Rudy had no on ball defense at all for Jokic…none. Too light, slow anticipation and slow footed. Just a bad matchup for him.

I don't care if its Nikola Jokic or Nikola Tesla, you give any player that many shots inside of 8 feet and you are going to get destroyed.
Naz is the only guy who has guarded Jokic who has been the least bit physical or shown any urgency.

Am I the only one who reads in the body's attitude that the team is emotionally and psychologically absent? We shouldn't have gone to 2 - 2. When I said that the inertia of the series has changed completely in their favor, that's what I meant.

However, K.Anderson still on the pitch is unacceptable.

Don’t we hard double Jokic at some point. He is killing us one on one. Make someone else shoot.

We need some way to slow Jokic down. It’s hopeless right now.

Give Luka Garza a shot at guarding Gobert, it can't get any worse.

Poking in again to say that Kyle Anderson is garbage defensively, and we need to stop pretending like he isn’t a complete dumpster fire. Less than worthless on both ends.

DEN defense does exactly what our defense is supposed to do: they make us long range two point shooting team.

Jokić is absolutely destroying Rudy.

Gobert is useless right now. Why don’t we double on the catch.

Why don't we move the ball and try the open 3? I don't get why the coaches insist we drive into a crowd. I don't get it.

Yep can't get any worse.

This series is bringing back all those bad feelings I had about Rudy Gobert and the Rudy Gobert trade.
