Lackluster first half finally caught up to the Nuggets I think. Not bad though if it only bites you 1/4 times but they should be more juiced at home

That's the Lakers version of KCP that I remember


Think he was remembering the days he’d be on that court early getting shots up pre-game.

Murray shooting like ****. Gordon and KCP a combined 9 points. Bench has 5. You've not gonna win a lot of games with that little production.

Nuggets look slow, Jokic looks mid even with statline
Aaron Gordon, Devin Booker, Tyrese Halliburton, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic all made the Conference Finals.

Where’s Joel Embiid?

Did Denver really not think starting slow and have 10+ deficient could cost them a game?

Yes, but Porter Jr has 25pts which isn’t typical for him; even more so for Gordon last game with 29-15.
