Jokic time. Tie score.

I stand by it. This will almost certainly end with bad 4th Quater Jokic performances but you'll at least be in the game in the 4th. This Denver roster can't work when he sits.

I fking hate this roster. This bench screws joker over all the time and they’re gonna lose again because of it and Murray.

Murray cant get a step on anyone and he's just trying muscle his way to the rim and draw cheap fouls. Thankfully the refs arent bailing him out

Clippers are long. And the Nuggets roster is basically full of victory cigar players.

Murray's athleticism (what little he had left) looks totally gone. This dude can't get by anyone with the dribble.

If Harden played the exact same game Murray has played so far he’d have like 8 free throw attempts

On the other team? Maybe
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Imagine how Jokic feels watching from the bench.

I really dont know what his career will look like going forward. He's a small shooting guard who really isnt explosive athletically at all and doesnt have a sturdy frame. His best hope may be to improve his pg skills. He needs to tighten his handles as well

I think I would lose it mentally to know every time I sit down I have to come back in to a lead lost. Like that’s got to take a toll on you that I have to do so much more just to get a lead back.
