I could write for days, but I will keep this short. The Nuggets are - by far - the least intelligent team I have ever watched. This, even with Jokic who might be the most intelligent player since Magic Johnson. Reggie Jackson is a selfish imbecile who needs to go ASAP. Every single damn possession he wastes the clock, then calls his own number. How did he manage to get cornered, against the sideline, in the back court? Throw the damn ball off the defender's foot. Even Watson knows that in his sophomore season. Murray is not much better. He is a lights out sniper but an absolutely terrible point guard. I do not believe I saw him pass to Joker on a single pick and roll. His decision making is awful. I am completely sick of that underhand scoop he is featuring this year, at about 10% efficiency. Pope may or may not be All Defensive team, but since hoops does not allow changes on the fly like hockey ( or better: lacrosse), he is as much of a liability on offense as he is good on defense. On that topic, he regularly got smoked last night. Porter - perhaps the smoothest stroke I have ever seen, but dumb as a box of rocks. He has zero idea of what defense is. This team regularly makes mistakes that would get players benched in 7th grade CYO hoops. I am sick of it.
Next year, move Murray to the #2 backed up with Strawther, put Gillespie at PG backed up by Braun, and let Watson spell either Gordon or Porter.
The bottom line is that game was an inexcuseable loss. No Heart. No Hustle. No Brains. If I am Kroenke I am pissed. Each playoff game generates about $3M in revenue. That BS effort might have cost Kroenke 2 Game 7s at home.
