Idk LeBron hasn't really scored a lot, AD has been hot but feel he has a better chance to sustain top level play than Murray. Only concerning thing is Jokic hasn't got it going and even then they scored 30 in the quarter.

LBJ and Davis are feasting right now. Combined for 24 points on brutal efficiency, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal.

I don't even understand why he's in the low block box out there lol even Caruso is a bigger body. No reason for Kuz to be down on the offensive end either, just AD is okay

I mean Murray's been incredible but he's been making some contested jumpers (same as AD). Feels unsustainable on both sides.

Was amazed at how often they were able to keep the ball out of Jokic's hands (and of course the one time he gets it he finds a cutter immediately)

This zone is giving up wiiiide open corner threes. At some point Denver is gonna start lighting them up if nothing changes.

I like these lineups much better.

McGee is where he belongs. In the hit or miss energy big off the bench role.
Don't believe the hype...

I am so done with Kuzma

Guy isn't a reliable shooter

He can cut well and play some decent man d, but we need SHOOTING

Wish we got Bjelica and their pick (I assume 2nds or a future protected first). Imagine Bjelica shooting these open 3s...

Didn't Kuzma's jumper improve in the bubble/playoffs? Gotta trust he'll roll with it

Also - yeah giving up way too many 3s. Not sure why Malone isn't instantly subbing Jokic in when McGee is in so he can feast.

Man the defense is just awful. Everything is wide open. If nothing changes, Denver is winning this game. LeBron and Ad are going to have to go nuclear.

They keep screening the backside of the zone for wide open shots. Denver is about to annihilate this team in the second half this is wild.

Javale and Kuzma shouldn't play together. Javale is too slow to play zone.

Yaah, Vogel is just super disappointing. I'm actually mad the zone had the success it did in that 4th quarter because now he think it's sustainable when it's clearly not.

Davis is a machine with his scoring. But I don't think he even made a good pass out of the double teams he's getting. And that's the only reason why you can't build an offense arround him that will give consistent great offense.

Not sure why Dwight is still on the bench. Morris hasn't been great in this series, would prefer Dwight over him. Especially after the start he had

Edit nvm

Utilizing him as a screener is really good.

He can kind of just catch and shoot/ catch the ball on a roll (he’s good as a cutter and rolling is basically the same thing).

They are just picking on Porter but they should explore this more with Kuzma. He’s not an on ball creator (not good enough passer) but as a finisher you might have something.
