MPJ basically willed the Nuggets into OT by hitting 2 clutch 3s and then did not touch the ball a single time in overtime. It's an issue. It's always going to be an issue. On a night where Murray is dead...maybe run some MPJ/Jokic DHOs?
Just really disappointed in Murray. One of the worst games I can remember him playing in some time. He was just dead out there.

at least the Oilers showed the Nuggets how to get it done. Greasy. Double kick in the nuts for Denver fans. |

This loss is on Malone. Not Joker, not Murray, not Porter. Leaving Bruce on an island with Ant most of the third quarter lost this game. Period. Jokic literally misses the FT to win the game but it's on Malone? Murray shoots 8-21 but it's not on him at all? Conley banks in a 3 pointer that's absurd but it's on Malone. Edwards literally faced up in a 109-108 game and said it was over. He had no need to go for a 3 but called game. Wolves played with zero pressure and performed. Nuggets felt the pressure. In the end could be a good thing getting some more experience but they need to close it out next game. |

If Nuggets lose four straight and this series, Malone is 100% getting fired the next day. It would be the first time a team with 3-0 lead lost a series out of 144 teams in that position. Cmon, you know that's not gonna happen, you can safely bet on it... ...don't do rock, which btw is gonna show up here any second now |

We need Murray to play really good in order to be a Championship team and he's as inconsistent as ever. It's just not going to work. He was absolutely awful outside of that stretch in the 2Q. Took an eternity to get the Nuggets into their offense down the stretch too. |

If Braun or KCP are on him instead we win this game comfortably. Jokic played hurt and gave us 43 and 11. We should have been able to compensate for a tough night at the line. |

Took an eternity to get the Nuggets into their offense down the stretch too. I think the biggest problem with Murray is that with this core/Jokic .. he's always going to be the other guy. Like tonight was a perfect example of where his touches going to MPJ would make alot of sense. Jokic isn't going to do that tho and our entire system is with Murray being the 2nd option. Therefore you need playoff Murray to win a ring. Which we've seen and is the reason were up 3-1 but also played a factor in us not getting the sweep. You can't change things that much on the fly. Murray's going to have the ball this run and he's going to be asked to be the 2nd option. How he deals with that will play a huge role in how far we go. I think it'll all be very simple. Either what were doing will work or it won't and you'll need to see change. At minimum a new coach who tweaks things .. at most a big time roster shakeup. |

On a night when Murray is dead we're going to lose every single game from the next round no matter how good Jokic plays. Tonight Jokic put 43/11/6/2 on 58%FG and 63% from 3 ffs |

Not a single Nugget besides Jokic shot better than 50% from the field or 33% from 3. Non Jokic Nuggets shot 39/26/67 |

It's not how stars work. Look at that last shot by Edwards. Edwards was locked in during that span and playing with zero pressure and nothing to lose. Just like he was in the OT. He was missing shots but stepping up when he needed too. Jokic was incredible but he didn't have a "tough night" at the line lmao .. he missed a FT that would have gave us the lead and won us the game because we got a stop right after it. No shade to Jokic but that's a big deal. He hits the FT and we win the game and MPJ is a hero. Between that missed FT, Conley banking in that 3, Alexander refusing to miss, Edwards calling game and Murray sucking .. there's just no overcoming that. |

Edwards was physically dominating a smaller, weaker player. It only takes CB to be better than Bruce on 2 or 3 possessions to win us that game. |

You can't say the Nuggets absolutely win if Jokic hits that FT anyway. Wolves wouldn't have held for final shot in that situation.
The Conley 3 was the game-changer IMO. If that doesn't go in the Nuggets are up 2 with the ball and probably score again. Instead they're down 1, have an empty trip and the NAW hits a corner 3.
