I didn’t care about the MVP race initially but now I’m actually angry they pity gave it to Embiid. What a travesty.

THE JOKER AT THE BUZZER

Lakers were scorching hot that quarter but only cut into the lead by 4. One more run from DEN should do it
Their offence is just stupidly good. Can’t double Jokic with all the shooting, can’t cheat too much because Jokic will find the open man, can’t switch because Jokic will abuse it so have to fight through screens, and can’t play zone.

I feel for Ham. Davis and LeBron are playing well too

Still a ballgame. C'mon Denver, put it away. Is Joe Mazzulla on that Denver sideline coaching?

Denver should be up by 40, but they've kept the Lakers in striking distance instead.

  • GOT IT!!!
As good as Denver is on offense their defense can be cooked as well. The J's would be licking their lips against them.

Some astonishingly bad defensive decisions from Braun and Gordon. Giving Hachimura too much respect as a shooter, whilst giving Reaves none. Dumb as a brick on D

Didn’t realize Jokic flops like Embiid.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Nuggets are making some timely shots

They need to do better on defense though as the series progresses

I like how both coaches are calling timeouts with no hesitance when a run is being made. This is something Joe should take note of.

Probably because he doesn’t, otherwise he’d live at the line much the same way.

Their defence progressively improved as the Phoenix series went on. I imagine it will be the same here
