Pass the ball Jamal
Fire Malone
Take kcp out he had 2 points and let booksr almost get 50… put braun in
That blond guy from Suns had too many rebounds..
We cannot give this Suns team another game, let finish these guys off, Nuggets!! Seek and destroy EVERYTHING on SUNDAY!!!!!!!! Go Nuggets!!! END THIS!!!!
The next game must be won，Now the pressure is on us
Game 4 is a must win.
Im glad coach Malone told the truth, the defence on Booker was trash, specialy first few shots that got him going
To many balls lost by Murray / bad shot selection or mindless dribbling / He have zero defense , only few assist and he is point guard , he should create to others . When you allow opponent to go into paint defense collapse . If they lose next game they could be easily out . They should assign Braun or Brown or Pope to be all the time with Booker , even in toilet if he go .
Why is MPJ not getting more touches?
Jamal sold this one
NEXT GAME 4 IF YOU CONTINUE THE SAME ROTATION …STARTING FIVE+ ONLY JEFF, BB, CB WITHOUT THROWING MORE BODIES ON KD AND BOOKER LIKE PWAT AND CANCAR THAT WILL BE MY LAST GAME I WATCH FOR THIS SEASON. YOU PROMISED TO INCLUDE MORE PLAYERS IN YOUR ROTATION AND PLAY DEFENSE WITH MORE BODIES ON THEIR KEY PLAYERS,… BUT YOU ARE PLAYING OVER AND OVER AND OVER THE SAME PREDICTABLE ROTATION AND YOU DIDN' T KEEP YOUR PROMISE TO PLAY WITH 10 PLAYERS INSTEAD OF 8
Can someone finally tell Murray and Malone Murray is neither Curry nor Booker? why they keep blowing steam up that guy's a$$ is a total mystery. He wants his 50-a-game, can't make them but keeps trying – even if his pigheadedness and overblown ego makes them lose games. Murray had cost Nuggets quite a few games this season and, if this goes on, he'll cost them the championship too
Tell Murray to PASS THE F-ING BALL! stop gunning for 50 when he can't out-Booker Booker, he OBVIOUSLY can't, why you keep telling him to "keep shooting"? is he your baby, your wife or what? man that's infuriating! If Nuggs lose this chance, I honestly want Nikola to move to another team, something's clearly wrong with Malone's head/authority/leadership/whatever, he seems to think it's his job to make a star out of Murray and not to get that ring, OR he's too weak to confront Murray and have him face the facts
Murray was dog ass tired at the end of this game and yet every single action had him involved. Jokic IS your best player, run some post ups or something different to at least give Jamal a rest at some point. The dude is involved in every offensive set and he has to guard Devin Booker on the other end, this was a game where it looked like no one was coaching.
Man, you should try with Peyton Watson once, kid is tall and great defender.
Why was KcP in at the end? He didn't even travel with team, he still in Denver. Was a no show on offense, no show on defense
Suns needed Huge games by Booker and KD, needed some absolute homecooking by refs. Booker should of fouled out, Payne hit Jokic in Balls, remember Payne was not even hit when joker swiped ball two years ago. I knew the suns would get one and booker was trash talking to nuggets at end of game, nuggets win Sunday, come back to Denver and win in 5. Can't let them win Sunday cuz they win Sunday come back to Denver and win Denver is toast. Malone needs to approach Sunday as a must win and malone I love ya brother but sometimes you need to ride the refs like Crybaby Month Williams does. The longet the series goes chance Paul comes back .Denver should of been looking to end this series. Classic nuggets I saw last night
That Second qtr looked like the no energy team I saw at times during playoffs. Take away that qtr and nuggets win game still even tho officials was awful and booker couldn't miss. Kcp majorly disappointed in last night. I thought he was here for his defense. He let booker go off and he no showed on Offense. In 4th I would of went with Bruce with starters instead of KCP. He was awful. He should be in locker room telling the guys this game is on me. He no showed on offense and defense
It's amazing how KD and Booker can literally push off everytime they drive and it's not a foul, nuggets get smacked driving to rim and it's no call. That challenge they said Murray was not in legal guarding position. Booker lowered his shoulders and ran him over, he does this all the time. Nuggets need to be heated cuz at end of game Booker was staring down Denver bench yapping like he always does. Nuggets should of done what Paul did at end of game 1 and fouled booker hard. Send a message. Disappointed in nuggets last night big time, it was that 2nd qtr and then they used all their energy in 3rd to come back. Kcp didn't even leave denver
The suns are so unlikeable.especially booker. Who tuens tl nuggets bench at end of game running his mouth. Like dude your team won one game. When braun fouled him at emd i thought he should lf done it way harder, like knock him on his ass like Paul did Mal
Malone is the kind of guy that makes a horrible mistake and does it again to be sure that he made a mistake. I'm not concerned about this series but Malone's stubbornness will cost us a championship when we are down by more then 5 give the f ball to MPJ he is the best 3 point shooter on this team it's the second time we lose a game in this playoffs for the same reason and he doesn't adjust. Jamel Murray needs a series look in the mirror he has been horrible but his stats won't show it dribble vs brick that's Jamel's mo
Why dont you think you would be able to sweep this team? That is part of the problem. You should've had the mentality of we WANT AND CAN SWEEP THIS TEAM. Again, letting opportunities slip away.
If you let a selfish man become the center of attraction then you are going to lose the game again. Thete are good shooters in the team but murray have to be your mam even if he misses a lot of shots and drible till time expires or ball taken out of his hands !
Jokic should shoot more when he is open.
Man…there’s some fair weather fans bellyaching on this page. Y’all should be ashamed.
It’s one game. It’s normal to have an off night and drop a game. Even the 96 Bulls had off nights. Relax Denver fans! Support your team. There are gonna always be highs & lows. Be patient.
