If Denver had Brown I'd bench Murray immediately

“Best player in the world” looks awfully disinterested for a must win game.

Gonna be a tightly called game for sure. Who does that help though? Will the Nuggets bench play better tonight?

This is better body language and effort from the Nuggets.

You can watch two different NBA playoff games and you'd think you're watching two different sports. This vs. Game 2?

They did the same thing game 4 vs Phoenix. Wolves backed off and turned it into a track meet..
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

The Joker looks resigned. Denver has no bench, no relief for their star player.
