The Nuggets have scored 17 points this HALF! That is unheard of bad for an NBA playoff team

They heard all the 60+ year olds here, whining about the high scores, lack of quality individuals like Bill Laimbeer and tried to throw them a bone. But they complained about something else, instead. Probably the rainbow on the jerseys. Can't have that.

Murray hasn't looked the same since running into Ingles. No burst or acceleration at all. I wonder if he tweaked the hamstring that was bothering him

He and Mitchell have to be absolutely spent, too. I can't recall the last time I've seen a series like this, with two guys going at each other like this.

Jokic has stepped up for Murray’s fatigue. Jamaal was due for an off night, but I didn’t think he would be this off! He must have tweaked it somewhat

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I'm throwing a lot of hyperbole around here tonight.. but how many 1st round series have been THIS good?

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Good, glad Mitchell missed it... for as good as he played, he's still a Loserville player

 

[UKRuppster]

Wow. Some finish there. Nuggets may have been better backing that ball out at the end (still should have made the layup) and it nearly cost them. Great sportsmanship from Jamal consoling/helping up Mitchell.

 

[RoyKent]

Crazy finish. Murray and Denver hold on and advance

Conley missed the shot. Mitchell had his arms in the air anticipating he'd make it.

 

[germuk]

Really cool moment with Murray and Mitchell there. All respect and a legendary duel all series long between those guys

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

Mitchell laying there in defeat made me happy

And for as miniscule as it may be, it always helps when Kentucky players are in the playoffs. Murray gets another 4-5 games to represent UK and Coach Cal.

Well, yeah. He still went to Louisville. But I do respect the series he played and do like that Jamal was very classy in consoling him and helping him up after a very hard fought battle.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Thats as good as its gets for a first round series. No way they get legs back before Thursday. Thats fun and the respect Donavan and Jamal showed at the end was awesome.Thats the NBA Future if things go normal and it will be a good entertainment.

 

[hotelblue]

jokic was the man tonight. murray and the team needed that.

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

I hope Jamal told him “you’ll always be little brother”

 

[UKRuppster]

Hopefully more. Jamal and Jokic especially, along with the rest of the Nuggets, better watch out for Marcus Morris in that series. I see no reason why he wouldn't try playing dirty with them like he was with Doncic.

 

[UKRuppster]

Lol well played [laughing]

 

[Shaudylo]

Hopefully Murray will be okay going into the next round . As a few stated he didn’t look right after he collided with Ingles .

You know the Clips are going to get physical with him

Unfortunately, I think Denver used quite a few of it's 9 lives this series. Still, I hope someone chucks the ball at Morris face, point blank.

Beverley has shown in the past with Westbrook that he's not above going for people's legs and knees. I don't know if he'll be back from injury though.

And then there's Marcus Morris

Jamal needs to be in Games 1 and 4-6 mode for the Nuggets to have a shot to win that series. Gotta expect Leonard and George will get theirs, although George was pretty awful in 4 of their 6 games against Dallas.

The problem is.. it's Leonard and George now, not Mitchell. When it comes to defense.. Jamal is going from the Triple A to the majors. The Clippers beat the **** out of Luka. Almost literally.

I'm hoping. Can't stand the Clippers at the moment. I hope Morris has a career ending compound fracture.

Jerami Grant played soooo awful last night, and he almost cost them the series.

I expect Denver and Murray to be as flat as a pancake in game #1 but they've proven me wrong before.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

"Boy, that's a bummer"

lolol

Once again, I'm taking Rockets tonight. Bucks even their series.

Rockets are lock of century. Stone cold

That dude Herro is something nice. Smooth *** lefty lay up.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

I really like this Miami team.

Agree. They're tight.

having a nice game so far.

Miami trying to throw it away.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Terrible call.

 

[germuk]

What an awful way to end the game. Neither should have been a foul

 

[BleedBlue32]

Terrible call.

Both calls at the end were awful. Sad to see the stripes affect a playoff outcome like that.

Honestly, the outcome was correct. The Middleton 3 shouldn’t have been a foul and then the Heat would have won anyways. But I agree that it’s a pathetic way to end the game and one of the worst finishes to a basketball game I’ve seen.
