Jamal Murray makes the Nuggets ‘DANGEROUS’ while Tatum was ‘NON EXISTENT!’ | Numbers on the Board

Like the game against the Nuggets what a segue y’all uh maybe the NBA finest preview we saw the Denver Nuggets pull it out um and get that big dub 2 and 0 versus the Boston Celtics the first to they played against I think it was 101

To 100 in Boston and it showcase why the nuggets are the team to beat even if the Celtics are the better team by record and all the other stuff you know what’s funny about this game is that I think y just so damn good and that Celtics

Lineup at that starting five they have no one who can match up with him that he’s gon to if they do meet in the finals he’s going to force they’re going to force Joe moula to have to tweak his starting lineup in order to match up with him cuz like porzingis don’t want

To bang with him you don’t want to put Tatum like there’s nothing you could really do Al Horford is goingon to have to play way more minutes so that means someone in your starting lineup now has to come out some holiday too yeah so like yeah you realistically have to play

Out hor for now more and like I don’t know who’s coming out of that lineup but somebody got to come out a little bit mhm somebody’s minutes got to drop in order to probably be Pres H and honestly I feel like porzingis they were trying to survive the porzingis minutes when he

Wasn’t on the floor cuz he was so good defensively like blocking shots and then also contributing offensively that man was posting up porzingis just hitting his ass with moves and it it was just nothing that double spin into the live to Aaron Gordon oh my God bro I wanted

To say next 2K he got to have Ariel wizard Hall of Fame for the amount of lives and like putbacks I seen him get this year BR the craziest putback bro when he got all the way downam that was tokish for real when you go and you go get that uh putback yeah

That was that was like that for sure it was cool to see the coach match up though because it started off with uh yic guarding porzingis yeah and then porzingis hit a couple three-pointers cuz joic just didn’t couldn’t get out there in time so they switched it and

They end up putting joic on Drew holiday and allowing one of the more rangy guys to G porzingis and it’s cool to see Mike moula like actually going for it I’m sorry not Mike m Mike Malone going for they talked about them wanting the actual one seed and everything and this

Is a perfect example like they played this game the rotations were like an NBA play off game yeah shout out to Peyton Watson Peyton Watson came Inon wat block love Peyton Watson man he was sometimes H pull up little one dribble two dribble pull up mid-ranges

He was getting to his little sweet spot he’s a guy that I think can can will be the same way I was saying about Jen McDaniels and early in his career to get on the court got to do the defensive then once we start to see him on

The court and get a little bit more responsibility hopefully we’ll be able to see him take you know more responsibility offensive end yeah but to me this what makes Denver so dangerous cuz there’s no other team in the league that closes out better than them oh yeah

Down such when when it comes to hitting crazy shots they got it out of bound like good coaching and play calling they got it and so it’s just hard like you got to be perfect for you to usually close them out they got the triple threat they got a really good coach M

They have the star player and his Duo and then they got Elite level role players mhm KP Aaron Gordon and they won this game without Jamal Murray having a crazy game like Jamal Murray when he got it going this team is dangerous I don’t really know what they going to do like

He had a turnover late in the fourth quarter that almost cost him so he didn’t he didn’t have a good game neither of these teams shot the ball well T was kind of non-existent a big portion of the game um which is which is so crazy to think that in such a big

Magnitude game that he just doesn’t show up no don’t say that he didn’t show up he tried 51 in a game seven before no I’m I’m just saying game oh you said he doesn’t show up instead he didn’t in today’s game if he doesn’t perform well they’re dropping the Jason Tatum memes

You oh yeah yeah I said didn’t I meant to say didn’t show up okay just just want to make sure yeah um he’s defin shown up in big games you’re absolutely right though this one was definitely not one for him this is why this this part of the Season get tough because it’s

Like this is just in theory one game yeah but I think could go they could go in a finals and the Celtics could beat them in six and then this this is just like yeah could but it just seems unlikely in that game the Celtics sh 11 for 38 from three

Celtics is a Celtics hold on the nuget shot four for hold on they shot only or hit only four threes and ended up pulling that game out and a lot of that cuz the best player in the world his shots when it comes down to the club like okay there are possessions with

Every single team back board buz be was just I was like that’s what I say they got the crazy shots in their Arsenal bro you just like whenever you’re really good you also need a little bit of luck they be having it sometimes with those shots bro there big shots late in the

Game where where you’re where every single team when they get down to the clutch time it’s like give the ball to our best player let him do what he going to do when joic does it you can count on a good shot happening 95% of the time

And if it’s him himself taking a shot GG’s he’s going to score because when he’s within seven feet of the basket he’s not going to miss or if he does Miss it’s going to be Aaron Gordon coming to clean it up uh so they got so many good looks and the Boston Celtics

Can replicate that I said on last episode that something something that they had been doing over the last five or so game sample size for the Boston Celtics making me feel intrigued this game they shot the ball poorly but they still got to the basket a bunch um

They’re starting to do that more I think the game against the Knicks half of their shots came at the basket the game against the Philadelphia 76es half of their shots came at the basket and I think last night or in that game it was like 38% and that’s way higher than

Their season average D Brown’s been like attacking a basket real he was cooking Aaron Gordon so it’s just like I I’m not completely turned off by the idea of the cels winning a potential series I think I would still go diver nuggets in it but like they showed us a decent amount of

Stuff I just think that once it comes to the clutch even though their clutch numbers say that they’re really good but the last two games when they went against the uh Cleveland Cavaliers and blew that 20-point lead when it come down to the clutch some of the shots

That they generate and create are not shots that you want you you usually want your best players with the ball in their hands and this one ended up being Drew holiday hitting three uh two three-pointers and get in the layup um in that other game it was a lot of

Dereck white and I think the time they played against the the Denver Nuggets last Dereck white hit the game in a shot instead of it going to a Tatum or brown and seeing what they can create um in due time I think you know with with 16

18 games left for the season hopefully they get more reps in the clutch but sometimes it’s also level to this having joic and having Tatum and brown is to completely different things yeah cuz like in that in that late in that game against the Cav when they blew that

20-point lead Jason Tatum got the switch to Darius Garland and he ends up taking a fading leaning long deep two and it’s like you have Darius Garland on you somebody put together a compilation of every shot he’s taking like that to end the game it was like a 4 and a half

Minute video of Tak when time taking down and he has the shot the ball he has the most predictable and and I don’t even have to be clutch but like watch a Cela game at the end of the first quarter he got the ball he’s going

To L him sleep then do this step it’s coming it’s it’s this is the most predictable thing bro I’m telling you I’m telling you

On Numbers on the Board, Kenny, Pierre, Mike, and Darrick react to the Denver Nuggets telling 115-109 win over the Boston Celtics in what could have been a potential NBA Finals preview.

  1. Poor Tatum! I really feel kinda bad for dude. I’m old enough to remember when LeBron was in his shoes (before he became full-fledged LeDiva). I hope Tatum’s able to mature into his “stone cold killer” era … at least up until he runs into my Nuggets again and gets destroyed.

    Good luck / apologies in advance to that man. I really do wish him well

  2. Nugs in 5, Celtics are 1-6 vs teams over .600 They have no answer for Jok. Denver will make more than 4 3pts. They've already got 14 against Utah at the half. If MPJ, KCP get hot watch out.
    Playoff Murray? AG cleaning up. No team is beating them 4 out of 7. Too much energy expended guarding that offense. Not to mention the altitude. Celtics can't close like Denver does. Minnesota is the closest team to actually stopping jok. Record in the weak af East doesn't matter
    They still got swept. 3-1 if you go back to last year.

  3. It’s almost as if the league Handicaps Boston because they have so many Championships…!!! Why do the Boston Guards have to guard the opposing teams Bigs. That’s a Handicap and it’s stupid…! I don’t want to see Jrue Holiday trying to block Jokic I want Tatum or Porzingis actually jumping and trying to deflect or block his shot. Anything else is a fake attempt… What is Basketball turning into it’s really as*…!!!!!

  4. How come just white guys not allowed to have their show, not diverse enough, but 4 black guys is ok?

  5. You can't stop Jokic but Jamal Murray is a big problem for the Celtics. Film session will be fun 😂

  6. Wow! An intelligent, civilized conversation without hyperbolic nonsensical hot takes? Didn’t think that was possible on ESPN. Well done, fellas.

    Also, Nuggets repeating 🏆🏆

  7. TATUM was Non Existent.. If He Plays Like Himself.. They Win.. He Play Like He Played They lose..

    Jokic is Capitalizing Off Of No Good big Men defenders ..

    To Me He Over rated
