If I was Denver, I'd be worried about how MPJ has looked today. He took a hard hit on his shoulder the other night. He is trying to play through it but he hasn't been good. He has 5pts 4reb in 27min on 2-7 FGA with bad defense.
He isn't worth having on the floor right now ... except, Denver's bench is so bad there is nobody else that they can turn to that is any good.
P Watson is the most logical guy but his lack of shooting makes things difficult for Denver when he plays alongside C Braun. More Russell Westbrook I guess. With J Murray playing SG and C Braun playing forward.
MPJ was already struggling with a calf injury before this shoulder injury. He might be done. That is the real worry for DEN. This game is a lost cause. But if MPJ is going to be this for the remainder of the series, the series is lost too.
