Last year, after 20 years of stats & research for MLB/NBA, I joined X. 4 months later I was hacked. Lost account. Fun times. Let's try again, shall we?

10 years ago today, @BeMore27 made his NBA debut. 10 years later, he's one of the greatest Nuggets in the 50 years of this NBA franchise.

This is perfect. @katywinge knows a thing or two about a thing or two.

Trevon Brazile in his Nuggets home debut: 1st 3 Quarters: 11 min (2 pts, 3 reb) 4th Qtr & OT: 17 min (15 pts, 6 reb) Played every minute of 4th quarter and OT 🏀 🇧🇷 💪

Jokic: 35 Murray: 42 Combined: 77 5th most points combined in any game (reg & post)

Highest points - Nuggets Home Opener All-Time Nick Van Exel (2001) - 44 Jamal Murray (Tonight) - 42 Alex English (1988) - 39 Kiki Vandeweghe (1983) - 37 Orlando Woolridge (1990) - 37

Nikola with his 222nd triple-double (Reg and Post combined) Passed Russell Westbrook tonight. Most Ever.

Turnovers: 22 Assists: 17 First game with over 20 turnovers and fewer than 20 assists since 3 years ago.

Last year's opener: AG scored 50 to lead the Nuggets. This year's opener: AG scored 20...to also lead the Nuggets.

Jokic in 1st half had 8 points on 3-13 FG and 1-7 from 3. With at least 12 FG attempts in any 1st half...tonight's 23% is bottom-5 in percentage. In his career. Yet, the Nuggets, in Oklahoma City, are up by 4. That's a good sign.

Good to be back. Also good to see Denver's D making a statement. Held OKC to the fewest points against them in 1st half at home since Feb of 21 (18 games ago). SGA is coming. He hasn't finished a game vs. DEN with fewer than 25 pts scored in 10 straight.

Last time on with @NateKreckman @Andy_Lindahl @MarkAMark this season @AltitudeSR We laughed, we cried. From Zone Defense to the Chinese Zodiac. From Backcourt Strategy to Bird Cannons. Plenty of stats you needed and a lot more you didn't. We'll try again next year.

Adelman inherited a team with high expectations. They fell short. 29 teams do every year. This year: - 28 different starting lineups. Most in a decade. - 3 of 5 starters didn't play enough games to qualify. Still won 54 gms. Tied for 2nd most in DEN NBA history.

This season: When Gordon played: 28-11 (.717) When Gordon DNP: 28-21 (.571) - - - Last 4 seasons: 22-23 / 23-24 played 173 out of 196 games (23 missed) 24-25 / 25-26 played 104 out of 184 games (80 missed)

That was the 100th playoff game for the Nuggets with Jokic and Murray. 53-47 record. They've gone to the playoffs 8 straight years. Won 10 of their 17 total series. This was only the 2nd 1st rnd loss. But... DEN in '22-'23 title run: 16-4 DEN in 3 playoffs since: 16-16

DEN playing their 18th elimination game tonight (Jokic/Murray era) Most in NBA since 2019. 11-6 record. 3-3 on road. But, 4 of the 6 road gms in the bubble. No fans. Road elimination gms WITH fans? 0-2. Rnd1-Gm5 '22 @ GSW (L) Rnd2-Gm7 '25 @ OKC (L) Ultimate test tonight.

Game 6 between @nuggets and T-wolves will be the 100th career playoff game for Nikola Jokic. He enters the game tied with Russell Westbrook for most triple-doubles in NBA history (Regular and Post Season Combined).

The Tim Connelly series. w/ DEN: Drafted Jokic & Murray. Traded for Gordon. w/ MIN: Traded for DiVincenzo, McDaniels, Randle and Gobert. Since 2022, these two teams have met 30 times. Regular and Post-Season. All tied up 15-15.
