Silver lining here - our guys could use one more game to get some conditioning in. TWolves threw a lot of new stuff at us, specifically double teaming Murray and grinding the offense down. Good time to adjust. Rather take a punch in the face now, than in the finals.
Not worried - go nuggets

there are two ways you handle defeat like this.
you either mop, or get fully locked in. I hope they understand you can't just give away leads so easily. so I hope they go out locked in and deliver message to Wolves and everyone else in the league.

I’ve experienced a lot of playoff losses
A lot.
And usually it’s when we are down 3-0, or 2-1, or 2-0…whatever. But it’s usually to knock us out or put us in a nearly impossible situation (for example the last two post seasons).
This loss puts us UP 3-1
And we have homecourt
And it feels so much worse. I can’t shake the nugglife. I’m terrified of being the first team to lose up 3-0.
I’m 99% sure that 99% of neutral fans didn’t even notice this game and shrugged it off knowing the nuggets still win the series. I’m sure a team up 3-0 has lost game 4 at least ten times. And every single one of them still won. I think almost always in 5 or 6.
I know we should be ok. Sweeping is tough. Winning back to back road games is really tough. We should be ok.
But this feels terrible.

Nuggets need to treat this game like Wolves has commited a crime.

Btw, lets see how the refs will act in the first minutes of game 5.
At least, I would like to see the b2b MVP receive the treatment received in this game 4.

Good time to adjust. Rather take a punch in the face now, than in the finals. Not worried - go nuggets It will help us in the series against the Phoenix Suns Nothing is going to help us against Phoenix if Murray can't raise his level. Simple as that. The Nuggets have no path to beating Phoenix unless Murray plays at a very high clip. I have no faith in that as of right now. He's out of shape. Now a good coach would adjust and start running different actions and find ways to take pressure off of Murray. But Malone is going to live and die with his bread and butter. You have to have counters as a coach. Other teams are going to continually put their longest defender on Murray. You have to find ways to free him up and Malone is not a very creative offensive coach. The issue is Murray though. He has to mature as a player and realize that on nights when your shot is off, you have to still be able to move the ball and get your team in rhythm. He failed to do that in Game 4 and that was the biggest reason we lost the game. |

If Kawhi and/or PG were playing, the Clippers would possibly be leading that series. CP3 and KD are so injury prone as well ...heck either or both of them could get injured during warmups for game 5 LOL. The only player on the Suns, I'm worried about is Booker The officiating was very one-sided in games 3 and 4, I think Jamal will be fine |

It's comical how so many blame officiating for everything. Sure, there are bad calls and bad officials on occasion, but in most cases, the games are reffed fairly...meaning the other team gets bad and good calls just as we do. It is a rare game decided by unfair officiating IMO.

Officiating could be better but at this point we can't blame officiating for anything. When we play 4 on 5 it's difficult to win. Especially for 41 minutes. Also we can blame on Murray as much as we want but Malone is the one who has the power to adjust and I am 100% sure that is not going to happen if that assumes less minutes for Murray. I am also 100% sure that Murray will have a few more very good games but the problem is that he needs to be good in every game not just in a few. He may have a game down here and there but not 30% or more games where he's not top 2 Nugget performer. He's still taking the most amount of shots and that carries a lot of responsibility.
