If Denver had Brown I'd bench Murray immediately
** Embiid is the only MVP in NBA history to never make a conference final
** Philly won multiple playoff games without MVP Embiid
** Luka made the WCF without Brunson
** LeBron missed the playoffs with Davis
** Steph missed the playoffs with Klay

Gonna be a tightly called game for sure. Who does that help though? Will the Nuggets bench play better tonight?

You can watch two different NBA playoff games and you'd think you're watching two different sports. This vs. Game 2?

They did the same thing game 4 vs Phoenix. Wolves backed off and turned it into a track meet..
