Reminds me of game 3 against the Clips. Went 3-1 after that game.

Haha. A guy I used to work with who played college ball always said if a team is hot in the first half, don’t count on it in the second half (and vice versa). Maybe there’s something to it, but this game is about to get out of hand. 70% from the field vs 33.3% and it looks like it.

Yeah brutal start for the Nuggs. It’s not like we’re not getting good looks either. 3 or 4 wide open 3’s missed. OKC hitting theirs.

They definitely force turnovers, but I know you watched the game and saw a number of unforced turnovers on Denver’s part. Goal should be to commit no more than 10. Not saying we need to shoot 40% from 3 to win. Last night was 31% for the game and Murray didn’t give us much at all and still won with 18 turnovers. Between both of the teams, my homer goggles say the biggest problem is OKC’s rebounding. Every single Nugget that played last night had at least one offensive rebound: AG 7, Jokic 5, Braun 4. We’re not used to having that many second chance opportunities, but will gladly take them if OKC doesn’t want to prioritize crashing the boards on D.

This. The Nuggets far from played their best game. We rebounded much better than expected, but I think part of that is OKCs team allowing it. Against the Clips in game 7, we shot 38% from 3. If we shoot a similar % and play similar D and rebounding to game 1, even with the turnovers we’ll be in every game. Last night shot 31% from 3, but we shot 8-17 in the second half which made the comeback possible. Really want to see less turnovers, because the Nuggets made it much harder on themselves than it needed to be last night. Even Jokic had a handful of bad TO’s. Murray just playing a decent game would be a massive help. He needs to thank Russ and CB today. Also loved Russ playing most of the 4th with MPJ sitting. If MPJ ain’t shooting well, that’s the move every night. That said, Nuggets win game 2 and I see the series as over. Nuggets have the benefit of their home games being on more fan’s drinking nights/times: Friday night (G3), Sunday early afternoon (G4), Thursday night (G6). The crowd will be insane Friday night regardless, but a chance to go up 3-0, it will be dummy loud.

Funny enough so did my espn gamecast/box score on the app. It froze at like 98-88 with 9 and change left in the 4th all the way through to the end of the game.

I think part of it is OKC doesn’t really have any bigs defenders that wear on you like the Clips and Wolves have. Easier to run when you’re not getting bodied constantly.

Dare I say this was an atrocious loss on OKC’s part haha

Unbelievable game. Seemed OKC was really just playing with their food up 8-11 in the 4th quarter and couldn’t put the Nuggs away. Huge, huge win. Feels good to be on the other side of a 4th quarter collapse.

Yeah a Russ 3 was not the shot we wanted there and he’s shooting a bit better lately. Murray has been cold since the first but would have rather have him find his shot there.

6 more points for Jokic and I hit my parlay. In the game in the 4th all I can ask for. The new Rocky has been doing crazy shit because he can’t make the half court backwards shot like the old one. From game 5 last Tuesday.

It really is. They’re so deep. Hartenstein being pretty decent for them especially hurts given we could really use him and the 2 2nd round picks the Nuggets gave up for Javale McGee. I mean he’s 16 & 12 at the half. Arguably his best game in some time with how well Zubac played him for 7 games. Jokic, Murray and Russ really are the only 3 playing at least decent, but we still are having too many frantic turnovers and forcing it by the basket from everyone. If we shoot better from 3 in the 2nd half, we have a chance.

Also likely going to happen to the Nuggets.

We need someone to tell us whether Jamal’s daughter is in the arena and if Jamal cuts his pregame short because of 90% of his shots going in during his warm up. As much as I loved Austin sports radio talking about Texas sports all the time, Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsey’s show on the Fan has quickly become a favorite for sports radio.

And here I was thinking people thought Denver would beat OKC next round haha. Don’t think I have blue and gold colored glasses adequate for that viewpoint.
