Clips/Kings gonna combine for nearly 200 through 3 quarters. This would be a ridiculous series

It’s painful seeing Murray dribble around the court killing clock and being completely unable to get the ball to the best offensive player in the league.

Nuggets need to deal him this summer.

He doesn't "suck", but he's probably the worst second best player out of all playoff teams right now.

I don’t see him as the second best player on a championship team.

Murray is playing hero ball for no reason..and doing it badly

He's not pasding the ball to Jokic and when he does he isnt accurate

Why doesnt Malone jus stagger them? Let murray run that awful bench unit

Murray is legit hurting Nuggets right now ,once more he just takes shots after shots ignoring better options

I’m still not sold on Murray being a #2 option. And to be clear, this isn’t just a hot take for me based off this game, I’ve been pretty vocal on this for quite sometime. Murray has never even sniffed an all star game and that is playing alongside arguably the best facilitator in the game. If things don’t workout in these playoffs, if I were Denver I would try and use Murray and us all the possible 1st round picks to get a true #2 option.

I know all the risks involved, but i woulda liked to see them make a play for Kyrie. Man he'd be perfect as a 2nd option on that squad

Ya those are the kind of risks you gotta take (not specifically saying Kyrie, but you’re going to have to take a risk, a perfect superstar isn’t just going to fall in their hands).

But ya imagine Kyrie getting these looks playing alongside Jokic and I trust Kyrie creating offense much more consistently with the bench unit compared to Murray.

I'm surprised JRich hasn't played any minutes. CJ leads Pels in scoring but on poor efficiency. JRich defends well and gets on those scoring heaters.

He needs to stop playing hero ball. He ain’t that guy. He needs to know his role. And like champions say it only works when everyone knows their role

That foul was absurd.
Ja looks at the defender, then throws himself backward -- away from the basket -- into the defender for the cheap foul.
Soft AF.
Remember when Euro players were considered soft? Yeah, that's us now.

Trae Young made a living off this move but appeared to have stopped it as refs starting calling offensive foul.

This reffing crew has been really bad in the second game

Hey look. Murray goes off the floor and the ball is moving again.

Nuggets sit Murray, Nuggets make run

Mcdaniels and Vanderbilt is like Minny used a photocopier to get both but one copy was in color and the other one in black and white.

Bones Hyland is so average

Jokic needs to shoot the ball. 5 shots or whatever he’s taken going into the 4th quarter will not win Denver this game.

Gonna be real hard for us to make the play in even. Dont see it without Lebron. Making Gobert look like an all-star is just smh...

When AD cant be the best C on the floor against a dude who didnt even make the AS team, thats a problem.

Even scrubs like Santi Aldama just grabbing guys by the jersey on offense, pulling them into himself and flailing his head and arms for no reason now.
Refs: Have 2 FTs :lol:

NBA is a joke right now.
Never was that into college ball but watched some this weekend and the skill level has improved from 10-20 years ago, and you don't see nonsense like this at least.
Playoffs can't come soon enough.

Looking like another 30 point night for Fox. He's on an absolute tear right now when he need him the most. You love to see it.

Out tonight with a personal issue. He's been in the high-20s most nights with the Pels. Has played pretty good up to this point, especially on the defensive end.

Who wins?
