I seriously think everyone here in this thread has better basketball opinion than Perkins

Also, it's not so crazy that the team is better when the players are hitting shots. Isn't that the whole point?

You can’t depend on Murray and MPJ

Fixed

Some of you Nugget fans are way too sensitive. You guys just can’t resist bringing the Lakers up. The Mike Malone is still strong in you.

I took an L on my bet, it is what it is. Atleast I’m transparent about it and stick to my guns. Still don’t understand what my bet has anything to do with this series though, it’s pretty apparent when Murray and MPJ don’t show up the Nuggets turn into a pumpkin. They need elite shot making from both those guys to win this series.

I'm sure your take before the series was OKC in 4 or 5 because Lakers fan logic.

They gave them the fouls? The Thunder are fouling way more than Denver. They are begging the refs to call a foul. It has been their strategy all season

Yes that’s true. I’m specifically pointing out that’s his specialty.

Murray is suffocated with the lack of spacing.
No player on any team got it going from the field except Frei Throwegious Merchander.

DEN should have AG bring the ball up when the starting 5 are in. Murray is getting full court pressed and trapped every damn time when he does

It’s about generating emotion and getting people riled up which can lead to eyeballs or his takes going viral(and he’s cheap). No one in their right mind thinks Perkins is a better basketball analyst than Legler, Chiney, or Jay Williams. ESPN think he can be their Barkley

I come back from taking a shower and see the score… I thought it was the start of the second quarter.

Man… playoff basketball.

Goddam it Jok, why?

And here comes the Nuggets as expected

These playoffs show actual physical basketball makes all of these star players look worse

Denver just playing with their food. It's all good we got this

Thought it was clearly a 2 by Jokic, not 3.

Denver has 20+ FTA. Shush.

Who wins Game 4?
