After yesterday's debacle, time to put the pedal to the metal on this, show some heart. Murray still on vac...er, the mend ??

Nuggets without Murray are better than Warriors without Klay and Wiseman.

Its not that Wiseman is the world beater either :wink:

Sometimes I forget how athletic MPJ really is for a 6'11" guy.

The Nuggets should double Curry...

I wonder how Cancar would do with Morris and 1 Of Campazzo or Dozier, with Green, and Mcgee? Cancar is a limited player but he gives you plenty of hustle and can cause a little chaos at SF.

Curry Gone Wild....not a show I like.

Denver Nuggets is a great team, but if our next goal is a ring, we need an very good defensive guard to pair with Murray, and the better coach.

Just a horrible defensive performance in that 3rd quarter for the Nuggets.

They should've beaten this team easily.

This is the worst nightmare... Murray should not be back until he is 100% healthy. Knee injuries is the last thing to not be taken seriously. He probably should not played tonight at all.

Things just went from bad to worse. That was a bad fall and it looks like he's done for the year.

Painful non-contact knee injury is last thing you want to see, but not always big pain means structural damage. Let's hope MRI will not approve our worst fears, otherwise even 2021-22 Denver season is already in jeopardy without player previously destined to play 2022 all-star game and NBA biggest sensation of the 2020 playoff.

Commiserations guys. That didn't look great. All my fingers crossed for you.

Embiid was ok after 3 weeks. Hopefully Jamal too.

sorry guys, hoping it turns out better than it looked.

To be very honest, I will be happy right now even with 3 months pause (which includes ruined Nuggets 2021 playoff) because, unfortunately, this looks so much like a torn ACL injury.

Speechless. :nonono:

Terribly sad day for Nuggets Nation.

Hoping for the best regarding Murray.

Let's face it though, we lost another game that we should have won. Our team plays very inconsistently. Once again, the Nuggets couldn't hit a three but they kept shooting them.

The Warriors are not a great defensive team and they held the Nuggets below the team average. When oh when will they start using Jokic along with movement instead of stationary targets hoping for a three? Jokic could average 15-20 assists and that offense would be difficult for anyone to plan for.

They just confirmed it is a torn ACL.

RIP championship window. it was nice while it lasted
