Strawther is still a work in progress on defense unfortunately. Like his metrics are near the bottom of the entire league.


I get that but they needed to play someone who make some shots not get some stops.

Okc has issues finishing around the rim. There a little soft on finishing athleticism and touch around the rim. Caruso blows a lot of layups.

SGA has found the open man 3 times while triple teamed in the last 2 mins and they’ve blown all the layups.

Denver had the market cornered on guys who are "injured" and then have their best game of the series.

Give the Nuggets bench some credit here. They are applying rim pressure on both ends.

What a play with that Watson block.

That play could have single handedly stopped another Nuggets 4th Q collapse. Now they've survived the non Jokic minutes with the lead in hand

Regular season JDub is good enough. Playoff JDub is a scrub. I'm hoping he'll improve with experience. This is just his third NBA season.
