It IS telling that Denver could play THIS bad and only drop one game.
They haven't had a single good game all series. I think the Wolves have to be equally the favorite. Denver is due for getting their **** together though. If Murray is back to a 58-60%ts kind of player, they'll be good.
If those 3s start falling, they'll be good. Denver at their best walks anyone. And if they can keep the games vs Minny close, they'll win. You are gonna need to blow out Denver to beat them imo
What if the Lakers and their defense are better than everyone is giving them credit for and that's why the Nuggets didn't look good?
25% on open 3s is bad shooting variance. Murray has been hobbled and just returned to the lineup prior to the playoffs.
The Nuggets hit way more open 3s tonight, and without the free throw discrepancy, this game was a blowout..
LA defended Jokic well, well enough to hold him to 28/16/9 on 68%ts in a 5 game series lol.
Shooting variance is shooting variance.
