  1. They definitely force turnovers, but I know you watched the game and saw a number of unforced turnovers on Denver’s part. Goal should be to commit no more than 10. Not saying we need to shoot 40% from 3 to win. Last night was 31% for the game and Murray didn’t give us much at all and still won with 18 turnovers. Between both of the teams, my homer goggles say the biggest problem is OKC’s rebounding. Every single Nugget that played last night had at least one offensive rebound: AG 7, Jokic 5, Braun 4. We’re not used to having that many second chance opportunities, but will gladly take them if OKC doesn’t want to prioritize crashing the boards on D.
  2. 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.
  3. Funny enough so did my espn gamecast/box score on the app. It froze at like 98-88 with 9 and change left in the 4th all the way through to the end of the game.
  4. I think part of it is OKC doesn’t really have any bigs defenders that wear on you like the Clips and Wolves have. Easier to run when you’re not getting bodied constantly.
  5. Dare I say this was an atrocious loss on OKC’s part haha
  6. Unbelievable game. Seemed OKC was really just playing with their food up 8-11 in the 4th quarter and couldn’t put the Nuggs away. Huge, huge win. Feels good to be on the other side of a 4th quarter collapse.
  7. HOLY SHIT LFG NUGGS
  8. Yeah a Russ 3 was not the shot we wanted there and he’s shooting a bit better lately. Murray has been cold since the first but would have rather have him find his shot there.
  9. Tell me about it. Brutal.
  10. 6 more points for Jokic and I hit my parlay. In the game in the 4th all I can ask for. The new Rocky has been doing crazy shit because he can’t make the half court backwards shot like the old one. From game 5 last Tuesday.
  11. It really is. They’re so deep. Hartenstein being pretty decent for them especially hurts given we could really use him and the 2 2nd round picks the Nuggets gave up for Javale McGee. I mean he’s 16 & 12 at the half. Arguably his best game in some time with how well Zubac played him for 7 games. Jokic, Murray and Russ really are the only 3 playing at least decent, but we still are having too many frantic turnovers and forcing it by the basket from everyone. If we shoot better from 3 in the 2nd half, we have a chance.
  12. Also likely going to happen to the Nuggets.
  13. Jalen Rose as coach
  14. Have really enjoyed your posts on potential rotations. Thank you.
  15. We need someone to tell us whether Jamal’s daughter is in the arena and if Jamal cuts his pregame short because of 90% of his shots going in during his warm up. As much as I loved Austin sports radio talking about Texas sports all the time, Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsey’s show on the Fan has quickly become a favorite for sports radio.
  16. And here I was thinking people thought Denver would beat OKC next round haha. Don’t think I have blue and gold colored glasses adequate for that viewpoint.
  17. This I’m hype for. If it’s a tournament with a cash prize I can see players trying a bit harder.
  18. For those that watched the game on tv, did the Westbrook foul on Derek Jones Jr come across as dirty? He set a pick, kind of slowed his roll off the pick, and effectively tripped 55, got a foul called on him and Jones Jr never came back into the game and went to the locker room. At the game, it felt a little eye for an eye because just previous a Clippers rebounder undercut Jamal on his landing trying to get an offensive board and came down awkward on his ankle.
  19. Didn’t have as much confidence coming into the series against the Clips for obvious reasons and maybe one not so obvious one: Zubac plays Jokic better than anyone in the NBA. Thrilled to see aside from game 3 that we’re playing reasonably well with a Jokic more kept in check than we’re used to. At 3-2, life is good.
  20. Yeah this is crazy to me, I get it, but I don’t. It could be argued that vape pen administered quality (rosin) concentrates are much healthier than sparking up flower. Gummies are the safest way to consume with obviously no real respiratory impact assuming someone knows their dosage size. In legal states, many folks go to the pens for ease over flower so it’s just unfortunate the current laws. This right here. Typically am just traveling with flower unless I know I’m going to a jurisdiction that doesn’t disambiguate between concentrates and flower. Much safer way to go.
  21. Uhh, was there a screen scrape of Surly so that the AI written article used “exe” for “Texas Ex”?
  22. Yeah I’m not sure whether the chant was aimed at him not showing up in the playoffs, him getting too many touch fouls called his way in a game that was very physical, or just that he’s an easy person to root against. It did happen right after he got multiple touch fouls on drives that sent him to the line so thinking it may be a little column b and c?
  23. Was at the Nuggs game. Man it was good to see playoff Murray make an appearance. Russ had more ups than downs. MPJ hitting 3’s. AG playing with good spacing and presence inside. CB had a great 3 just before the 3rd followed by a hustle play to stop an easy basket. Jokic got a triple double and still seemed like the most non factor I’ve seen him in the playoffs. True team effort. Did the “Harden sucks” chant come through on tv?
  24. That or he did a field sobriety test and failed that. Would seem without a field sobriety test failure, going to have a hard time making it stick as a DWI. Curious though, doesn’t a vape pen imply THC concentrate in TX which comes with felony offenses for any amount as opposed to misdemeanor possession of personal amounts of flower? Interesting the charges brought forward at this point.
  25. I have a similar reaction to many here between this and the football forum. If he were speeding, but they didn’t detect alcohol, they must have detected weed scent in the car for having probable cause to search, right? You would think with a pen he’d know to have some windows open as a pen doesn’t smell anywhere near as bad as sparked flower. Just dumb in many ways. Would he had to have failed a field sobriety test for them to take him in for DWI with a pen on him vs just charging with possession? Or is the speeding and having it on his possession enough for DWI? If he failed a field sobriety test, charge seems legitimate regardless of substance of cause.
