SGA was silly for that shot. Still silly even if he made it.

Tatum wasn't looking tired last night.


Also, you don't rest him because he's tired at the end of the third. You rest him so he's not tired at the end of the fourth.

But we'll see! I usually hate that move with a passion... hope it pans out this time.


NO you play him so you are still there at the end

Bro SGA needs to carry these last 5 mins. Prove to the world why you’re a top player in the league.

So many air balls. Someone close the damn door. It's drafty in the arena.

Playing Jokic and Murray the entire 2nd half rarely ever works out man. Giving them a minute off by using your timeouts smartly was the right move.

Denver looking gassed and that full 3rd quarter blitz is really catching up to them

Joker Murray and Braun will end up with 42-45 minutes of playing time this game. With their 2 stars getting tired Denver is having problems scoring. Adelman is rolling the dice here.

I’m actually shocked that Denvers championship pedigree isn’t carrying them in this quarter.

What was Booth thinking building a roster with so many non shooters?

That’s why you need a bench which Calvin Booth failed them on. The game is so fast paced and tiring

Why are those intentional rip-throughs still being rewarded.
