When I saw Tim Legler calling the game that's when I knew the Nuggets had this in the bag.
Please explain

Jokic is in his head. Pretty solid defensive adjustment by Denver this game.

Yeah if I am Phoenix I am pissed. It went from "This is how we officiate games now" to "Well unless there is a chance the reigning champs are threatened to be swept"
We haven't seen a game called like this in months but here comes Tony Brothers and it is unwatchable garbage.

I think this is the 2nd time Denver has had to lead at halftime this playoffs.

Wolves don't look as good when they're not allowed to tackle their opponents to get stops.

I agree because I think Minnesota could use his size, but Jordan McLaughlin was a 47% three-point shooter on low volume, this season.

Problem with NBA reffing is so much of it is interpretation, not actual hard rules.

Nah that's not true Philly and especially Embiid got a ridiculous whistle in the playoffs too. I dunno it just is what it is. No good just getting worked up over it.

He was shooting 42% from the field and 20% from 3 before this game for the series. Its the Wolves defense and Naz Reid may be the best Jokic defender and he was out last year when they played. Jokic isnt gonna start being his usual uber efficient self in this series against this team and defender.

Which is why Foster and Brothers are such an issue. You are beholden to their mood.

Good we need Murray to step and glad he is. I don’t care if Jokic misses all of his shots if we win this game it doesn’t matter

He is just too passive right now. Under no circumstances, should Murray get more shots than a 3 time MVP

Jokic is gonna have to turn it on if they expect to hold this lead in the 2nd half. Very bad for his standards
