plan comes together. – 4:13 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Jalen Williams comes 100 mph toward the rim as the Nuggets gear up for his drive he spins out a pass to the corner to a wide open Cason Wallace who splashes the corner catch and shoot three. Sheesh. – 4:11 PM
Jon Hamm @JonMHamm
Cason Wallace just gonna refuse to miss a 3 I guess – 4:11 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Jalen Williams just somehow muscled his way through bumper to bumper traffic and finished for an and-one. That offseason work is shining through. – 4:11 PM
Duvalier Johnson @DuvalierJohnson
“Zeke Nnaji recorded his first rebound on the season, sir” pic.twitter.com/svWLiVBmjJ4:10 PM

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Great ball movement finds a wide-open Ousmane Dieng three. It did not go in but he shot it with no hesitation which has been a welcomed improvement this season. – 4:09 PM
Denver Nuggets @nuggets
Another day another Swatson block pic.twitter.com/mC55bOJXMF4:09 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Lineup to begin the 2nd quarter:
Murray
CB
MPJ
P-Wat
Zeke
Hell yeah – 4:08 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Damn Shai with an 0/8 FGs first quarter vs Nuggets – 4:07 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Vasilije Micic to start the second quarter.
Vasilije Micic
Cason Wallace
Isaiah Joe
Jalen Williams
Ousmane Dieng – 4:07 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Jamal Murray with 5 assists in 8 first quarter minutes. Assisted Reggie on that last three-pointer.
Murray’s passing: a leap has been made. – 4:06 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Nikola Jokic’s 1st quarter vs. Thunder: 9 points (4-6 FGs), 7 rebounds, 4 assists, +9 – 4:05 PM

Giddey – 6 points, 3 rebounds
Jokic – 9 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists
MPJ – 9 points, 5 rebounds – 4:04 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
SGA is 0/6 to start the game. That’s a gift for Denver. – 4:03 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Cason Wallace with an outstanding block, smothering a jump shot. He is really good. He just forced a dribble pick up of Braun the following possession. – 4:03 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Nikola Jokic’s 1st quarter vs. Thunder: 9 points (4-6 FGs), 7 rebounds, 3 assists, +9 – 4:03 PM
Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Christian Braun bite on a pump fake from a non shooter. – 4:02 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is taking a lot of contact this season with not many trips to the line. On that last baseline jumper, he did not get up in time to get back on defense, so he asked a few questions of the ref on the other side of the floor. – 4:01 PM
Duvalier Johnson @DuvalierJohnson
Thunder said,”this build ain’t working on guarding Jokic, let’s put Poku on him to try and slow him down.” – 3:59 PM
Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
Electric energy 🔋
Lu gets the steal and the AND1 pic.twitter.com/nPr2TSNvEB3:59 PM

Clemente Almanza @CAlmanza1007
Poku checks in for the Thunder – 3:57 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Pace of Nuggets-Thunder is pretty fast. Both teams getting up and down and trying to attack in semi-transition.
Joker and MPJ each have 9 points. The touch on the shots inside the arc has been great for both.
Holmgren with 9 points on the other end. He’s super skilled. – 3:57 PM
Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
KCP and Jokic have been running more PnR and DHO action than last year through the first 2 games of the season.
The turnover on that last possession was a chemistry turnover. KCP thought roll, Jokic thought pop. – 3:56 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
When Chet Holmgren gets asked on an NBA podcast in 10 years what his welcome to the NBA moment was, he’ll say this game against Nikola Jokic. – 3:56 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Lu Dort just got a steal and was under control barreling toward to the rim and finished for an and-one heading into the timeout. He has looked better at the ring this season (small sample size). 25-17, Denver. – 3:55 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Nuggets are just a ridiculously good basketball team ….. – 3:55 PM
Jon Hamm @JonMHamm
OKC fans are still booing Reggie Jackson btw – 3:55 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Our first Paycom Center lob from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to Chet Holmgren for an easy lay up – 3:54 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Feels like Chet Holmgren is in the right position more often than not, but Jokic has 9 points. There just is little you can do with someone as good as Jokic. Do everything right and he still scores. – 3:54 PM
Clemente Almanza @CAlmanza1007
Reggie Jackson still gets loud boos here all these years later lol – 3:53 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
This Chet/Joker matchup is awesome to watch. The evolution of the center position on full display. – 3:51 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
1. Chet is really good. Gonna be a star.
2. He is exactly half as wide as Jokic. – 3:49 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has a couple quick fouls with 7:41 to go in the frame. Mark Daigneault has typically let players play, but it would be interesting at this juncture in the game to just reverse his rotation. I don’t expect OKC to do that though. – 3:48 PM
Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
Chet vs Jokic is great so far. pic.twitter.com/kbToPHoslN3:47 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Aaron Gordon has turned into a special player – 3:47 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Chet Holmgren crossover into the lane past Jokic, the low gather avoids the Jokic swipe, easy lay up. He has all 7 points for OKC. – 3:47 PM
Clemente Almanza @CAlmanza1007
SGA picks up his 2nd foul less than 5 minutes into the game – 3:47 PM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Chet Holmgren has OKC’s first 7 points.
3.
Midrange.
Dunk. – 3:46 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Chet Holmgren crossover isnt the lane past Jokic, the low gather avoids the Jokic swipe, easy lay up. He has all 7 points for OKC. – 3:45 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
I’ve been saying this for at least three years but Chet Holmgren is the closest thing I’ve seen to Kevin Garnett – 3:44 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
The Nuggets blitzed Giddey off the pick and roll and took away a great roll from Chet, Giddey somehow gets a lane to toss SGA a clean catch-and-shoot look. Did not go down, but interested to see how aggressive DEN will be in the PNR – 3:44 PM
Duvalier Johnson @DuvalierJohnson
Buckle up. .
Jokic and Chet just MIGHT score 50+ today against eachother. – 3:44 PM
Nick DePaula @NickDePaula

Pretty post move on Jokic by Chet Holmgren a little shake and bake as he is on a personal 5-0 run. – 3:43 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Chet Holmgren lets the fans sit with a huge triple. – 3:42 PM

Nikola Jokic wins the tip and scores the first bucket in Oklahoma City off a Jamal Murray assist. – 3:42 PM

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
I asked Mark Daigneault about defending Nikola Jokic and he mentioned “it’s about limiting” Jokic, not taking him away. – 1:58 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Mark Daigneault on the Nuggets “I have great admiration for the way [Denver] has done it. This team, I think they got swept the year before, their relationship with adversity, they have had a lot of ups and downs…They have allowed that to pull them together.” – 1:55 PM

3 more stats for you ahead of today’s Nuggets-Thunder game at 1:30pm MT:
3.5 – Chet Holmgren’s blocks per game, currently leads the NBA.
35.7 – SGA’s PER thru 2 games. He’s been ludicrously good.
39.2 – Christian Braun’s TS% thru 2 games. Still looking for his rhythm early on. – 12:39 PM

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
We knew the West was going to be brutal and just six days into the regular season, there will only be three teams left without a loss. #Pelicans, Mavs, Nuggets and Thunder are unbeaten at 2-0, but Denver plays OKC today at 2:30 CT – 11:23 AM
Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
I’m ready for the OKC hype to get really loud if they beat Denver today. Shai putting up 30, five guys averaging double-figures and Chet coming off a seven-block game against Cleveland. Lets see what they can do with Jokic and Co. – 11:17 AM
Aaron Rose @AaronBenRose
Fun Fact: There are already only six players averaging 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists through essentially two games.
Luka. Shai. Embiid. Jokic. LeBron…. and Scottie Barnes – 11:15 AM
