It doesn't hurt to give DeAndre or Zeke -- 5 minutes tonight?
The Denver crowd needs to show up like games 1 and 2

Rest Jamal Murray for the Wolves series ...his poor shooting is one of the reasons why we have trailed the Lakers for most of the series Have Reggie Jackson (ugh) play 30-35 minutes Braun as backup PG for 10 minutes ... Braun is the 6th man and should play a lot of minutes tonight 3 minutes just have Jokic bring up the ball there is a problem with your math... Reggie is not healthy enough to play 30-35 minutes playoff basketball is taxing, and if you need your starter to be replaced, you'll pay the price in second half. Knicks won last night because Embiid was dead in 4th quarter. Phoenix lost last night cause Royce ONeal and Eric Gordon who were 20 minutes players suddenly had to play 35 minutes. if Jamal isn't ready, you need 25 minutes from Reggie and Braun, and then additional 10 minutes to give KCP some rest. so either Pickett or Strawther have to get 10 minutes, and to top all of that you are entering world of trouble in 6-8 minute you'll sit Jokic. and if thats not enough, just think about crunch time since no one but Jamal and to some degree Braun doesn't know how to give ball to Jokic on low post and there is no 2 man game... its most likely going to be reverse pnr with AG, which means AD and LeBron can switch, so we play right into Lakers hands... simply said, Jamal is most important offensive player in this series. |

I’ve said before the Nuggets won’t repeat without complete health as they had last year. The Nuggets don’t have complete health. You figure out the rest of the story. |

I don’t know how you guys do it, I am f***ing terrified of going down in the history books for the wrong reason in the series Rock, I too can feel the pain of the possibility. Something like that could only happen to the Nuggets and would tarnish the pure joy of finally winning the championship. We'll probably win, but even thinking about it hurts. |

whatever happens my NT brethren, just remember:
you are supposed to derive enjoyment from sports.
sports is a useful distraction. a hobby.
it should not be the main source of your pain and suffering.

Eh, our seasons over if Murray's out for a while. s**t happens. I already think this. Even if Murray plays, he won’t have complete health. Some people have noticed through the first four games that Jamal doesn’t have “spring in his legs”. Wonder why? Calf muscles that are tight prevent springiness, and compromise jump shots. Along with the knee inflammation (both knees), recent ankle rolls, and shin splints that never went away, Murray is certainly no Bubble/Playoff Murray to which we had all become accustomed. I’m going ahead to plan a June trip to Iceland and Scandinavia with my wife because there won’t be any parade this year. |

Your realistic view sounds awfully Rock-like.

I'm in favor of playing Pickett/Strawther, I just don't think Malone would do it, assuming Jamal does not play tonight |

My only concern going into the playoffs was Jamal’s health. Really feels like he’s laboring through some stuff and in the end, we just don’t have enough if he’s not going nuclear in these games.
Holding out hope that I’m wrong

Murray before Game 4 looked as healthy as ever. People always make excuses for him when he shoots poorly or does dumb s**t. He looked healthy in the 2nd half of Game 2 right?
Calf strain thing in Game 4 and on, sure. But before that it's just an excuse. His health isn't making him take dumb shots and miss reads.

I don’t know how you guys do it, I am f***ing terrified of going down in the history books for the wrong reason in the series Because people pretend to not see what we're seeing. The team has played like s**t for the entire series. We're Murray heroics away from being tied 2-2. The team has not looked like the Nuggets all series long. People who aren't panicking aren't doing so because we have Jokic. I hate to break it to those people, but that does not matter when he's giving C level effort. |

you and rock must feel like the two protagonists in "Don't Look Up".
after we send old man Bron to Boca Rotan tonight, we'll soon see how this team looks like against a team they respect.

you guys are the most weak minded losers i've seen lol. the wolves are the ones to worry about. murray will play but even if he doesn't then nuggets just have to take it serious for once and not coast.

I'm genuinely disgusted by the Nuggets right now. Not fun rooting for arrogance. Have felt that way the entire series. |

If we have to rest Murray then this is probably a better than 50% chance LAL wins the game. Doesn't mean we can't win, but cmon guys, you can't play a playoff game with RJ as your only PG, I was onthe bandwagon of not playing RJ at all because we could survive the Jokic on, Murray off minutes without a PG, and Murray could run those duties when Jokic was sitting, but asking RJ to play 25+ minutes in a playoff game is ludicrous. He's washed, he by himself will make it extremely difficult vs. LAL. Jokic will need to shoot 40 times minimum tonight. We also need to get AG going as well. I just can't saya I'm super optimistic of any game that doesn't have Murray playing.
Having said all that. And I'm sure we'll get to it later if we get bounced, but the Murray health situation is starting to be a problem. After we lost in the bubble to LAL, I felt like we were entering our prime Contention window. We traded for AG, we won 4 in a row, and then Murrray blows out his knee. Misses the next year and we waste two playoff seasons to that injury. Now the injury bug is back again. I'm just very frustrated over the whole situation. Especially with our cap situation, we going to havae to make some tough decisions going forward. We havee 3-4 more seasons of prime Championship opportunity, and we can't waste that.
