After the way we started being up at the half is crazy. With the amount of energy Edwards is expending on both sides of the floor, curious to see how much he has left in the second half. Then again, he's half the age of Lebron so he should be fine. Altitude will make him tired and I think duh88 said Minnesota does not have good conditioning and they will begin to tire at the end of the 3rd quarter |

I really wonder how many practice shots does Jamal take daily? I don't get how he can shoot this poorly He only took 5 shots. His approach after his first stint was really good. We don't need Murray to score 25+ every game. Get others involved. Force Jokic to be more aggressive. He really has to start making those pull up mid-range Js though. Those are such important shots for the Nuggets. |

When he is cold he is lazy, does not play defense and have tunnel vision on offense. But when he is hot (and he can get hot at any point) he turns into MJ on steroids on both ends of the floor and i really mean it. Consistency is what Jamal will never have sadly. |

Altitude should play at least a small part |

He got very tired at the end of the 2H there. Wolves took a very smart timeout to get him his wind back and he hit a 3 right out of it. |

Regular season this is a little more accurate but he's been mostly consistent for his playoff career. There's also a difference between him shooting like sub 30% and shooting in the high 30s/low 40s. This is the worst shooting stretch of his career. |

It's crazy how bad Denver's looked in the playoffs. Yet again they still have a great chance to win.

Also it's gonna be mind numbingly annoying how quickly the NBA media will elevate ANT above Jokic if Minny wins this series.

Wolves defense is elite but it felt like this against LA too. Very curious to see what adjustments are made throughout the series. Thought Jokic approached that half about perfectly. Just need more at the start. |

Already a top 10 player no doubt. If people want to argue he's better than SGA I'd hear that too. If he goes on a D Wade type run and wins it all then that conversation isn't that insane. Gotta win to keep the crown. |

Also ANT taking 17 shots and no movement to Wolves offense is going to be huge for us if they keep it like that. One player offense never wins. Give Ant 40 FGA per game if he wants as long as others are just cones. He will be exausted in the 4th quarters where we should be able to close them.

Just need more at the start. I'm not sure what you can do with current Murray. Changes everything. At that point you just need to overwork Jokic. Get into your sets quicker and finds way to get the ball to Jokic near the basket. It's not even just the shooting/scoring with Murray. It's everything. What's crazy is he's moving great out there so I'm still hopeful he bounces back. |

Found it interesting how little they ran 2 man with Conley/Gobert. Ant was running all of their actions and the Nuggets did a pretty good job defensively. Let him eat. Just keep KAT and Reid from killing you from 3. |

Just need more at the start. I think the defense is the biggest difference right now. Minnesota is a big/long team and the best defense in the league, and the Lakers are also a really big team that is pretty good defensively (or at least seems that way when we're not hitting open perimeter shots). Passing/driving lanes start getting a lot smaller with so much size in the paint and Jokic can't operate as easily as he's used to. |

To me it's the decision making from Jamal more than anything. He's forced a lot of bad shots throughout teh playoffs. |
