* Jokic defers early and doesn't try to fight the double teams
* The Others find a groove
* Defense forced to loosen up on Jokic
* Jokic takes over
Denver has played this style effectively a number of times this year.
Didn’t watch the game but why are they doubling Jokic early?

You don't like the fact that it's logical that he should have been suspended, that's all.
He made a stupid decision and got a fine. He learned his lesson and won't do it again. It wasn't a Draymond Green like incident, and it wasn't a fight. Only a softie wants players suspended left and right for things like that, but NBA fans are super soft these days.
One of us is bias towards a team in this series, the other person me is not. I just think if you're going to be a professional you should be smarter and if you can't handle that, then too bad you get suspended. I don't have a dog in this fight I don't care who wins the series, you do.
No impartial observer wants a key player suspended for a playoff game because of a dumb mistake.

Or it's like 2020 Finials. Lakers up 2-0. Heat win game 3. Just when a bunch of people think Heat is going to come back, Lakers won game 4 and the series 6-2.
Miami weren't defending champions with the best player in the world lol

Yes, I feel sorry for DEN fans and PHX fans.

You are a Dallas fan who is scared of Denver. Don't act like you aren't biased as well.

A: Not throw things on the court, because I'm very important to the Nuggets and they can't afford for me to get suspended
B: Throw things on the court, because it's the playoffs and the league won't suspend me anyway
B was the correct answer, because they didn't suspend him.
Imagine wanting refs to decide a series and not the actual players.
Oof.

The refs took the T-wolves out of the game right from the get go.
