Jamal Murray may end his career as the greatest player to never make an all star team
Bright lights? Jamal good? Nothing new
Our defense when they give a shit is so good man. All athletes surrounding Jokic
So weird for Jamal to drop 35 and not hit one 3 pointer…dudes midrange was cooking.
I will always respect Giannis. Real hooper
at least giannis didnt duck this game
Jamal is never beating the good team merchant allegations
Who needs 3 pointers lmao
Jok and Murray played really well late in the 4th, Bucks just couldnt keep up.
Jamal Murray sauteing dudes is maybe my favorite brand of bball
Winning with 4 3pt makes is something.
Jamal put up 35 without hitting a 3
See how good the game is when the stars on both teams play?
GG Bucks fans, hard fought game. Always respect Giannis for bringing the effort everytime he’s on the court.
I have a new found respect for Giannis after that game, firstly for showing up unlike certain others, guarding Jokic at times in the 4th and almost willed his team back into it. I thought for a sec there Doc was going to ice him out of the game when he didnt touch the ball for like 5 minutes in the 4th and our lead grew
Peyton Watson is developing into something serious
Jokic with a Yawn 25 16 12 3 2 stat line
Good game Nuggs.
I think this game shows a big difference in a team that has an identity facing a team who doesn’t know who they are yet.
The Nuggets ran a PnR with Jokic/Murray every single time that led to good looks down the stretch. No matter if it resulted in a Murray mid-range or post look for Jokic, it gave them good looks every time. They’re a team that knows that their best play is an action with their best players.
The Bucks? Not so much. Down the stretch Giannis is still acting as a point guard for whatever reason. Dame and Giannis still barely run PnRs together. I’m confused on why you trade for a guy who’s best play is a PnR and you don’t make it a point to make Giannis set screens for them.
If the Bucks don’t a. Trade for a two-way shooting guard (Beasley is not the answer) and b. Start to get Dame/Giannis two man game going, they won’t make it to the Finals.
Jokic loves getting triple doubles against the bucks.
Also this is why we love Jamal. Inconsistent as hell, but the loghts were bright tonight and he delivered.
There’s no hiding Beasely and Dame from Jamal Murray man.
jamal’s midrange was just perfection tonight; jamal in the big games is fucking unreal.
Denver buds, watching you guys, esp. Jokic, is a treat. His IQ and processing/computing power is unlike anything I’ve seen and it’s just like another Monday to the man. Love Jokic.
It’s over for the opponent when Jokic and Murray start leaning heavily on the two man game
Pretty great to see the only two NBA MVPs for the past five years face off.
