Coming out of highschool he was considered a better prospect than SGA.

Also Chris Finch knew him from his rookie year. He was an assistant for the Pels. So NAW wasn't a throw-in for Minny.

They are getting him and Slow Mo mixed up.

Very good quarter by Denver. Murray and Porter both have 8 points, and they held Minnesota to 20 points. Jokic didn't get the offense going but that's really the only thing to improve on.

Best quarter Denver has played this series so far. Murray and Porter carrying the load at this point

Uh oh, probably non-Jokic minutes coming to start the 2nd quarter

28-20, Denver.

8 pt lead is the largest lead (so far) for Denver in this series.

This is my issue. If the refs want to call ticky-tack bull then you hit the paint and get to the line.

I believe this is the first time this playoffs it has happened. Baby steps.

Nice quarter for Denver. Good defense and Murray looks leagues better.

The Nuggets just need to pretend that they're playing the Lakers and all the shots will hit.

Yup. Doing a great job.

idk why ESPN refuses to utilize his talent. I assume he just refuses to do the hot-take garbage so they can't put him on anything other than Scott Van Pelt at 1am EST.

Maybe he can go to NBC if they get the NBA?

Agree with ya'll, I dislike almost all commentators but Legler is no gimmicks commentator with good insights and a normal non-annoying voice.

i think legler is top notch - doesn't have an ego - and is 100% about calling the game and not in any shtick. the thing is he's all about the game so that won't translate well to tv panels since that's all about hot takes and entertainment value. but as the color commentator, he's not on the screen and he's just adding value to the game by audio - which i think he is perfectly suited for.

MIN defense not as good as game 2 due to the early fouls. They need to stay disciplined

It’s tight in that building right now. Happens sometimes when teams without much playoff success get these big home games in crucial spots.

I have. WCF 2020.

Patches Perry · Post #4198 » by **Patches Perry** » Sat May 11, 2024 2:16 am

Despite the good quarter by Denver, their top 3 guys all played 12 minutes. Will be interesting to see how they navigate rest for them.

Just nothing falling.

Who wins GAME 7 and goes to the WCFs?
