The game was lost on defense not offense. Gonna have to defend Pop here. You can't play someone 40 plus minutes when you know we're one of the least athletic teams in the league, you have to rotate players and some times bad rotations happen.
LMA, Poetl and White cost us that game defensively because they were responsible to contain Murray on the pick n roll with Jokic. Yes we love White but switch him with Beverly just for defensive purposes and we win this game.
Refs were a part of this loss! A T on Pop trying to call a timeout! Constant hacking of the arms but their loss of the 19 point lead started w/the no defense crew (Mills, Belinelli, Bertans, Gay & DeRozen on the floor! Constant quick shots & turnovers while I was screaming at the tv! Opportunity lost to go 2-0! Totally disgusted! We must protect home court refs trying to help Denver!

accidental, next
Refs and bad play were both factors.
I just rather not have refs be one. I want them to win or lose on their own merit. That's a legit part of the game, more than the refs letting the crowd tell them how to officiate.
Anyway, Nuggets in 5
Eh, that's just fighting through a screen. That stuff happens. I saw that happen to Tim all the time on his screens.
Is this something that the league can surprisingly suspend him for? Lol
Oh no,even if the second angle wasn't there to provide plausible deniability,the league wouldn't ruin a series with a suspension for something that weak.
This isn't Donkey's repeated bull ,LMA has a clean record.
Twice!
Hope not and shouldn’t. Did you see what Embiid did to Allen? That shoulda been an ejection!
That's my take as well, and my only real frustration with the game.
In a bubble, you take the split on the road and be happy with it. The fact that the 2nd game was compe ive is even better.
But to choke up a 19-point third quarter lead and give up a chance to really take a stranglehold of the series...that hurts.
I fully expect Denver to win one in San Antonio, so we are probably going to 6 or 7 now. If the Spurs lose, they will have this game to point to.
Green was suspended for kicking Adams
Green was fined for kicking Adams in the balls.
He was suspended for nut punching LBJ in the Finals.
The refs weren’t great, but blaming them for the loss is chicken tbh
Yes, my bad. Point stands anyway.
LMA will not be suspended, I believe, but he could.
if that happens. Backdoor sweep when we should be up 2-0
The Nuggets finally hit some of their WIDE OPEN looks... that's really all there is to it imo. Spurs only shot is to have them or anyone else shoot like Den did in game 1.
.
Losing a 19 point lead in the first half is understandable. It happens all the time. Losing a 19 point lead in the second half means that either the Spurs lost their focus or their defense is that bad that once Denver got on a roll, Spurs defense could not stop them. Hopefully it was just a loss of focus, because I guarantee you that Denver team is going to have more confidence after last night's comeback.
Spurs need to limit Mills minutes or find a way to keep him
off the floor. They aren't good enough to
cover for him. I think he's unplayable in the playoffs. If they don't figure it out they are going home.
The NBA will always see bad calls for the away team. It is tradition.
This is the solution above
Gay struggled because Mills cannot set up any kind of good offense and then Mills gets used on defense
Imagine Dejonte out there instead of Mills
What could have been.,,
Denver in 5. This team doesn't want it enough
allowing uncontested 4th qtr jumper after jumper might have figured in the defeat.
The refs ed us, and we basically helped them. Goddamn, we did nothing to stop their momentum. Poop's was lame and felt like a white flag.
Murray was defended well in a few of those but was lit. ing pull up 3 lol man it happens
Pop needs to get his head out of his ass because doubling jokic is completely idiotic. he is not an elite scorer and he passes so well out of the double, why tf does Pop insist on doubling him instead of letting LA/Poeltl guard his slow chunky ass
