Absolutely but consistency has always been his issue. And on the other end he’ll be guarding the ball every possession.Murray is gonna Murray but he’s getting good looks. And he’s going to continue to get those in Jokic PNRs. And he left A LOT of food on the table last night with his playmaking.
Start Rui/Schroder in place of Vando/D'Lo.
Clear as day why he’s doing it. Same reason why he calls timeouts super early.Thinking about it more, I kind of get why Mike Malone seems to have a chip on his shoulder. His team cruised to the number 1 seed in the West and the most national media attention that really got was anti-Jokic MVP campaigning.
Nuggets have to be one of the more overlooked/ignored one seeds ever. I understand why, but I can also see why it would be irritating if you’re in the organization.
Jokic rather tend to his horses than promote too.

They've also been the 1 or 2 seed for about 5 seasons with not much to show for it in the playoffs.Thinking about it more, I kind of get why Mike Malone seems to have a chip on his shoulder.

Start Rui/Schroder in place of Vando/D'Lo.
One of Reaves/D'Lo should be on the floor at all times.
Get AD shots in front of the rim. If he shoots baseline or wing, it's a fastbreak the other way.
Less Bron on Jokic defensively because it takes too much out of his legs.
No more one pass away digs when Jokic is posting up.
Need to hunt Murray more in the fourth.
RUN BACK ON DEFENSE.
Played well for ~40 minutes, then the levee broke with bad shots and hot shotmaking from Murray.
Primarily MPJ, maybe Jokic here and there (AD is primary matchup for Jokic).Rui is guarding who in this lineup?
Going to be interesting to see what Bron’s legs do on short rest and traveling.
**FIXED**We was talking about who’s the goat a few days ago with a group of friends, and someone said “you know who should be brought up in the goat discussion? Dirk Nowitzki”
I almost shot him
He can certainly can get hot thinking about that series him and Mitchel traded 50 point games. Just need to lock in and hit big shots when he has good looks and playoff Jokic.Murray is gonna Murray but he’s getting good looks. And he’s going to continue to get those in Jokic PNRs. And he left A LOT of food on the table last night with his playmaking.
Will espn suggest nuggets rest their guys for GM 3 and go all out in GM 4?
The biggest thing is they have to balance maximizing their offense and handling who switches on Jokic through screens.
You're telling me a Bron-Rui-Vando-Lonnie-Schroder lineup isn't productive to start the fourth quarter of a close playoff game?The biggest thing is they have to balance maximizing their offense and handling who switches on Jokic through screens.
He’s a legitimate center. He’s out of their weight class. Bron battled fatigue switching 1-5 in that Pacers series almost a decade ago now. Asking him to do it at this point while still playing 43 minutes is just ridiculous
And that’s what makes this a tough matchup. Vando can’t switch onto him either, isn’t bothering Murray in PnR so he has no purpose here. Give more of his minutes to Rui & Lonnie, which significantly helps your offense.
On the other end, even with AD on him but especially on the switch you have to show Jokic a crowd, which means you have to pick 1 Nugget to ignore, which will leave you exposed when they have all of their shooting on the floor & their spacing is proper.
With all that said though, Denver’s execution often leaves a lot to be desired. They were dead in this game until Murray got hot with some questionable shot selection.
So I think you throw out your best offensive lineups all 48, make Murray guard the ball often, mix up your looks on Jokic and make Denver execute.
So basically, just stay the course Minor adjustments are less Vando minutes & making a conscious effort to sprint back in transition defensively.

They dont call him Alternating Days for nothingAnthony Davis 4-15 with a -10? How'd that happen?
This is disingenuous to me and a lot of people use it.They've also been the 1 or 2 seed for about 5 seasons with not much to show for it in the playoffs.

Agreed. The nick wright/club shay shay angle also holds weight as you pointed out.Thinking about it more, I kind of get why Mike Malone seems to have a chip on his shoulder.
