I don't understand why Malone won't play the other bench players. The Suns went from being a 3 man team to having a deeper team than Denver does.

Love Braun, but he can't guard Durant (his man) and he has no offensive presence.
I'd be looking to bring in Watston if I were Malone.

Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy

Joker 2-9. Why couldn’t he have that 53 point game today. But I knew he wasn’t going to be as good

I know people are going after Murray and for a good reason but Jokic hasn't done chit so far either. Looking way too similar to Ben Simmons out there for my taste.

What a colossal failure this will be if Denver loses. Top seeded season heroes like Atlanta and Milwaukee before them.

Jokic might've used all his reserves in the last game. His touch isn't there today.

Eh. Boston wasn't 5000 ft above sea level last year.
I don't get it - Denver lost in the first round to eventual winners GSW who defeated the Cs in the finals...

They need a reliable second scorer and they don't have one. Just a collection of guys who are either hot or ice cold.
