Malone sat Porter too long. He's cold now.

I don't ever want to hear again about how great Murray is or that he's a star.

He's a chucker. When his shots go in, he looks good. When they don't go in, he looks bad.

This is who he is, and all he is.

If he wants to be more than that, it's up to him to change.

Isn’t that what we say about all these volume scorers? All of them

Kobe was a volume scorer but he could pass when he wanted to. And his defense, when engaged, was enormously better than Murray's.

Murray is a limited player. Not just in his tool kit but in his mental development for the game. He just doesn't have a great feel for the game, or how he should play in relation to his teammates. In short, he overvalues himself and undervalues teammates.

Jordan was like that early in his career. Murray can learn. Of course, Jordan was 100 times more talented than Murray.

100% agree - his development has been (Please Use More Appropriate Word) by that injury -

He playing like a second year player

[Ballerhogger]

jokic has to play every minute. Theres no way around it.

[Ballerhogger]

MPJ PLEASE.

[JDR720]

Denver aren't moving on offense. Just standing around.

[Wolfgang630]

Denver’s offense has completely disappeared Jesus Christ

[CobraCommander]

Facts. If you've watched KD for a while, you know something is up. Doesn't even look remotely like the same player. Elevation of jumper gone. Lateral movement gone. Losing the ball randomly on post ups.

We'll hear about it at the end of this series.

Losing jump ball with Jokic is embarrassing

I bet Mat Ishibia would've won that

KD running like a old person and gets the foul

[Ballerhogger]

Denver aren't moving on offense. Just standing around.

they get a little lead and think its over i swear every team does this.

[cupcakesnake]

Durant looks so creaky

[Dennis Reynolds]

I'm used to KD making just about every shot he takes tbh

You must not have watched him much in the playoffs I guess against good defenses, certainly not last season.

No, I did. Tatum shut him down in the playoffs last year. The KD I have in mind is the 2015-2018 version, which now seems so long ago.

Didn't play in the playoffs in 2015, choked and got locked up in 2016 and then joined the most stacked team ever in 2017 and feasted on some horrible defenses in that period with GOAT level spacing.

[levon]

KD looks like he's healed from that injury

[c4rbs]

suns bought the bench

[Duke4life831]

Jokic been bad this 2nd quarter

[darmani]

TJ Warren defensive monster

[QPR]

Denver looks completely cooked.

[Young Stapler]

Good comeback so we can have an exciting game tonight

[___Rand___]

Phoenix about to steal one.

[Wolfgang630]

[2weekswithpay]

Jokic having a rough game multiple misses and another TO.

[CobraCommander]

Durant looks so creaky
