I'm thinking that it's better without the elevation issue.

If they continue to play like this. Yes.

Denver and these crappy starts. They ain’t gonna be able to get away with this all playoffs. They’re gonna be running into teams better than the lakers. If they’re gonna keep doing this they won’t repeat

It's been like this Game 1 and 2. A 20 point lead ain't safe anymore.

The good championship Spurs team of the past used to do the same crap.

Start off slow and then BOOM! Methodically chip away and wear down the other team. lol

They can’t expect to keep getting away with bad starts even if they play better later on in the game. Eventually you run out of time catching up like they almost did in game 2.

Denver starts poorly every game because it usually takes 5 minutes for Jokic to get a shot.

1st foul on Jokic not a good sign

Keeping an eye on every foul they call on Jokic. Easiest way to take Nuggets out of this game is to get him in foul trouble.

Yes, but this team has had this issue all year it feels like…
