What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Duvalier Johnson @DuvalierJohnson
The Warriors went on a big run and showed how dominant they could be when things are clicking.
The Nuggets then answered with an even bigger run of their own and put down their best quarter of the preseason.
Quite the tune-up game before the season begins. – 12:07 AM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Nuggets just outscored the Warriors 42-20 in the 3rd quarter. Best 12 minutes of the preseason right there. – 12:06 AM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
That layup was so swaggy Bones. Great stuff. – 12:03 AM
Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
Bruce Brown’s fit with the starters gives me confidence that the Nuggets will be able to load manage Murray during the first half of the regular season without dropping much in the standings. – 12:02 AM
Denver Nuggets @nuggets
Bones is a certified bucket getter – 12:02 AM
Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
That was an impressive game for Michael Porter Jr. Patient on offense all night. And the shotmaking remains absolutely absurd. – 11:59 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
The Ish Smith/Bones Hyland backcourt is producing again. – 11:59 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
Glad to see Bones and Ish out there together. That duo is gonna get some run against smaller back courts, just slicing and dicing. – 11:58 PM
Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
Nuggets withstood a big Warriors run to end the half and have retaken the lead. Lots to be encouraged about with the Nuggets over these last 2 preseason games. – 11:50 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Michael Porter Jr. became an even better shooter this summer. Release looks quicker and somehow smoother. – 11:49 PM
Denver Nuggets @nuggets
MPJ is bringin’ it back from deep 🎯 pic.twitter.com/as9CejIGkr11:46 PM

Michael Singer @msinger
What we’re seeing is MPJ trusting the offense. They preach, ad nauseum, that if you give the ball up, it will find you again. Porter’s buying it. – 11:44 PM
Katy Winge @katywinge
All our NBA stats are down, but this I know.
Michael Porter Jr has made a lot of shots. – 11:43 PM
Kevin Pelton @kpelton
I’m amused by the fact that Bruce Brown Jr. (11) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (5) are wearing the same jersey numbers as the players they’re replacing in Denver. Glance up quickly and it’s like Monte Morris put on a headband (and Will Barton still has one). – 11:39 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Will Hardy said all signs point to Malik Beasley being available by opening night against the Denver Nuggets – 11:36 PM
Golden State Warriors @warriors
few in the history of the game

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
JaMychal Green is out tonight with a sore ankle. He was a late scratch. Opened up more first half frontcourt minutes for Wiseman/Kuminga, who played great. – 11:29 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
FINAL: Mavs 115, Jazz 101. Markkanen 21/10, Gay 16/6, Conley 7/4r/7a. Jazz shoot 6-26 from 3, commit 22 turnovers. Preseason is over. Regular season starts Wednesday at the Viv vs. Denver. – 11:25 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Alright, halftime rotations for the Nuggets. Pretty easy to track as they were almost all hockey subs.
I don’t have the numbers, but I’m pretty sure Jokić has exactly one paint touch tonight. He (and the rest of the starters) will probably sit the second half. pic.twitter.com/WzTlbNPmLv11:22 PM

Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
Kuminga looks like he is quickly becoming the most interesting version of himself given his skillset.
Warriors ability to take almost any type of player and mold them into their culture and style is one of the most impressive things about them. – 11:22 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Second half wish list:
– Zeke Nnaji plays
– Bones Hyland/Ish Smith minutes together on the second unit – 11:21 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Here’s the Steph Curry high screen double draw and drop off to Draymond Green, up top to Jonathan Kuminga in the Andre Iguodala dunker spot. New lob weapon, familiar look. pic.twitter.com/RBtB2ntHnK11:20 PM

Classic Warriors ball movement 🤩 pic.twitter.com/zWMwlTSXcS11:19 PM

Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
Denver did an excellent job of not giving Golden State any tape on the 2022-23 Jokic offense. They just didn’t run it.
Do I think that’s on purpose? Yes, yes I do. Because they’ll be back here in a game that matters next week. – 11:19 PM
Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
NBA stats aren’t working, so here are my made up halftime numbers based on feel:
-2 JK super dunks
-Klay 4-7 from three and a four point basket cuz he deserves it
-Wiseman 4-4 with 4 assists
-Steph 36 points cuz who can prove otherwise – 11:17 PM
Golden State Warriors @warriors
and he does it AGAIN
📺 @NBCSAuthentic pic.twitter.com/CET1gDbVXl11:16 PM

Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
So glad the refs in this game are trying to set a pre-season whistles-per-possession mark and making sure Denver doesn’t get too big for their britches. – 11:15 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
This second quarter film is not going to be kind to the #Nuggets in practice on Sunday. Defense unraveling. – 11:15 PM
Golden State Warriors @warriors
It’s Klay’s first preseason game
& he’s got SIX THREES
…. in the first half ☔11:15 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Like I said, Klay Thompson doesn’t need preseason basketball. – 11:14 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Nuggets starters are self-destructing. – 11:14 PM
Golden State Warriors @warriors
Now that’s what we call teamwork

CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Kuminga gonna break the rim. – 11:12 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
GSW up on Denver by 6 points after about 3 nice preseason possessions in a row:
Jefferson: “THE TITLE IS THEIRS AGAIN OMG”
Breathe, Richard. Let the season breathe a little. – 11:12 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Warriors testing out a bunch of different lineups in this first half. Just went on a burst with a Curry, Klay, Poole, Kuminga, Draymond five. Three Kuminga dunks within a couple minutes. One-hand putback and a couple well-timed slashes set up by Klay/Curry. He’s playing well. – 11:10 PM
Golden State Warriors @warriors
Go off then JK!
📺 @NBCSAuthentic pic.twitter.com/KZlRsRpLfI11:10 PM

Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Kuminga slashing and rebounding and playing defense. Kerr’s heart is full – 11:08 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
Davon Reed deciding “you know what, I came off that screen and I’m open, I’m just gonna shoot” and swishing it is pretty great. The more things he’s comfortable doing, the better it is for the Nuggets, who would love him to be the KCP understudy. – 11:06 PM
Denver Nuggets @nuggets
The find 👀
The bucket 👌 pic.twitter.com/OF3mipe8E311:05 PM

Madeline Kenney @madkenney
Jordan Poole was asked in a pre-recorded rapid fire segment whether he would like more time or more money.
JP paused…. and said more time. – 11:04 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Not a good stint for this bench at all, masqueraded by the Warriors going dry from three.
Could just be a “don’t play this group against the Golden State Warriors” lineup though. – 11:03 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
DeAndre Jordan doesn’t have it tonight. – 11:02 PM
Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Kerr pregame on Klay: “I expect him to shoot every time. Just going to be really honest. He’ll be thrilled to be out there.” – 11:02 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Jonathan Kuminga’s passing has been phenomenal tonight. – 11:00 PM

I bet Donte DiVincenzo’s grandmother makes wonderful meatballs. – 10:55 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Jeff Green just took a charge in the Nuggets’ last preseason game. Salute. – 10:54 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
One reason why Warriors coach Steve Kerr wants James Wiseman to focus on offense: He suspects the big man will find plenty of offense vs. most backup centers. – 10:54 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
Man, second unit offense doesn’t look smooth when it doesn’t have any other ballhandlers besides Bones. The Bruce effect. – 10:50 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Christian Braun does just about everything defensively that you want on the wing. – 10:49 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
Denver’s bench unit is gonna bring the pain this season. There were years that every Jokic minute on the bench were cause for concern. This year?
I expect Denver’s entire second unit should be able to hold their own, which means those first-team leads get to stay. – 10:45 PM

Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Wiseman has altered two shots — one nice block and another when Reed tried to go high over him – 10:39 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
Bruce Brown and KCP are gonna need to get used to not getting whistles in their favor. Sorry guys – just something fun to overcome as a Nugget. – 10:38 PM
Danny Leroux @DannyLeroux
Going from defending Jokic to defending DeAndre Jordan is going to be quite the shift for a bunch of centers this season – 10:36 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
DeAndre Jordan, not Zeke Nnaji, off the bench for the second unit. Imagine we’ll see Zeke later tonight, but interesting nonetheless. – 10:36 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
Nikola Jokic is going with the “I don’t remember how to play basketball” approach to the first quarter, I see. Getting called for multiple (iffy) travels, weird defensive rotations, skipping open shots, not organizing the offense…
Get this man a game that counts immediately. – 10:35 PM
Golden State Warriors @warriors
They didn’t see it coming
📺 @NBCSAuthentic pic.twitter.com/uJ7UzBalK010:34 PM

Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
I’m a big fan of that Nuggets lineup and I hope Malone finds ways to get minutes for it in the regular season. – 10:34 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Buy all the Bruce Brown stock that you can, especially if he’s going to play with Denver starters. He’s a perfect fit alongside Nikola Jokic. Another reason why the Nuggets need to stagger their rotation this season more than ever. – 10:34 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
I’ve seen enough. Wiseman is ready. – 10:32 PM
Duvalier Johnson @DuvalierJohnson
Did the NBA make a change to the traveling rules?
Jokic has already been called with a couple in this first quarter on moves he does OFTEN. – 10:32 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
My hot takes on the Nets preseason: Last two games looked better than the first. Going to take time for this team to look their best given their layoffs of Simmons, Curry & Harris. They have a tough stretch early. Let’s see what they got. TJ Warren waiting in the wings is scary. – 10:32 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
Silverlining of no Jamal tonight: Nikola and MPJ are working a rather devastating two-man game. – 10:31 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Patrick Baldwin Jr. is getting some first-quarter run. – 10:31 PM

Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Wiseman enters and immediately runs a PNR with Poole – 10:28 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
Like swallows returning to Capistrano, every year people somehow rediscover that Michael Porter Jr. can shoot the lights out. – 10:28 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Jordan Poole checks in with 6:06 left in the first quarter. He’s out there with Draymond Green. – 10:26 PM
Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
The thing that has stood out with this unique Nuggets lineup is how easily they generate the looks they want.
AG and MPJ are too big for defenders to switch off ball so you can create a lot of advantages off basic actions. – 10:26 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Jordan Poole enters for Wiggins. Steph-Jordan-Klay perimeter – 10:25 PM
Danny Leroux @DannyLeroux
More than a little disappointed Kerr did not use Draymond’s foul trouble to do an early Poole-for-Green substitution. – 10:24 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Draymond picks up two fouls, both legit this time, in less than a minute – 10:20 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
THAT MPJ mid-range jumper was a good shot within the flow. – 10:20 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
Things that make you go hmm: Jokic bypassing an open corner 3-pointer. – 10:19 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Draymond called for blocking
He complains to ref Curtis Blair
Kerr challenges
Call overturned – 10:18 PM

Steve Kerr challenging a foul called on Draymond Green within the opening minutes of a preseason game. – 10:16 PM
Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
Draymond Green was just ruled for a blocking foul 2 minutes into the first quarter and Steve Kerr immediately used his one challenge to review it. – 10:16 PM
Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
Draymond Green ruled for a blocking foul 2 minutes into the first quarter, Steve Kerr immediately uses his one challenge to review it. – 10:15 PM

My girlfriend of like four years just found out I have neither read the Harry P*tter books nor seen the movies, so I’m more than ready for some preseason basketball. Nuggets at Warriors starts now. – 10:11 PM

Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
A lot of smiles on the floor right now for the Nets. They are rolling offensively. KD and Kyrie each have 17 points at halftime. The ball is moving the way Nash wants — and they’ve done it all with Simmons in foul trouble — and without Curry and Harris. – 9:12 PM

Coach Malone said they are going to see how Jokić feels, but he thinks he’ll play.
Bones Hyland will play. – 8:41 PM

Jamal Murray will not play tonight for the Nuggets. Nikola Jokic is probable. Bones Hyland will play, as will Jeff Green and DeAndre Jordan. – 8:33 PM

Moses Moody is out tonight. Warriors calling it right calf soreness. Happened on one of his crashing drives the other night. Not considered serious. – 8:21 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Klay Thompson will about 16-18 minutes through two spurts in the first half. The rest of the starters will play a near regular-season minutes. Draymond Green will see a few minutes less than the others. – 8:21 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Moses Moody (right calf soreness) is out tonight. – 8:20 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Per Kerr: Moses Moody will sit tonight. R calf soreness. Not believed to be serious – 8:20 PM

Moses Moody (right calf soreness) is out tonight. – 8:20 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Two Klay Thompson stints in his preseason debut tonight. Both in the first half. Should be around 16-18 minutes total. Rest of starters could get a near regular season minute total. Steve Kerr said they may close game if opportunity presents. – 8:19 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Klay Thompson is set to play 15-16 minutes tonight, per Warriors coach Steve Kerr. Two first-half stints. – 8:18 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
The ball is moving around nicely again for the Nets. You can see the chemistry developing a little more each night. Royce O’Neale has missed two open threes — but offensively, it remains scary to think how much space there will be when Harris and Curry are healthy. – 8:18 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Klay Thompson will play 15-16 minutes tonight and won’t play in the second half, Steve Kerr says. – 8:17 PM

Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Nash says both Harris and Curry are progressing in their respective rehab programs. It sounds like Harris is a little closer to playing than Curry is right now. Nash said Curry still has some hurdles to clear — but has been getting some individual work in. – 6:39 PM
