BRING IT THE FUCK IN
Bubble Murray isn’t a thing, its playoff Murray. Dude is a baller
Those Conley flops shut up a lot of r/nba clowns calling the game 1 sided
Jeff Green gonna be so sore after this one lol.
# Jamal Murray
Jamal Motherfucking Murray
There’s only one Jamal!
Mike deserves so much credit for this win. Hope game 3 goes better for him in terms of touches
Conley a flopping hoe. Can’t wait to eliminate him again.
Thank goodness for Jamal Murray
48 fouls. 50 free throws combined. Awful reffing for both teams damn. But wow what a fun Jamal game to watch
Sombor Single!
That 3rd qtr was awful, but it took Ant scoring 41 for them to lose by single digits.
Gimme a SWEEP
HIMal
If Jamal sustains this level of play it’s fucking over
MPJ MURRAY SPECIAL TONIGHT
Next game: all MPJ thanks.
Someone on Altitude said this was Minnesota’s best shot at stealing a game, they almost did but they couldn’t hold it. I’ll be happy with a split in Minnesota but will always take a 🧹
Really felt like 2 games lol
Fuck man this interview with Jamal 😭
MPJ stepping up when we needed a spark, Mal keeping them in the game early on and late down the stretch, Jok being Jok despite not looking great at some points. Wow.
Jamal sounding a little emotional talking about his recovery
REMEMBER THIS IN THE DARKEST DAYS OF JANUARY. JAMAL MURRAY IS BUILT FOR THE PLAYOFFS
Line -8.5 Denver wins by 9 hahaha Vegas
Jamal Murray. Playoff Flamethrower 🔥
JAMAL FUCKING MURRAY
