Lebron and AD both played 22 min. Yikes.

AD roaming the paint while Rui guarding Jokic is insanely embarrassing for the Denver coaching staff and Jokic.

A little biased? Jokic literally shoved Reeves and fell on top of him when Reeves had inside position.

I do think there was a missed foul on a Murray drive and make, that should have been called.

Murray has been really good, nobody else other than him really got rolling for Denver

His conditioning will probably become more of a factor the longer the series

You have to give Rui some credit. He's battling with Jokic and actually doing a decent job.

Jokic will get going in the 2nd half. Malone needs to bench Gordon and put another shooter in.

He's a second year undrafted player. He's allowed to have weaknesses. His impact metrics rate him highly though so it's not just a perception thing

I feel like he possibly barely gets minutes in the NBA without jokic.


There's a reason Orlando gave up on him, their top 5 pick.

The whistles Schroder and Reaves got in that 2nd half got them back in the game.

Kinda sad to watch Murray drive in and get smacked in the head and no call. But you breath on Schroder and insta whistle after he misses
