Nuggets offense doing a complete 180 from last game
The disparity between Murray’s best and worst never ceases to astonish me

He is not even being defended well he is missing wide open shots. Porter finally hit a shot maybe that will get him going.

It is quite amazing. It feels like LA should be up 15+pts and in complete control of this but Jokic's dominance has allowed DEN to hang around and keep close. They are right in this.

2 point game! Davis has already played 30 minutes with 2.5 left in third. Don’t think he will be strong down stretch

That Jokic play where he grabbed the offensive rebound with one hand and zipped a pass out to Brown for 3, all in one motion, was so darn good. Makes it look so easy, but his decision-making is so much faster than anyone else it’s unreal

Murray playing right into LA’s hands by insisting they do the slow roll inbounds. What a frustratingly stupid thing to do with how much better LA’s defence is once set.

Ohh, what a block by AD on the tap in by Jokic. Ah goaltend. I thought looked good in real time. Yeah, it is a goaltend.

Van gundy is shamelessly rooting for the lakers this entire game. It’s very weird.

He whined about the flagrant foul that was pretty clear for a quarter now he going on and on about a very clear goaltend. He is allowed to bet on these games or something?

someone mentioned in this thread, or maybe another one 'whoever wins the WCFinals will win the title'.  Watching this game, I don't come to the same conclusion.  Neither team is impressing me in this game.

I mean Jokic is impressive with his play, but the team....
