Murray always looks like he’s slipping on ice.

About that time for Adelman to pull the plug

He got hit because he shoved Jokic in the back and Jokic was trying to regain position.
Exactly the Bs I'm talking about that was going on in the first half.
This is what happens when you can't guard a guy straight up. Sad but I get it.
Luka won the trade & Nico got fired

I feel like the way the contact was called on both ends nuggets never had a chance. Its still sad how Murray, Braun and especially MPJ absolute no-show. Gotta think of this GSW superfan who wrote only yesterday that Jokic has comparable help to prime Steph in 2015/16/17/18, and how Stephs gravity would make the Nuggets win. When you pay max to a guy for literally one skill - make open 3's - and he is making absolutely none.

Good to see Chet bounce back and go 100 on FTs. SGA, JDub and Caruso held it down in the post game 1 interviews

Jokic missed two 3s, both 60 feet+ shots…
Hi Clutchie, I love you...

Chet is apparently strong enough to push Jokic to the ground. The flopping this half is getting outta hand.

Foster AND Malloy. NBA not messing around. Or doubling down on it.

Truth hurts. OKC is dirty.
That's not news. Everyone knows it.
It's up to Adelman to make sure the refs are on it for future games.

It is just insane. People don't want to ever acknowledge "hey the team I'm rooting for isn't good today." Imagine complaining about the refs in game one team is pushing 40.

OK so you saw even officiating when the game began. Is that right? Man...you can be a fan of a team and still admit the obvious. As i wrote before, many Nuggets were an absolute no show today but that does not change the way the officiating is very lobsided. Jokic is getting murdered inside and shot the first free throws when they were 34 points down.

This is what happens when officials don't rig the game like they did in game 1.

I’m sure this forum will handle this really well
Sure hope so. I'm SPF 60 Eastern Euro white.
It stands out in a passing observation kind of way.

Jokic with a clutch bucket to cut it to 30

Your team is losing by 40. The refs could literally put on Nuggets jerseys and you'd still lose this game.

This is where Denver expends the last of their energy to try and get it down to 20 points.
