Cam Johnson was horrible. I'm quite surprised by how timid he was out there. He looked afraid out there.

Absolutely. He was hitting his isos too.

Probably still not enough to overcome nuclear Steph but you gotta feed the hot hand.

Same but i should’ve known better. Golden state has started off the last 2-3 seasons very hot and Denver has no answer for Curry, not even someone that can chase him around

Adelman is trying to build chemistry with his starters, but I would argue that if you have Bruce Brown back, you need to give him a look if Cam Johnson isn't being involved in the offense at all or being productive.

I could ask the same question for the Lakers onto why they suck in 3rd quarters :lol:

He looks like he missed training camp and has no idea where to be.

He had a career year from 3 last season

Was exageratting about the year part but it seems like toward the end of last season and into the playoffs his 3's stop falling like they usually do and like tonight they were open looks. Wondering if the wrist or elbow injury is still a problem

Dubs brought out the high pick n roll at the end. That’s how you know it’s a serious game.

1. It's a shame AG's huge game is wasted.
2. I know Jokic missed a bunch of shots, but it's kind of a testament to him that he drops a quiet 21/10/13 and everyone's talking about how he stunk it up.
3. Appreciate Steph while he's here.
4. If this Warriors team can stay healthy, and Kuminga can keep playing like this, nobody wants to play them in the PO.

Terrible terrible game by Jokic

Denver almost beat warriors decisively when joker had a bad game and Curry had a great game. Denver still clearly second best team in the league.

I liked the big lineup they had in the OT. Kuminga was being abused by Gordon, who is just too big. He was better as a roamer with Dray being strong enough.

Kuminga is playing smarter, not harder so far. Good stuff.

IF only Jokic made that clutch free throw in regulation... Jokic should be held accountable, let alone that atrocious overtime

He's still got it.

I think Minnesota wants to play them. Edwards doesnt fear the Lakers or Warriors at all probably cause he knows no one on their rosters can keep up with him.

Minnesota has no chance against a healthy Curry.

gordon is not hitting 10 3s again tho. cam johnson looked like a bench warmer which i think i not a big deal for now. but jokic looked like he is not ready for the season on his shot selections and conditioning which weird because he would start the seasons strong. i agree they will be the 2nd best come the playoff time

Who wins?
