Loved this Russell Westbrook steal in the fourth quarter. It just felt so extra even if the force of the throw was necessary. pic.x.com/vkEstaEoN0 – 11:25 PM

The Nuggets needed overtime in two nights in a row against the Raptors and Nets just to get back to 2-2.
Still, Denver’s 2-0 on this road trip, and they’re making progress as a team, including from Russell Westbrook.

I don’t think Jokic is gonna win MVP again this year just because of the issues the team is having, but for now at least, the “best player in the world” belt remains safely in his hands. – 10:23 PM

Nikola Jokic better touch the ball every single possession in this OT. The next player that chucks a three or waves off the MVP to dribble the air out of the ball gets their car popcorned. – 10:12 PM

Russell Westbrook is taking over in this one.
The second unit is running through him and he is attacking the paint and either finishing or getting to the FT line. He even hit two 3-pointers and CHIRPING! He’s up to 22 points.
Love the aggression. – 9:38 PM

Jamal has 13 points, Jokic has a near triple double with 10p/8r/7a and MPJ has 11 points

NEW: What to Watch for in Nuggets-Nets tonight.
It’s a Back-to-Back. The Nuggets might lose after an exhausting OT win.
But make sure to value what Nikola Jokic just did first.

From Saturday @TheAthletic
The LA Clippers knew what they needed in Russell Westbrook and how to support him after the Lakers turned on him.
But with Westbrook in Denver, the Clippers showed in many ways how and why they moved on.

More on this storyline
Kevin O’Connor: When Nikola Jokic is on the floor the Nuggets have a 110.1 offensive rating. And a 54.9 offensive rating in the 24 minutes Jokic is on the bench. 54.9 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Russell Westbrook has been in for 22 of those 24 minutes without Jokic. Lakers and Clippers fans saw this coming. -via x.com / October 29, 2024
It’s a long season, and Westbrook is beloved by many who are still with the Clippers. He will see how well he connected with Clippers fans in five weeks when the Nuggets visit Intuit Dome. The Clippers were there for Westbrook at what might have been the nadir of his career. But the Clippers are committed to the pieces they have now without Westbrook, and Saturday’s result makes it easier not to look back again. “We’re both inner-city L.A. kids,” Harden said of Westbrook after Saturday’s game. “When it’s all said and done, we’ll be in the Hall of Fame. That’s a story right there. I’m happy he’s happy and he’s playing well. He’s doing his thing here in Denver. So it’s always happiness when we see each other.” -via New York Times / October 27, 2024
Law Murray: Tyronn Lue on Clippers acquiring Russell Westbrook two seasons ago and what he expects from Westbrook today “He brings energy every night. That’s why we went out and got Russ… I don’t think tonight will be any different.” -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / October 26, 2024
Nearly a year after it was first announced, Nikola Jokic’s first signature shoe has finally hit an NBA court. The NBA’s reigning MVP debuted the 361 Degrees Joker 1 Thursday night during the Denver Nuggets season-opening loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The black and white sneaker features a leather upper with two distinct regions splitting the colors. Black leather takes on a puffy pattern for the upper portion of the shoe, while the tongue takes on a diamond quilted look in black leather. Jokic’s jester hat appears throughout, including at the center of studded trim separating the black and white areas and at the end of a stripe running over the toe and extending to the sole unit. -via Footwear News / October 29, 2024
