NBAperspective | East

There was a period in the 4th quarter where Sengun and his teammates basically dived/threw their body into Jokic to try and get him to foul out and I think it messed up their rhythm

Happens a lot. You spend all your effort trying to get the guy to foul out and in a game with slim margins that can be the difference in losing.

Nah, he was just in his own head, had 0 confidence this whole game for whatever reason. Look at the shots he was willing to take vs Cavs, vs look at how many shots he didnt take vs Nuggets.

_smilax | Nuggets

2 | 33 minutes ago

He started flopping and it went downhill from there. Maybe the Jokic poster shook him

personamb

36 | 3 hours ago

It still feels like his mental game isn’t that strong, which is understandable for his age. The 2nd and 3rd fouls were basically identical, pushing someone from behind while try to get position, and that’s such a frustration foul.

By contrast, Jokic after he picked up his 5th - played a lot more conservatively on defense (especially when he was beat on the dribble) and the team played great rotational defense to cover for him. That let him stay in the game for the last 8 minutes on 5 fouls. Feels like Denver is just a more mature, coherent team still.

Still, the Rockets have most of the season to get that sort of stuff sorted out, and Ime Udoka is a great coach.

Reed Sheppard can’t win with these cats

If one of KD or Sengun showed up we win. After a certain point, they should’ve just played through him as the primary in the second half.

Edit: 2 shot attempts in the second half, aight. At least Reed keeps stacking good games. Only bright side of tonight but this will pay off in the big picture.

neutronicus | Nuggets

22 | 2 hours ago

Watson was really good on him with his length

Dulija_

8 | 2 hours ago

IMO as KD is 37 now he slowed down a bit with the usage ever since his move too Brooklyn- hes trying to keep his role as an ISO scorer just like in GS and keep his stamina that way, he likes to create more out of pick n roll, or just punishes any drop or looser coverage with the middies. Also he had more than a fair share of teammates who can also be high volume scorers and he does have them here as well so I think hes also trying to get more gravity off him to spread the floor even more

Amen should have just fouled rather than gambling there, it took a few precious seconds off the clock when we already didn’t have any time outs.

Sucks to lose but it wasn’t all that bad. GGs again to the Nuggets and on to the next one.

I’ll never understand people underrating Murray man.

I have a laker bias so he’s like MJ 2.0 to me, but still.

Some people act like jokic has never had help but if Murray was 25% more consistent he’d have multiple all NBA selections.

This dude balls the fuck out.

Few players in the league could pair as well with jokic, and just about everyone would pair well with jokic.

Murray is a fucking baller man. I hope history treats his legacy far kinder than he treats the Lakers in the playoffs.

Hate to lose but this is a good learning moment. Denver defended us like any good playoff team will (hard double KD and Sengun and force everyone else to beat us). Both had their worst games of the season as a result. Now we have the tape on it and can hopefully be ready for it next time.

Sengun also needs to play better. Had a rough start and completely checked himself out of the game and was really passive. Super disappointing to see from him.

Spencer Jones and Peyton Watson defensive masterclass (except some dumb fouls). Also Spence hitting his only shot was fire.

Wow what a big win! Two starters out, great back and forth runs, a test of our depth, etc. Jokic is the best to ever do it. I’m relieved (for now, we have a long month or two ahead of us)

Still don’t get why Alpi took the last shot with Reed, KD m, and even Bari on the floor none the less good game Nuggets fans, hopefully we’re both healthy enough the next time we meet

That second quarter was brutally bad hoops by the Nugs.

I love Alpi, he is and will continue to be a star in this league, but the second half felt like ego basketball. It was criminal that Reed went for 18 in the SECOND QUARTER, and only got 7 in the next 2 quarters. He had the hot hand, let the man SHOOT.

Dang didn’t think I’d see KD shoot that badly, Nuggets did a great job containing him. Even if he was just average, the Rockets could’ve won. Great win by the Nuggets.

Everyone rightfully hating on Sengun, but KD was also a brick. This was definitely a winnable game for Houston, should’ve given the ball to Sheppard more.

That was a fun one. Good, hard fought battle. It has to feel unfair when Jokic and Murray make some of those ridiculous shots at the end of the shot clock.

Sengun’s flopping is awful this season. The refs seemed to be actively not making calls he would’ve gotten if he didn’t exaggerated so much, yet he kept going.

Is there a reason why KD was like not part of the final 90 second comeback?? Like why is sengun shooting the hail Mary with 2 seconds left?

Why was Jabari Smith even guarding Jokic? He had 5 fouls

I know this was a close win, but the way the Nuggets closed it was beautiful to watch. Prediction: This win gave Nuggets confidence that they are legit contenders. They will rest AG and Braun as long as it takes until they are 100%. Just need to get more reps in for the new guys, especially Cam, but I don’t think they are worried about him anymore. Barring injuries, we are likely to see the rematch with OKC in the conference finals.

The Denver Nuggets (12-3) defeat the Houston Rockets (10-4) 112-109 behind Jokic’s 34/10/9 and Murray’s 26/2/10 in a clash of #2 vs #3 in the west
