If Denver had Brown I'd bench Murray immediately
** Luka made The Finals without Brunson
** Embiid is the only MVP in NBA history to never make a conference final
** Philly won multiple playoff games without MVP Embiid
** LeBron missed the playoffs with Davis
** Steph missed the playoffs with Klay

“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..

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