Pretty crazy how refs waits for the reaction of the offensive player before blowing the whistle. NBA officiating is largely a farce.

Man, Edwards is probably the only young guard in the league who has legit superstar potential on both ends.

Thomas Bryant went from 21 mpg with LA and wanting more minutes to................ 13 mpg with Denver. Oof

Would have loved mo bamba, but Denver didn’t have the contracts to trade for anyone making over a couple mill. Bryant was about all they could get

Not true they had a 9 million dollar trade exemption they could have used, I wanted Plumbee

Didn’t know this. Plumlee would have been great

Joker gotta be more aggressive to take shots. He’s way too passive when the team is shooting bad

If Bryant isn't giving you offense he's a -30 on the floor.

He produced big because he had Lebron and Russ to an extent spoon feeding him open shots left and right. Kudos to him he made them but he has zero defense.

Bryant’s defensive instincts are horrendous and Jackson has been a chucker his entire career. Brings absolutely nothing else to the table.

That was a dope block by Ja ruined by the refs.

Joker with only 4 shots. Bruh you NEED to shoot more. He’s wayyyy to passive

Murray sucks

The sooner the nuggets realize that Murray is not that guy the better off they’ll be.

Murray is a scrub. This is your second best player? He’s never been an all star

Jokic shoots 4/4 so the rest of the team can shoot 13/37. That's not championship basketball from either Jokic or his teamates.

Jokic is quite clearly going out of his way to get Murray going. Dude is in a slump but he’s usually in a slump.

Gotta tell Murray that. He's often the guy with the ball in his hands, making bad decisions.

Contrary to the Kendrick Perkins of the world, all year Jokic has stepped back his scoring (and upped his passing) to try to help get the confidence back of injury-returning Murray and Porter. But oftentimes Murray just guns without conscience and costs the team.

The problem in this game is the bench and poor shooting. Of course, Murray leads the bench unit. So...

Sometimes he becomes overly selfish and that hurts Nuggets when he isnt hot.

he had like 2-3 possession that could find Jokic in a good place to score and just ignored him

One thing about the Grizzlies -- their lineup without Adams is giving Denver problems. That's something both teams should keep in mind if they meet in the playoffs.

Denver must adjust to this, and Memphis may want to use it more even when Adams comes back.

Who wins?
