If wins, Denver will finally get the status of favorites in this series, where OKC is not only still considered favorites in this series, but also to win 2025 title!

After 1st quarter, nobody is in double figures in Denver - including the whole Nuggets team

Today's 1st half was so painful to watch, but at least the game is still open.

Instead best-ever "winning ugly" game in franchise history, we get one of the most painful losses.

I've seen a few poster blaming Jokic for this loss, but between MPJ and WB, their shooting/scoring was pathetic. Just have to regroup, score better and increase efficiency in these next 3 games. We had a chance to stab at their hearts, but they survived. On to Game 5

Jokic has to play better, but so does everyone else
Thanks to Malone and Booth, we have 6 guys on the bench that could maybe be playable if they were given enough chances to screw it up in regular season...But no, as soon as someone would hit first bad stretch Malone would bench them until next in lime has same stretch. We can't say neither Strawther, Watson or even Nnaji had good games in RS, but that's not enough for this level of playoffs where you have team that can play defense as hard as they want, because they know not every foul will be called, and even when it is, they still have someone on the bench that will give you some minutes and make positive impact. Strawther played 5min this game and didn't try once from 3, he probably has longest range on the roster, and not using that against this OKC defense while you are shooting 20% from 3 is crazy to me tbh...Put the guy in few times trough the game and tell him to shoot it from wherever he wants, if he scores, you keep him, if he starts missing take him out and try again in 10min...
