DEN lost every game where they made under 40% of their three point attempts. THey had a big lead in spite of the poor shooting early, but once MIN sped up their offense, DEN looked physically exhausted. The MIN bench won the four games they won.


I’ve consistently thought all year Denver had the best starting five in the league. But they shite the bed this series. Ppl will point to their bench but that isn’t it, it was Jamal being dog shite for 4 games, AG completely lost his physicality as a bruiser, , MPJ was nowhere to be found tonight, and KCP got schooled, and even Jokic disappeared for the first two games. He finally turned it on but was too little too late.

The starting five just got beat, that’s all there is to it. They didn’t show up like they’re capable of. But give Minnesota credit for that

I've watched probably 150 nuggets games over the past two seasons, and I've been worried that they just didn't have it this season for a while now. The front office has been talking about how fatigued the team is since October after the title run.

My main concern is that Malone and the front office don't seem to be on the same page and that needs to change or they're going to run the starters into the ground again next season.

I still think Denver has the best starting 5 in the league. But their weak bench showed this series. I also don't think they took the Timberwolves seriously those first 2 games. The Nuggets played down to their competition against the Lakers. They tried that against the Wolves and got punched in the throat.

I'm interested to see where do they go next. Perhaps the FO decides to run it back no changes. Malone isn't going anywhere. I think Murray and Gordon should be untouchable due to how good they are with Jokic. Other than that, bench is the priority. Bar none.
