AJHaefele January 19 This Nuggets game better not be an omen for the worst team in the NHL coming to town tomorrow
AJHaefele January 19 Jokic trying not to get after Torrey Craig on the court is an amusing battle to watch every Nuggets game.
AJHaefele January 19 Huh. I was looking something up and found that the Avs don't play another divisional game at home until the final week of the season...when they play three Central teams. They play road games at Central teams five times between now and then. I just find scheduling interesting
