Nuggets didn't allow Jordan Poole to look like Jordan for the fourth time in the row, and somehow was better than GSW in 3pt and FT% shooting today, so even Curry's full playing time minutes and Klay's game from his best was not enough for the Warriors to sweep Denver today. This series is not over yet!

OK, we live to fight another day, Joker steps up for that MVP performance. Gotta say, he really seems to live for a moment ! Funny, feels like not having Barton in the lineup still, hmmm. Morris looked like he gave a crap.

I especially liked seeing Morris hit a crucial jumper in crunch time. That's not something he's done before and it could be a really important step for him.

This team has just one player (Jokic) who is a proven performer in playoff crunch time. In an ideal world, MPJ and Murray would be taking those shots. But maybe we can make some lemonade out of these lemons with Morris and Gordon getting that experience so they'll be more reliable next year. If I'm Malone, I make a point of playing Hyland in the 4th quarter next game for that reason. He may choke, but let's get that choking done this year to get him right for next year.

Odd enough, didn't Morris hit a game-winner against GSW during the season ??

Not sure, but the pucker factor in the playoffs is like 1000 times higher.
