He knows all this suspension talk is beyond dumb. It’s the world we live in where people got to make a big deal and overreact to everything

And this gap is not big enough..

But, tbf, there should be one between Joker and Booker/KD too.


People have gotten spoiled by guys like Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis being considered "2nd options". Murray is pretty good as a #2, asking him to be as good as Kevin Durant is unrealistic. Denver is supposed to win on the strength of their depth, not the strength of their #2.


Denvers depth is a myth. Apart from Brown there is not good players on their bench. The kid Braun could be good in a few seasons but he is a rookie. MPJ, Gordon and KCP are not much better if better at all than CP3, Ayton and Okogie.

The Nuggets play Jeff Green, a certified old bum big minutes. What bench?

Can't believe it was that close at final 2 min. Denver was under epic fire that the world has not seen since Battle of Khasham. I'm very impressed by what Jokic managed to do. If Murray doesn't get to that covid era efficiency, then it's series over sadly.

Time to unleash Peyton Watson…try him on the perimeter for some defense. Jeff Green isn’t the solution at this point.
