My third Raptors game this season…freshtastic opportunity to check out the Denver Nuggets who are one of the top teams in the West. (Yes it’s weird to say that out loud during the Steph Curry Warriors era! Even more strange is the LA Clippers are also up there with Denver. What…yo?!)

Nuggets have excellent ball movement, defense could be tighter and Nikola Jokic is the real deal. Dude had some surreal passes.

Overall it was a Manwich NBA game…all sloppy joes messier than a teenager’s bedroom after a breakup. Sigh.

Toronto’s bench struggled…like a kid not fully hooked on Phonics. They’re gonna hafta address that because we’ve all see that movie before and we know how it ends in April. Lately they’ve put the eh in bEncH.

Kawhi is still rocking Jordans: he also scored 27 which isn’t a coincidence. Let’s see what New Balance brings.

Lastly I’m grateful this game didn’t go into overtime…I’ve got hobbies and things to do. Like remove my pants after a long day: #DownWithPants.

On to the next one…
