MPJ makes $500k a game to hit 3s and he’s missing worse than I’ve ever seen

Waiting for the ‘joker has so much more help then you think’ clowns to come out??

Thundernuggets end, Thunderwolves begin

[Dadouv47]

Small ball line up + Shai/JDub hitting their shots = win

[Kawaii Leonard]

Why did denver even bother getting on the plane?

Now up 20, it is SGA time to shine. Stats babe!

[Cubbies2120]

Lol the Jokic haters even silent right now watching the “supporting cast” (if we can call it that) for Jokic in the biggest game of the season

MPJ and Murray combined for 6 points

[Syd-TK3]

Well I was talking crazy about Jdub but he showed up today

And in your mind that statline makes the above statement untrue?

In the 2025 playoffs he’s 52nd in PER, 63rd in WS/48, and 45th in BPM.

And these stats, to you, change the past?

What year are you talking about?

Murray played well in 2020 and 2023. He didn’t play at in 2021 or 2022 and played terribly in 2024. He has not been at an all-star level this playoffs.

Disappointing that the game was ruined when the refs decided to let normal standard fouls go uncalled in the first half.

Is this the precedent for the rest of the playoffs or have they decided to have a different threshold for this particular game?

[zshawn10]

Good on gordon to gut it out for his team but man fat lady is about to sing if not warm up for the nuggets

[Optms]

Getting blown out

I thought Denver was better than this TBH

[Jeremy Lin 7]

MPJ and Murray solving the housing crisis with their bricks

This is sad...
It was nowhere near a 14 points game, but you can't blink against this team, gonna be one helluva mountain to climb...

If the threes go down according to expectation, this is probably a 20+ point game. If OKC wins they'll have won 5 games this round with the Game 1 blunder. They've made it as hard as possible on themselves.

Thunder are better frpm 3 than Nuggets.

The difference in shot difficulty is stark.

Denver needs better scouting and coaching staff who can find talent and develop them for the bench. Might be too late for Jokic era though.

Jokic could bring the basketball world to a standstill or even get the Denver FO to act with some urgency if he said wanted out or even talked in the same vein that Giannis has these past couple of years.

But then again truth is he won’t. So if he’s not going to talk complain about Denver’s roster construction then fans might as well not either. I’ll never hate on LeBron or KD for not bailing out some of these front offices.

Denver fans should. Perception can create pressure on a team. Facts are out for all to see. Braun is the only player who's been developed since Jokic/Murray days. That's a long ass drought! Glad they finally fired that GM. Next one needs to be better. Nuggets have had such great FO for a long time. They finally ran out of talent I guess.

Respect for getting it to 7 Nuggets, now go get a bench and trade MPJ...
