What scares me isn't even the score, it's the fact that zero adjustments were made. You'd think Doc would be coaching for his job right now, but instead it's like he knows his job is secure no matter what, so he doesn't have to change anything.

At least the score is tied because Kawhi was 1 for 4 and PG was 1 for 7 for 5 points combined. The others HAVE to step up this game because they've done nothing the past couple of games

No kawhi yet full Jokic show in display. Still we are even bc some role players decide to show up a little.

Trez shouldn't even be in the rotation anymore. Yes, I'm all for going small with Green.

I already had a bad feeling when it was announced that Noah is inactive today. How do you go into Game 7 after blowing the last two games in identical fashion and still not change anything?

First half Harrell hasn't been the issue, nothing special, but he's been fine. Harrell just doesn't need to have 2nd half minutes



Trezz was on a tight leash in Game 6 and I expect will be in Game 7. We survived his minutes, which is all we can hope for. We need minutes at the 5, versus Denver's best player. Zu +0, Trezz +0.

Anybody cheering against him now is garbage.

PG is the bigger concern, shooting 1-7. :o

They need to be attacking the basket not settling for

A "tight leash" isn't enough. He can't be out there at all.

Anyone still defending Doc's coaching at this point is cheering against the team.

He's hid Harrell on Millsap and they're clearly playing differently on D, switching, double teaming.

Lou and Tree need to keep attacking. Kawhi isn't going to exert max effort until 2nd half.

Come on, putting a forward on Jokic. Doubles coming from different places to disrupt Denver's offense (the 7 turnovers weren't all unlucky). Don't do Skip Bayless analysis that Mark Cuban tore him up for where we aren't watching the details

Low-key hoping we don't get TOO big of a lead.

Worried the Nuggets are trying to conserve Jokic’s energy for the second half. Will we adjust or will we use these hot starts to get baited into a trap?

This man is garbage. I'm taking his name off his quote and I suggest others do too. Still rooting against his own team in a Game 7 ffs. He is not one of us.

We're up by 9; Trezz is plus+9. I think he still looks terrible but we're getting away with playing him so far. Zu has 2 fouls and the longer we can save him from exposure the better. We need minutes.

____________________

ADD: Zu comes back at the 7:30 mark and IMMEDIATELY draws his 3rd foul. Green at the 5.
