oof those missed free throws

AD!

jokic has to shoot 70% on clutch-time 3s this postseason

that jokic putback

he just invented that shot

lebron doesn’t have it right now. nuggs really need to steal this

not entirely sure abt the physics w/ big honey sometimes

jokic just bullied the hell out of ad wow

jokic just fucking bulldozed anthony davis for that go ahead bucket

anthony davis is not a weak man

awesome defense by murray

wow. sick AD game.

wowie zowie

there is no god

damn

fuck thats rough

a cruel and hateful world

Jamal man what were you doing

very sad ending

jesus christ man

I’m depressed and upset.

it looked like plumlee was calling for grant to switch out onto AD so he could cover a potential lebron cut to the rim. given grant’s positioning that was probably a mistake

You had the ball with 2 seconds left

kinda curious what plumlee is doing on this play

yeah, i think just chasing AD to the wing would have been easier than executing that switch and had a chance of disrupting the key to the play, which was the extremely easy inbound pass that materialized.

i think thats considering the context one of the worst defensive plays ive ever seen

pointing at the guy to switch while you just slow down and stop playing isn't the best look

my friend is standing between lebron and the basket but i want to stand there

lol

i am starting to think that if the nuggets could replace plumlee's salary with an equivalent good player they would be the favorites. it's an insane amount of money for a backup center who also sucks.

He doesn’t suck he’s a good player who made a terrible decision

Most likely plumlee thought they were switching before anything happened

If you presume a switch what he did makes sense but that is not what occurs

In general this is a Bill Buckner situation and that’s life

someone on twitter saying maybe plum was supposed to switch on a bron screen but when there was no screen he tried to anyway

With all that said they got a 36% look for AD and he just made it

yeah I have come around on plumlee, I think the nuggs are obviously going to let millsap walk and with porter presumably starting at the 4 they probably can’t afford to let plumlee walk too? tbh I haven’t thought about it much

they can keep plumlee if he takes a $10M paycut, his contract is absolutely insane

Jamal Murray was +16 in 44 minutes and somehow the Nuggets lost the other 4 minutes so badly that they didn't win.

Millsap is essentially retired, plumlee still an elite backup. Probably too expensive tho. I think you gotta pick a PF/C in the first round and hope he and Bol can make do

Btw that was amazing damage control by Jokic on that closeout, great awareness

yeah he covered a ton of ground

yeah he did his absolute best to get back

I’d be a little concerned about the big depth if plumlee left, given MPJ’s history

have no idea what to think about bol other than I’m excited for some regular season stuff. seems like he has some pretty defensive limitations unless he puts on some weight tho

I think Bol is gonna be an olynyk type, the 15 mpg backup who occasionally takes over a game

But he’s pretty unique, I guess Porzingis is the closest comparison in raw talent

It looks like he really can shoot which makes all kinds of things acceptable (also true of olynyk)

That was sad damn. Ruined a truly awesome big honey final stretch.
