@BobbyMlRE The Nuggets had a 3-game winning streak in the first week and then had separate win streaks of 7 in a row and 6 in a row before Christmas this season.

Even won 4 in a row during January without Jokic. Only really struggled to string together Ws in Feb/early March.

@rtreywrld @jmorton78 "The players who mostly haven't played together this season should be enough to win a chip."

@halfklass @Adam_Mares Team said 4-6 weeks for timeline when he reinjured it. Literally been 6 full weeks since then.

Epic game tonight in Colorado playoff basketball!

No. 11 Fossil Ridge trailed the whole way but held off No. 22 Denver East with some late comebacks before Drake Walker's buzzer-beating 3-pointer in double overtime #COpreps @CHSAA

@jacan734 @NikolaJOAT @NuggetsWorldd They're 8-5 without him but have been outscored by 28 points, have no wins by 11+ and played mostly East and/or bad teams, with 5 of the Ws coming vs. the Wizards (x2), Bucks, Pels and Mavs.

@KalleSorbo All-NBA teams are position-less now, so it's just top players. I think he's comfortably within the top 15 so far.

@ATVShook @LouisianaAstros This is so funny to read considering the way ATVS/this account has absolutely bagged on McMahon for years.

@Stud_muffin2824 @NBATIGAHBOY You keep saying this, but Skip was not the AD who hired Saban. He still had two full years left coaching LSU baseball when Saban was hired. Joe Dean was the AD.
