Murray’s availability for game 1 is a game-time decision. Just reported.

Even after 5 days off? Not ideal.

Malone and Murray sounded confident in their post-practice interviews a day or two ago. Malone said everybody was ready to go. KCP was okay, too.

no analyst is picking Wolves over Nuggets in this series; Wolves should use this fact to excel and prove analysts wrong

It looks like this injury isn’t going away and regardless of what happens tonight, this will likely be the end of the Nuggets season. It’s not like this is the finals and we’re in the home stretch. He needs to be able to play 40 mins a night at an elite level for another month and a half. I don’t see it happening.

Nuggets just tweeted that he’s playing but it feels like it’s a bit of a ticking time bomb. How much longer will his calf hold up?

I disagree I think he does have to play at an elite level for them to win the chip again.

I hope I’m wrong I want them to win.

Not a surprise. ESPN only covers and cares about the Lakers.

I'm thinking that MPJ and McDaniels do a bit of scoring in this one

The wolves are a very good team, but i think this is really gonna come down to the health of murray and KCP. If they look like themselves I think the nuggets find a way to take the series.

Only Kenny got a black hand shake from the high school player, everyone else got a white handshake. Just like that Key & Peele skit
