You’re not stopping Jokic no matter who brings the ball up or who you stick on him. You just gotta hope AG and the bench doesn’t go off again and get average games from Jamal and MPJ.
Darvin Ham, is that you?

To me he is the third best player in the NBA - Luka and Embiid are comfortably ahead of him.

No one commenting on wolves fan/media wanting Jamal to be laid out in the next game. Purposely trying to injury him. That’s pretty low

Might have to sleep on this first before making a decision. LOL

He had it in Game 3 when he shot 8/15 for 19 points. I don't know if we'll see another this series. I am rooting for the Nuggets, though, so I hope we do!

That's not an average game. That's a low volume game.
An avg game is him going 11/23 and scoring 28ppg right now.

Now we're into semantics over what "average" means, but I see your point. He shot well in the 19-point game, he just didn't shoot a lot. If you mean a game more like his regular season numbers, then yeah, that's possible. We shall see.
Wait, what do you mean? LaVine improved his game almost every year up until the point where his body failed him and he couldn't sustain a full season of basketball anymore. Your body failing =/= not working hard.Inspektor1312 wrote:What a series so far... That Game 2 was the most embarrassing game by Denver since Nikola got into MVP mode like 5 years ago, Minny absolutely dismantled them, but what a comeback by the champs!
Great adjustments by Coach Malone, and great execution by the "other guys".
AG was the MVP of Game 4. It's incredible to see just how much that dude improved in every facet of his game since coming to Denver. Seems like the antithesis of someone like Lavine.
I was convinced the Nuggs had them in 6, even after the first game, but no way this Minny team is losing 4 straight, so I guess it's Denver in 7 now
And I just wanna say, It's so awesome not having one or two superteams that have a guaranteed a spot in the finals unless they get injured.
Hopefully that trend keeps dying out as Lebron, KD and the rest of the "ship-jumping" generation retires.
Cheers friends, we're witnessing great basketball.

Flip a coin, I'm in the same boat. I don't think it's over for the Wolves either, usually the result goes the opposite of what I'm thinking right before the game.

But this is sort of a law of averages thing. Just as the Nuggets got healthy and started playing with more intensity, he's due to settle down a bit, and the Nuggets are due to win in Denver imo

It’s not that complicated in my opinion. They had to fine him, they wanted to fine him a lot because he’s a repeat offender, but they can’t fine him as much as Murray. I think this is where the number $75k comes from.
