He pretty much holds these records for most franchises:
Most points scored against in a single game.
Most total rebounds against in a single game.
The points one has taken a hit the last 10 years because of the 3-pt shot and not letting defenses play physically anymore, but the rebounds records are holding up.

It'll be interesting to see how Denver attacks this off-season.
Jokic is one of the top three players in the league and makes everyone around him better. He's also improving defensively. (While he's not a weapon on that end, he is well above average-- which is perhaps the most shocking statement you could have made about Jokic when he entered the league.) He and Murray should make for a solid one-two punch.
Do they keep Gordon? How about Porter? Monte Morris took a major step forward this year-- does he start next year with Murray? Do they turn to Bones Hyland, who also had some really good moments?
That's a team that has a sneaky outstanding core, but has been decimated by injuries multiple times. Time to blow it up or double down?
Denver has a pretty well constructed team that I would keep intact. Maybe give Hyland more minutes and letting Barton go. Every team can use another creator and shooter so draft or sign a prospect with that potential then see what happens. Denver is good at developing young talent.
My guess is they mostly stand pat. Murray and Porter give them their 2 and 3 options again. That will create all kinds of space for Gordon on the interior. Nnaji and Hyland both should take bigger roles, and they can push out Barton and JaMychal Green. They'll need to replace Boogie, who's surely getting paid elsewhere after the season he just had. Jeff Green has a player option for $4.5M. That price might work for both sides.
What they really need are wing defenders. I know, get in line, but a Herb Jones clone would be perfect for their starting unit. Morris, Bones, Jeff Green and Nnaji would give them a versatile 2nd unit. I thought Davon Reed looked good for them, but then they didn't carry him on the playoff roster. So no idea what's up there.
I'm looking at them to contend at the top of the West next season.

76ers up by 22 with about 3 minutes remaining in 3rd qtr. Maxey, Greene and Harden showing more offensively this game.
* Attended the 1990 and 2010 Reds Division clinchers *
Go 76ers, Go Steelers and Go Bucks
Suns/Pels Game 6 is excellent.
Larry Nance, Jr. took over and dominated the 1st Half. 10 pts and 6 Offensive Rebounds in 14 1st half minutes. Foul trouble for Valenciunas was the best thing that could have happened.

Wow! 5 fouls on McCollum with 7 minutes left in the 3rd. 4 fouls on Jones and 10 for 10 from Paul.
New Orleans is in trouble.

F-Embiid chants are reigning down in Toronto...he is so good at being the villain.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
Sixers go, "Enough of this crap. Let's bury them in Toronto!"
