jason how worried should i be as a nuggets fan about jokic's wrist sprain? I noticed he wasnt as aggressive as he usually is in the playoffs and he wasnt pulling down those one handed boards and throwing those wrap around passes or one handed baseball passes, his touch was a little off and usually he has the best touch in the nba for a big man. im hoping this doesnt linger too long.
Enjoy the articulate presentation here but I'm now in the 'Timpf is a complete homer camp.' He's about the kinds of blind spots and excuse making that only true biased homers make for their teams. I've also lost respect for his hoops knowledge with his consistently dismissive views of the Nuggets. From a hoops perspective it's hard to understand how an analyst could be as dismissive as most all national people seem to be including Timpf. Seems like group think based on narratives not basketball rule the day. Timpfs take on the game–like virtually all takes on Nuggets games–was about what the opponent did or didn't do. Its' almost never about the Nuggets even when they're dominating a series. Look in the mirror, analysts.
The west is fckn littt its been a min
How we been all season inconsistent. But we can't make Excuses with what who they have out. Congrats too Memphis on a good game. Lets see how game 3 goes, we should get more calls in LA. So we will see how they game changes. DLO for sure getting traded
tha ration between Lakers commenting and the rest of the teams is simply ridiculous. I just dont get it!
Jason looks so disappointed in the thumbnail đ
I know this probably wonât happen but DLo could really help off the bench. Schroederâs poa defense could really be useful against Tyus. But DLo is getting paid 30 mil.
No type of respect for Memphis if they had their 2 Big men this might of been Memphis in 6
holy your so biased Memphis is the 2nd best team in the west stop saying these other teams are better than them
Jamal Murray was the unsung hero? The dude scored 40 how was he unsung? đ man you have some weird takes sometimes
Your out yo mind Kobe is the most skilled player ever .. curry scores a lot of screens
Title is âLakers fallâ not âGrizzlies WinââŚInteresting
Grizzlies just out hustled them, give them credit like you do for other teams bud
Also a fully healthy Grizzlies are not underdogs to this lakers team. Donât cap
Up big, nuggets got really lazy and then shell shocked, went back to their game and won by double digits
Straight facts. Theyâve been playing down to the competition.. itâs a thing . Worst part is Ham. We need another big in there and he wonât play one even when ad is resting đ¤Śđťââď¸
Isaiah Thomas
Everything that you said about the LAKERS is spot on. As a LAKERS fan it was painful watching the team get out-hustled for 85% of the game.
a.d. plays with the consistency of a man who has money on the gameđ
The Nuggets look very good, surprised they donât get more respect. Probably because there is no history with Denver. Their offense is so fluid and their defense looks really good at times. They actually have some really great defensive players with Gordon, KCP and Bruce Brown. Porter and Murray also have improved on defense. Christian Braun off the bench looks like an elite defender. Jokic isnât a rim protector but his positioning is good, he seems to make a few good defensive plays each game that help to make up for some of his liabilities. I can easily see this team in the finals and even winning the whole thing, especially if they were to face Milwaukee. The worst matchup of any team for Milwaukee is definitely Denver.
Did you really go into the Nuggets?
No.
The reason the Timberwolves won the 3rd quarter had nothing todo with the the Timberwolves other than they did not give up. The Nuggets got lazy on defence and all of a sudden were not able to run, that allows the other team to run.
So in the end the Nuggets lost the 3rd quarter.
And even talking about the Nuggets game you have to talk about the lakers. Please be honest and wear a shirt clearly stating "Lakers Simp".
But don't worry you are already starting to waver by the end of this series you should be on the Nuggets bandwagon.
Yeah I am a nuggets fan so bias I guess. But I have been telling people that Timberwolves are not that good of a matchup against Denver specifically because when KAT switches to a small defender KAT is being guarded by Jamal Murray or Bruce Brown who are two very good post defenders. You are not gonna back those two dudes down from the the 3 point line to the paint. KAT has been a non existent player this serious. I think KAT will have a better game in game 3 but I could also see KAT getting a little pouty from his "slump". Even thought its not a slump KAT is just the focus of Denver's defense
Idk, Jason, there was a lot of contact down low on a few of those possessions.
