Jokic is smart enough you can leave him on the floor with 4 fouls.

The Nuggets are typically terrible without him.

People are going to pretend this isn't rigged. Denver has to hit every shot or lose.

Lakers are more dangerous running through Reaves than Lebron. This guy is crazy.

Can't leave Reaves open like that. Bad defense by Denver there.

The calls LA is getting compared to the calls Denver is not getting....Sac fans watching this game should have been given a trigger warning ahead of time.

knocked Murray over no foul and phantom fouls left and right at the other end

btw, Jokic's 3rd foul was bogus too
the 4th was a real travesty, Denver will take game 4 easily
