Murray has got to be one of the most underrated players in the league.

Just as expected the Nuggets experience champions and the Wolves youth and inexperience it’s on full display. Nuggets are coming outta the west.
That is what scares me about DEN vs BOS.

Denver are the only team that can out-experience Boston. Boston have more experience than any of the other teams. Only Denver has more them.
Definitely which is why I’m so salty. If we meet them which if Denver wins is likely, I’m having a hard time seeing a different outcome then what happened when we faced the Warriors sadly.

Minnesota can’t shoot. They are getting shots.

Other than winning against Miami let’s not pretend Boston has no experience. They’ve been in the ECF and the finals.

If you want to fear anything it’s bostons inability to close games

Also let’s not count out Dallas yet. They play defense and have actual shooting something Minnesota doesn’t have

  • Yup
Conley has been brutal

It’s crazy how many different ways Jokic can dominate a game.
Yup

Minnesota cannot shoot much worse than that.

12-38 FGA for 31.6% FG% 4-16 3PT 25% 3PT%

That includes Towns 5-6 FGA. So the rest of the team was 7-32 from the field. Only 21.9% FG%.

Conley 1-7 FGA. Ant 1-7 FGA. NAW 0-4 FGA. That is your backcourt. They are a combined 2-18 FGA. 11% FG%.

That’s horrid and it’s not even defense. They just can’t shoot.

This is why most people wanted Minnesota to find a way in this series. Their offense is average.

I’m talking more the the nightmare that Jokic is and how he shreds us up and owns KP. Murray also turns into prime Curry against us it feels like. I know our reg season games were close against them but it feels like they’ve always had the upper hand against us and never sweat us. We’ve had their number but that was at least what 2-3 years ago maybe longer

So now this is the second game 7 that another up-and-coming star who is constantly compared to Tatum is coming up small in the big moment. Hmmm, it's almost like people undervalue how good Tatum truly is, especially in back-to-the-wall situations.

Jokic has 15 rebounds already. 13pts 15reb 5ast.
Jamal Murray has 24pts. 8-15 FGA 5-5 FTA.

MPJ, A Gordon and KCP have only 13pts combined.
Their bench has only 3pts.

It is the Jokic & J Murray show.
