It's also on the team to give them something to get excited about.

In their defense, they're use to ice fishing this time of year.

Big problem is that it completely opens the lane up for Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokić to create offensively. Game Two was a huge anomaly, Minnesota’s defense craters without Rudy Gobert.

Jokic now gaming the refs
The Greatest of All Time debate in basketball is essentially who has the greatest basketball resume of the player who has the best highlights instead of who is the best player

Jokic is usually right on challenges. I'm glad he only says to challenge when he is pretty sure he is right. Was a bit sceptic

Denver needs to put Jokic in the post and play him like McHale.

The man is a visionary. People mock him, but I am gonna take an amazing drunken dump next season and still manage to get back to my seat in time for the 2nd half to start.

I don't dislike Mark Jones but I have Mark Jones weariness. "Lacerates the lane" is just so contrived.

Why is it when I would play basketball on a street court the superior players would just win every time, but in the NBA it goes back and forth. RIGGED.

If Gordon is hitting 3s its over.

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”
