Hard to win NBA games when the other team has 20+ rebounds on you.

Jokic is amazing. This series is his coming out party….. damn shame the media doesn’t give this man his respect. He’s above and beyond any Center in the game and it’s not even close. Would have been interesting to see how the C’s matched up in this series. Too bad we’re home watching . Smfh

Denver needs to finish it out

Miami refuses to die it's so annoying. But this one's over. Nuggets aren't the Celtics who can do 5 different stupid things in 20 seconds.

I miss the days when you had the dominant center or the dominant poward foward. This team needs a player like that inside cause our guards can’t post up to save their lives.

Jokic and Murray both with 30-pt triple doubles. Jays would never lol. JB can replicate the 7 turnovers by Murray though, no problem.

Watching the nuggets penetrate and carve up the zone for easy scores makes me sick to think we couldn’t do the same

Joe's offensive plays, although it involves a lot of ball movement, usually ends up with a 3pt shot at the end. Nuggets' offense involves a lot of player movement as well. Players cutting to the basket while Jokic is at the nail or at the top of the key allows him to setup up a variety of options on offense. Can't see why the Celtics can't do the same, and that's why they get easily flustered by a zone defense.
