Well, that was ugly but the Nuggets will take it. Some bad passing/sloppiness but also some legitimately good defense by both sides for spurts.

[Dubnation]

Steph had a Marcus Smart flashback and said nope.

I like it. Let the Warriors playoff youngsters see what playoff grit can look like.

Warriors are winning this game though.

Worst Jokic game on the offensive end but his best defensive game in the series

[life_saver]

Draymond is such a bad scorer these days

These days?

there was a time when he was shooting ok from 3.

[Big J]

I would prefer Jokic go to drop coverage on the screen and just live and die by Steph's pullups, rather than sellout and leave Green open so he can set someone up for a layup or a 3.

That would be exactly what the Warriors want.

[dygaction]

Splash Triplets led the team with 8, 9, and 10 points, but the team overall energy is not great.

[G R E Y]

What a weird O half. Nuggets have three starters combined for 9 points. Warriors have one player in double figures. Both teams are struggling from 3.

They have to make a choice: either sellout on Curry, leaving Green open to set up other players, or drop back in coverage and live and die by the pull-ups. Steph's been off the whole game, I'd rather them have Jokic drop back.

I wonder why he hasn't played Bjelica......

Dubs own 3rd quarters, probably not the best to give Steph clean open looks like that.

people basically know Draymond would not attack instead lob to a easy target, so they just wait to defend his lob... his tricks getting old

[falcolombardi]

this series has mimicked warriors season

started as a defense juggernaut with a lethsl offense then thread water as a strong defensive team with a sloppy offense

they looking a lot more mortal than the stsrt of the series

[TinmanZBoy]

Steph has no gravity in this game...

[cpower]

if the result of playing death lineup is Draymond putting up shots then we might as well not playing it.

It's one of the things that have kept the Nuggets in the game in the first half.

Jokic stepped up his defense in this game. Malone better not change the defensive strategy.

Bingo.
