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.
