Reminds me too much of Dwight Howard

Jordan or Kobe wouldn’t

I wish Hunter Tyson had been given a chance this season

Yet another player that completely fell off the face of the earth once he stopped playing with Jokic.

Correct. He landed in Detroit.

A: Not throw things on the court, because I'm very important to the Nuggets and they can't afford for me to get suspended
B: Throw things on the court, because it's the playoffs and the league won't suspend me anyway

B was the correct answer, because they didn't suspend him.

Imagine wanting refs to decide a series and not the actual players.

Oof.

You don't like the fact that it's logical that he should have been suspended, that's all.

He made a stupid decision and got a fine. He learned his lesson and won't do it again. It wasn't a Draymond Green like incident, and it wasn't a fight. Only a softie wants players suspended left and right for things like that, but NBA fans are super soft these days.

One of us is bias towards a team in this series, the other person me is not. I just think if you're going to be a professional you should be smarter and if you can't handle that, then too bad you get suspended. I don't have a dog in this fight I don't care who wins the series, you do.

I mean all these guys just come in and chuck when they get a chance. But he has some real talent.

Wolves were -10 with Gobert on the floor and -24 without him. He had the best plus/minus of any of their 8 rotation guys.

This felt like a fake game. Like the refs decided before the game to call the game the complete opposite of games 1+2 to help the trailing team. I hope game 4 is just a straight up good game between the two

You're soft.

But even without Murray's 24 pts in this game the Nuggets still win this game, so who cares.

Will Murray talk post game now

Agreed. Keep Gobert on Jokic and it's a guaranteed series win.

Tonight was a good demonstration of how Denver plays best this year with teams selling out to stop Jokic.

* Jokic defers early and doesn't try to fight the double teams

* The Others find a groove

* Defense forced to loosen up on Jokic

* Jokic takes over


Denver has played this style effectively a number of times this year.

Dominant win. Game 4 is a big one

He was definitely soft in game 2!

The game was called ticky tack on both ends when the game was still close. Denver adjusted, Minnesota didn't. That's all it boils down to.

Didn’t watch the game but why are they doubling Jokic early?

Yes, I feel sorry for DEN fans and PHX fans.

Or it's like 2020 Finials. Lakers up 2-0. Heat win game 3. Just when a bunch of people think Heat is going to come back, Lakers won game 4 and the series 6-2.

Miami weren't defending champions with the best player in the world lol
