Playoffs Game 4 WCSF: Denver Nuggets (2) @ Portland Trail Blazers (3) - 7:00 PM ET

[The Rebel]

What a game by Murray and Jokic, those free throws were great.

I know that barton has come up big at the end of the games, but he has still been a huge negative overall and him cutting into Beasley's minutes is ridiculous considering Beasley has been the only bench guy who has shown up every night. Hell I think having Barton in over Craig almost cost us this game, Barton was giving up as much on defense as he was producing on offense even late in teh 4th quarter.

It is funny how White, Derozan, McCullom, and Lillard all have off nights when Harris is guarding them, but yet people still go out of their way to avoid giving Harris any credit.

Murray and Jokic may be 2 of the toughest young players I have ever seen in the NBA. Anybody else see the clothesline Murray was on the receiving end early in the game that was uncalled? Both guys are taking and giving huge physical shots, and I love that they are not backing down.

Millsap was huge and very productive when Jokic and Murray were on the bench, he needs to continue that so that we can get those 2 more rest.

The narrative is Barton pulled through when we needed him... we actually needed you all game buddy.

We can't overplay the plumkic line-up especially if the 4 on the other end is basically a SF 3 years ago. No coincidence that Curry lit us up during those minutes... switches on defense often create wide gaps and turned heads

Well, I agree Barton came through, sort of. I'd still rather see Beasley and/or Craig playing at the end of games because their defense is better. Beasley would be my first choice because his offense is better than Craig's.

Millsap 20-10 type of game was probably a key factor for this win, following by Murray great scoring day and awesome defense in the 3rd quarter. Jokic just being Jokic, 21-12-11 is something like average numbers from him during this post-season. Against Spurs, nobody expected from Millsap to outplay Aldridge, but against Blazers I expected from him to outclass Aminu. In the 1st half of the game#1, he already scored 17 points, but then he is not being so dominant, despite continued to produce double-doubles (17-13 for example in game#3, but playing about 50 minutes). We need from him 20-10 type of games in this series, he has a good matchup there vs Aminu and Zach Collins.

Isn't it funny how we take a "Jokic triple-double" for granted? Clearly he's the MVP of almost every game we play. But yeah, Millsap's double-double was huge!!! And Murray's play on both ends was much better. I'm looking for him to be more consistent, but even the super-stars have off days. It just seems like he has too many of those IMO.
