Around the NBA - Haha, just kidding, always knew the Nuggets would take it

Lakers really going to just ruin these great playoffs by just destroying the rest of the field, eh?

look at it this way, if bron dominates again it just means everyone's season was worthless so it doesn't matter that ours was. (insert guy pointing to his head gif)

They are fortunate that their Achilles heel, the Raptors, have been eliminated.

I still wouldn't count Denver out though and I think the Heat will give them a run for their money.

lebron just coasting with 15 while AD casually dumps 37

We could have been using this way of thinking for the past 2 decades

If I were a Nuggets fan I would have rather my team lose in a 7th game to the LAC than make the WCF and be humiliated by Lebron’s team.

Bol Bol sighting.

Less minutes with Jamal Murray is the key for getting MPJ going

Denver is just better when the ball is moving and there players are involved. Getting some of there guys involved earlier bodes well for them later in games. If its just a 2-man show that has proved to be why they fall behind series 3-1

Grant, Harris, Porter has been shooting wide open bricks next to Murray and Jokic. The ball has always been moving. The role players just didn’t show up when the game mattered. Porter and the bench are getting garbage points right now when the Lakers aren’t even trying anymore.

I don't disagree. My point is those guys you mentioned above simply aren't just catch and shoot floor spacers.

Yes that was garbage time but it is important to get these guys shots that aren't just 3's because they aren't just C&S guys. I don't want grant, harris, and MPJ just jacking up 3's. They need to get them going to the basket and maybe even the FT to get going. Then the 3's may open up.

The nuggets aren't the rockets where you want 3 guys just stading around was my point. But yes I do realize it was far to late and it was garbage time.

We talking ourselves into Bam handling AD in the finals?

Gary Harris, Grant and Porter have extremely basic handles. They’re really poor creators. They’re not even doing anything impressive against the Lakers bench warmers right now. If if they can’t hit 3’s, they’re useless. Nuggets need a better third option who can create their own shot cause nobody on the Nuggets can do that besides Jokic and Murray.

The cool thing about us sucking for so long is that it's taken all my passion away. I no longer get pissed about hoops. Which is awesome. Imagine how pissed rocket fans are or the 3 clippers fans are right now.

I mean we've reached a place we can enjoy a Miami heat team.

Killing hope for so many years actually has made us better fans.

[knicks94]

Why are you fools rooting for the lakers?. This thread sucks

Are you surprised? A good percentage of self proclaimed Knicks fans are hardcore Lebron fans.

[LookToShoot]

Malone will stick to his two man game plan and the Nuggets get blown out again.

Murray passes out of a last resort. He never looks to get shooters going, he only dishes when he gets locked up 1 on 1 and picks up his dribble. There is no rhythm or purpose to cut for the other guys, they just stand and watch. Murray himself is better playing off the ball than on the ball.

Lakers are such a good passing team, if Jamal thinks he's going to beat them 1 on 5 good luck

[Manhattan Project]

From what I saw of the game, Lakers did a good job with the alley-oops over Jokic. He simply can't jump with the bigs on the Lakers. Entirely way too much flopping on both ends, it literally look liked the game plan was to flop around Jokic to get him into trouble. Can't overreact to one game, but Jokic definitely gotta do a better job with foul trouble.

No one is asking those players to ISO or playmake. There are other ways to get involved. They all are good cutters to the basket. You can hit some of them coming off screens and just moving around rather then just simply standing a corner watching the 2 man game of Jokic/Murray.

Jokic and Murray need to be on to win...no one is denying that. But to have a chance vs the lakers just like the other teams when they fell behind 3-1...its not a surprise as there role players started to play better they were part of the reason those series turned.

Murray is averaging 6.5 assists. Stop acting like his vision is Coleslaw’s.
