Weirdly I think Curry coming off the bench benefits the Warriors because the other guys were just playing the Nuggets to a draw, and then Curry would come in completely change the game.

Bingo.


which lineup would u guys prefer for hthe Dubs?
Looney is a prob cuz Joker can actually defend and always be in position for defensive rebounds when he can ignore Looney on offense

The death lineup, even if Dray takes the occasional bad shot - still takes Jokic out of the paint and that's vital for the Dubs imo

Jokic has no help narrative is utter nonsense. His teammates are not big name players but they can all play.

We really don't have one, truthfully. It's just a bad matchup.

You can apply that to every team in the league. Compared to other playoff teams, Jokic has a very weak supporting cast

Nuggets made a huge adjustment. Playing Jokic at the 3 pt line draws Green out of the paint and lets the rest of the Nuggets feast in the paint.

Jokic came out pretty active in the 3rd

No they can't. Don't be fooled by single game performances.

They're role players and none of them can be compared to Klay or Draymond, for example.

Jokic has that Lebron playoff tendency, the more he plays in a series, the more comfortable he gets.

At least the Warriors aren't capitalizing on Jokic's turnovers.
