Minny came out flat and I think the tighter whistle held their energy down. And Denver's offense is making sooo many less mistakes tonight. I swear Jokic was drunk in game two, and the scary part is he hasn't been real good tonight.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Come on ESPN, could we see a replay of the foul? I’m confident it was one, but people want to see it.

He still looks hungover. The rest of the team is showing up though.

Nuggets went from getting swept to winning this series here in RealGM land. I thought it was going 7 before the series began and still think that way.
After Denver's last loss, I thought they needed to blow things up, but if they win tonight, I don't see them losing again for the rest of the playoffs maybe next year playoffs too.

What about the fact that two coaches have won the NBA title THIS DECADE and lost their job?

Decimating. Eviscerating. Disemboweling.
Mark Jones is the Adam Lefkoe of announcers.
Watching him try to work a quote like he is Clyde Frazier is the worst. He doesn't have the charisma for this.

LOL KAT. There's that goofiness I mentioned earlier. Such a goofy flop attempt.

Love it when Jokic attacks early in the clock. He has such a great sense of when momentum might shift. Very underrated skill to possess.

This **** is predictable as the WWE, they clearly wanted to extend the series tonight. They aren't calling the same basketball game they were the previous 2.

Aaron Gordon hand checks on every **** possession, but McDaniels can’t even breath on his guy.

Every player for Denver who has taken a shot tonight is shooting *over* 50%, except Jokic.

Anthony Edwards needed to quick pass to Towns there, more open.
