This is a must win for nuggets. We'll get their best punch. If we are able to keep it close or even win, there's no doubt in my mind we win games 3 and 4.

If we lose by 25 or more, than we will likely split 3 and 4.

Oddly throwing his bench under the bus. Why make excuses? Just go out and prove you are the better team. I guess it doesn't help matters that a guy in the G-League last year was the one that led the Spurs to victory.

I say that mostly because of Denvers inexperience in the playoffs. Their confidence level will dictate their level of play. So Blowing us out will give them swagger back and have them feeling good coming into San Antonio. A close win, or a loss may give them some sense of doubt, especially since now they will have to win on the road.
A lot of this game is between the ears. A team like Golden State or Spurs back in the day, it would have not mattered whether they lost by 1 or 50, It was always on to the next game. But a young inexperienced team like Denver...it matters.

Right now Denver is probably slightly feeling pressure. If we gain a lead in the 4th quarter they are going to start playing tight. Thats why i'm hoping we can keep it close.

But honestly I am anticipating a blow out. But we'll see.

If we had shot 50% + from the field and even from 3pt i would be more worried that we only won by 6.
So the good news is that although Denver didn't shoot to great, we weren't on fire or anything either.

So my thinking is if Denver comes out hot this game, I hope we do too.

Why are the Spurs doubling jokic? I'd rather they force him to score. He's not really interested in that. He'd much rather have 10 assists than 30pts.

Malone has been over-complementary to the Spurs since the start of the series.

Already has pretty much said to the media that Pop is the better coach (obvious) with more rings, and that the Spurs bench is better than his own.

It's like he is prepping himself for a loss instead of pumping his team up for a win. Weird flex, but okay.

I think Pop starts with the strategy but changes it up if needed. If it isn't broke, don't fix it...and if it breaks, make them figure out the new gameplan on the fly.

Pop will double Jokic until it stops working. That's just the way Pop is. And even then I've seen Pop refuse to make adjustments until it's too late.

Rockets should've eliminated their asses last year too. But they are the only team that can beat them, especially if Cousins is still out by then. One local source in the SF Bay Area has Kerr saying he's even hoping Cousins is back in 3 weeks. I don't recall quad tears recovering THAT quickly.

Toronto is playing great on the defensive end with a lot of intensity. I don't think Denver can bring that defensive fire power since they don't have elite defenders like #2 and Green. With that being said the nuggets can still win big tonight if they hit their open shots.

Oddly throwing his bench under the bus. Why make excuses? Just go out and prove you are the better team. I guess it doesn't help matters that a guy in the G-League last year was the one that led the Spurs to victory.

Remember when Johnathan Simmons played for the spurs, he was arguably our best player in the playoffs when zaza hurt kawhi and he's from the g league, we didn't complain or make excuses

I like this Denver team, but they don't seem to have the firepower to overcome disciplined defense and players with more time in the playoffs. It's hard to count on Murray, a guy from Kentucky, to do your business. If UK players ever turn out to be good, it usually takes years although he looks a bit better than most of them. It's hard to depend on a lead guard first time in the POs.
