Match point #2, the first on the home court.

Many don't realize this as such a pivotal game because we have had such a strong HCA. However, that tiny bit of hope and momentum that the Tpups are clinging to along with a touch of desperation could be dangerous to this series. We NEED to dispatch ANT and the rest of this team. They are undermanned but we cannot take this game for granted. Murray and MPJ have to reclaim their shooting touch, for now, and in games to come. KCP needs to show us his defensive prowess, Edwards needs to be kept in check. Joker will take care of Gobert and AG50 has done a decent job on KAT, our bench has to step up like in game 3, their bench is crippled but that just means someone can step up and become a guaranteed contributor for the rest of the playoffs or go home...I say send them packing for the offseason !!!

GO NUGGETS !!

Two blocked shots already...and NOT BY Gobert !?$&* And another poor shooting nite to start this game, it can't happen this way.

MPJ needs to concentrate on other parts of his game right now, his 0-6 shooting is bogging this team down. 5 rebounds is good, now focus on his defense

Jokic and MPJ are 2-16 in the first half but Denver still leads at halftime thanks to... defense.

Joker has another Triple Double, we need to close this out though !

Jokic 27/17/12 but that 1 missed FT, gives me a heart attack

4-1 is what I expected from this series since the start. Good fight from the Wolves but they should blame themselves for losing that Play-in game in LA after a massive lead in 4th quarter. Against Memphis, they would have some chances, but not against Denvver.

Didn't see ANYWAY the MPJ or Joker would shoot as bad as they did, Jamal stepped up as expected but we need ALL three towin the next series.

Just glad we got outta that series w/o any major injuries, that has derailed us a few times in the past
