He's got tons of guts as he showed in 2019 with his heroics that will forever cement him in Blazer lore. But he's just simply outmatched by Jokic in this series. Glad he's on the team as he can be a pain in opponents' sides on the glass, all the same.

I mean Jokic has gotten better since then also, I think the Jokic of 2021 is better than the Jokic of 2019.

Will Stotts rest Lillard to start the 4th? Kind of want him to stay on the floor --- a win in Game 5 would be massive.

Absolutely. He's a favorite for the MVP and deservedly so. His game has developed in leaps and bounds since 2019.

Portland's gotta survive these non-Lillard minutes. They did well surviving the Nurkless minutes, so hopefully they can continue to put pressure on Denver.

**** 6-0 run by the Nuggets with a foul that led to 3 FT's and then another 3 pointer hit.

Still plenty of time. But CJ losing the handle there was bad.

Dame just changes the whole dimension of the game.

Oh my God I don't know how we got saved from those multiple rebounds and bunnies. That's crazy.

They are giving Denver every **** foul they possibly can.

Whew! Just like that, it's tied.

I don't want this game to end.

That's not an offensive foul.

Fouling Nurkic out this way is an absolute joke on the part of the refs.

Well, crap.

Why on **** earth did Nurk pickup two very stupid fouls in about 1 minute?

Melo has had a few bad plays this game: the play at the end of the 3rd, the foul on the 3 point shot, and that silly turnover. He's had some big plays as well, but man, you'd like to get those back.

It's going to be hard to win this game with Nurk fouled out.
