Aaron Gordon has been key to an improved #Nuggets bench since returning from injury. Even when he's back in the starting lineup, Denver will need more of him there when Nikola Jokic is off the court. My latest for @Forbes/@ForbesSports:

And another sack! I had no idea the Eagles defense was gonna be my happy place, but here we are.
Back-to-back sacks on Mahomes followed by him throwing a pick 6 is the most damn satisfying sequence of NFL football I've seen in a long, long time.

"Both quarterbacks with costly mistakes on interceptions" Uh, one was a pick 6 and one was basically a punt.

Seal as a literal seal is kinda funny but also somehow deeply disturbing in a Tusk kind of way.

I've been out of the NFL loop for years, had no idea Wilford Brimley was the Chiefs' head coach now.

Okay, finally getting the the #Nuggets - Suns game I missed earlier today, but being that it's after midnight, probably won't be posting many clips/observations on it for the time being. Did see the results, though, so not one of those spoiler-free ones.

All of the below is to suggest that, despite the #Nuggets being on a 6-game winning streak (their longest of the season & currently in the NBA), some inconsistency up to now shouldn't be surprising, especially considering new & promoted players in the mix.
The #Nuggets have played 12 different starting lineups through 53 games. All 8 of Denver's main rotation players have played in 24 of those 53 games, ie. under 50%, and in 28 of the 29 games a player missed one or more was "core 4" (AG, Murray, Jokic, MPJ) (data via @bball_ref)

Nikola Jokic postgame, after he'd chatted with Gary Harris, on if he remembered his inbound to Gary for the game-winner over OKC: "I remember it was over Russ, so that's why I remember actually." #Nuggets #MileHighBasketball
