@@iamtannerful 19 vs 6 calls is not suss to you? Thats a 3-1 disparity! What if I told you Denver led in points in the paint 54 v 54, 2nd chance points 18 v 8 and also led in fastbreak points 21 v 14. Usually the side that is more impactful in the paint gets more foul calls, unless you're the Lakers then every contested missed shot is called a foul regardless whether the player is touched or not.

True lakers fan should be ashamed of the current lakers, they cant even get into the playoffs without the refs awarding them 500 more free throws than their opponents.

Nuggets team chemistry is just so fluid. Said this many times but I say it again this man is a killer
Jokic is outstanding. Lakers are old and done.
Jokic has a strong dominance, strong enough to lead his team to a 5-8 victory. Today's Nuggets made six free throws for the fewest second-place records in a single game in the playoffs.

Nikolaaa Grukiç 🔥🔥🔥
I've been applying what Jokic and Aaron Gordon do in pick ups. I'm 6 foot 5 240 and Jokic just uses his body to create space and get shots over more athletic defenders like AD and LeBron. And Aaron Gordon is a beast with his off ball action and operating out of the dunkers spot. Combing Jokic's big dude game with Aaron Gordon cutting has made me much more effective even though I am built more like Jokic than Gordon.

I am a nuggets fan. with that said the Nuggets will need to play well all four quarters if they are to beat the Timberwolves. That is a much better team than LA. While the nuggets are clutch when needed, I think it will be much harder to come back from double digits going forward. I think Murray has been struggling early in the games recently (wondering if he's injured and playing through It, which is commendable). Praying that he is well and on fire in the next series.
