He was good vs the Clippers. Can’t rain all the time.

He was. Basically, he hit his wide open shots.

But this series was inevitable. What he did against LAC was the exception, and this series was the rule. Especially against this matchup.

Dude, he's fine for a veterans minimum contract. Murray/MPJ are the problems with Denver.

A veterans minimum contract who doesn't see the court? Maybe fine. A vet min playing 20+ minutes and hemhorraging points? Not so fine. He annihilates your spacing. He's such a bad shooter that even when he shares the court with the best passer in NBA history - a player who also shoots ++ from every spot on the floor - opposing defenses are still able to get away with putting their whole defense within like fifteen feet of the hoop. It's been sheer despair to watch him play for 90% of this season. The other 10%, he was fun and exciting.

For Jokic

[Infinite Llamas]

Jokic already thinking about his horses.

Horses probably play better ball than some of his bum teammates.

[Andri]

Nuggets full bench in

Thunder starters in

Up 32

Time to statpad a bit!

SGA time!

[KingFox]

Boy if this score were reversed, this forum would be talking about SGA like a dog smh

[Doranku]

SGA has figured out this defense. He has absolutely torched them the last 3 games.

[Optms]

MVP Caruso just out there stat padding now

Smh

[Himothy Duncan]

Emptying your bench with 9 min left? Wtf? Has this ever been done before?

[Ducklett]

Jokic and Giannis both asking out this summer for sure.

[ReddoverKobe]

Love Jokic but he has the worst stans ever

It might be worse then Jordan, thats how bad it is.

[Mamba Mentality]

Bench emptied with over 9 minutes left. Talk about an emotional letdown for Nugget fans.

[PushDaRock]

9 mins is probably too early to throw in the towel in a game 7 despite it being over

[Castle Black]

Expected more out of Denver, even without Gordon.

Murray is so overrated. He’s just a high level heater player. Not a real #2. He’s basically an ALDI knockoff version of Klay Thompson

He doesn't even belong in the same conversation as Klay honestly. At least when Klay's shot isn't falling, he's still a good defender. Murray is the one of the worst defensive guards in the entire NBA.

Murray is a bi racial CJ McCollum

[funkatron101]

MVP HAS to go to SGA.

Reeves is available

[DusterBuster]

Caruso straight taking the all the of Denvers cookies and milk

This was one of those insane moves that wasn’t big enough to really break the internet, but was a low-key tide change move.

Jokic on the next flight out to Serbia.

[MoneyTalks41890]

Nice capper

[Chuck Everett]

Jokic and Nuggets still a damn good team. Unfortunately Gordon/MPJ and to an extent Murray don't show up.

Nah, Denver's problem is they aren't a good team. Management was blessed with an ATG and made one shrewd move to build around him (Gordon).

Other than that the talent on this roster isn't close to a good team.

Not a good team? Really? They won 50 games, beat the Clippers in a series and took the Thunder to 7. If they're not good, who's good?
