And, when the Nuggets go away from letting Monté run the offense -- that's what happens. Get Monté the ball!!
Total implosion by the Nuggets. It started when they didn't allow ManMan to run the 'O' and then they took him out and the Denver 'O' sucked. Gonna be tough to come back.
I wonder if he even knows that Monte is the NCAA record holder in that category. Seems like it would be worth mentioning.
Completely agree. Monte actually runs plays. When someone else runs the offense, it goes from Hoiball to Heroball.
Monte is farther along than I could have imagined at this stage.
I just had a thought - I wonder how far back you'd have to go to the last time an ex-Cyclone scored 20 in an NBA game. Hornacek?
Monte is as pure a point as you can find. His game has always reminded me of Stockton but probably a little less nasty on D (not saying he's a top 25 player in history but same style).
Thomas is a tiny shooting guard who can heat up and will now probably always have injury questions.
Pretty good call. From M. Taylor's wiki page: On March 25, 2009, he scored an NBA career high 35 points at Madison Square Garden versus the New York Knicks.
Bryce Dejean-Jones didn't get 20, but he had a 17 pt 9 rebound game in 2016.

Even in a loss, pretty cool to see Monte as a Top Performer next to LeBron.
I agree! I really hope ManMan's performances thus far makes the Nugget management reevaluate the Isaiah T acquisition. Perhaps they can unload him on another team?
