That was a tough ass game by Jamal Murray tonight.
Made NINE shots outside the paint overall. And Denver needed every one of them.
Two thumbs up lol – 11:38 PM

Nuggets need Nikola Jokic to re-assert himself. Lakers have tried putting Rui Hachimura on Jokic in the fourth. It’s gotta be Jamal Murray or Joker time for Nuggets. – 11:09 PM

Joker is and has been insane, but also so important that he has enough shot-makers around him. Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr., have been terrific tonight – and are guys that are bucket-getters. KCP also proven vet who can make shots. – 10:54 PM

Quick cheat sheet on the Nuggets if you’re tuning in for the first time tonight:
– Nikola Jokic is the best player in the NBA
– Michael Porter Jr. is an improved defender
– Jamal Murray is back
– Bruce Brown is a perfect fit
– The bench is shaky – 10:54 PM

Jamal Murray has to be more than a tough shot maker In this series. He’s getting targeted every time down the court and giving no resistance.
Then leaves Braun on an island on offense. – 10:37 PM

Nuggets go into the half up 72-54. Nikola Jokic on a rampage with 19 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists as he looks for his third straight triple-double and fourth in last five games. Jamal Murray with 15 points. Lakers are very fortunate to not be down by even more. – 9:50 PM

Nikola Jokic 19 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists. At halftime.
Headed for a 20-point, 20-rebound triple-double. Might even tinker with a 30-30 triple-dub.
Anthony Davis started slow offensively, finished half with 18 points.
Jamal Murray 17 points. – 9:48 PM

Jamal Murray is listed as questionable for tomorrow’s Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals with non-Covid illness.
Remember, before Game 6 in Phoenix he had this same status and he said after the game he was always going to play.
Also saw him at Nuggets practice today. – 8:15 PM
