I think they never got an issue with these since both of guys are really doing well. Lets not forget that its not all about them since they have perfect roster that works together on both ends. Lets also not forget that Porter contributes a lot in terms on points since he shoot so well and give a lot of numbers to give Nuggets a championship. Also with Gordon which also gives a lot of contribution since the guy can score if needed and can defend well. Plus also the other players which perform there roles so well. So its a total team effort for Nuggets that's why they became a champion and Jokic got a lot more better contribution that's why he got that MVP which he truly deserve that recognition.

Nuggets became more better when Murray is back on the rotation before and that's how they compliment together as a team also make Nuggets dangerous since they have a lot of guy that they can trust on offense and defense.

They developed the chemistry and it take them years to do that, with the same coach of course. So although Jokic was the only one recognized as one of the best players in the NBA, they can't forget about Murray because this guy is underrated and he can explode in the playoffs. Nuggets is really hard to beat because they are sharing the ball very well, they have great outside shooters and good interior defense as well.

Gordon is not an explosive scorer but his defense is very impressive, he can defend anyone, can even give Lebron a problem which is a legend, how much more a player with skills below Lebron.

Yeah, they already have the blue print to become a champion, I remember Murray saying that he thought that he will be traded after he got injured. But he says that coach Malone assured him that he won't be.

And last year everything fall into pieces as they become a NBA champion for the first time. And even if Jokic didn't win the MVP as it is awarded to Joel Embid of the Sixers, still it is sweeter to win a title instead of those individual awards as he had that before. When they acquired Gordon, he become their number defensive specialist, no more the dunk, although he can still do it till this day, but he has evolved to be a great defensive player.

That's what they needed as when Gordon joined them they became a stronger team. Actually, the first year of Gordon wasn't impressive, his numbers goes down but as they continue to build great chemistry, the next season they won a championship and Gordon was a huge help for that success. It's not about Murray and Jokic only, everyone are ready to play and they are confident now because they are the defending champion.

Wolves is not an easy opponent but experience wise, the Nuggets will beat them on that area.

Jamal Murray is definitely what made Nuggets win this easily, because we are talking about someone who made Jokic 2 time MVP as well. How? Well simply enough, Jokic can't be a great Center if he had no help at all, he needs some help to be who he is, like we all know him as a great passer right? Who could he pass to if he had terrible teammates? His teammates missing all their shots would make him not be the MVP, but when there are other threats like Murray who plays like this, he ends up getting better looks as well.

Murray definitely played amazingly and I believe that he is going to end up being the Kobe to Jokics Shaq in the future. We are going to see people start talking about Murray like the star he is, but it may take some time because all eyes are on Jokic right now.

Nah, Jokic is just simply a great player for a center position, even without Murray on the team the opposing team will have a hard time containing Jokic, thus making his teammates create more open shot opportunities. But I won't discredit on what Murray have done to this team. He is a great player on his own craft as well. In fact I was quite amazed by how he was able to get a good 4th quarter and make a game winner in game 2 despite of the bad shooting night.
Nevertheless, I can say this game between the Lakers and the Nuggets are really close. Though it might be unnoticeably different when you see the series standings, but in each game they play, the game are always close even if the Lakers have always lead at the half and sometimes a solid double digit, but the Nuggets always managed to close that gap.
It's really kind of weird for the Lakers to be losing against the Nuggets 4-1 when they always have the lead at the half and not only that, they always have a solid double digit lead at some point of the game and then the Nuggets will erase that deficit in the 4th quarter easily.

But still though, there are arguments that Murray was a total compliment with Jokic. Remember when Murray was out because of ACL if I'm not mistaken? The Nuggets didn't go any good that season. But after that when Murray was 100% they become NBA champion and for sure Jokic will love them instead of him winning MVP and then not winning a trophy. Now he had MVP + NBA champion and he has to take Murray for that. And the number 1 player that he has assists more in terms of numbers? It is Jamal Murray. So no doubt that the career of Jokic is not going to prospect with the Nuggets without his second guy, like many other great duo in history, MJ+ Pippen, Kobe and Shaq.

I think they never got an issue with these since both of guys are really doing well. Lets not forget that its not all about them since they have perfect roster that works together on both ends. Lets also not forget that Porter contributes a lot in terms on points since he shoot so well and give a lot of numbers to give Nuggets a championship.

I just came across a crazy statistic on twitter. Apparently with tonight’s win over the Indiana Pacers the Milwaukee Bucks became the first team in NBA history to win a playoff game without their 2 leading scorers from the regular season playing. That shows just how difficult it is to pull off what they did tonight. Maybe a good omen.

Well, they still had Middleton who is known to be an assassin too, that dude is an All-Star caliber although he had been inconsistent after the injury.
All the Bucks did was lessen their turnovers and defend well. 10 turnovers only against the 12 of the Pacers, 8 steals against the 3 of the Pacers. That tells how much their willpower to win is. Defend well and you will absolutely be rewarded. They also didn't put volumes in three-pointers, unlike the Pacers. Without Lillard, all they need is perimeter shots and pain attacks and it was a damn successful plan. Good thinking from Coach Doc Rivers.

Game 6 will be different as it's the home court of the Pacers. They should treat it as their last game as game 7 will be in a different venue where the crowd are very supportive on their team. I like to see the Pacers bouncing back from that loss, it was a blowout win by the Bucks but things will be different on the road as they have not won a game yet on that venue. Let's see if Lillard will come back, but regardless, I think Pacers are gonna finish the series.

The 76ers also got a win today. I thought the Knicks would end it but they had a rough start. They got it back in the 2nd quarter and even had the lead but the 76ers are so tough and didn't let them keep it. Tyrese Maxey with 46 monster points, rawr!

Now the series gets interesting, I thought Sixers will give up that easy but now they are back on their home court for a chance to even the series.
Sixers for the win, LOL.

^ Ya, the Bucks are coming through without their superstars. It shows that while superstars are great, everybody in an NBA uniform can play.

The Philly game tonight was something else. They may have won the game but I feel like the basketball community is turning on Joel Embiid. They’re tired of his flopping antics and it shows on social media.

They are still lucky their season is not over yet. Maxey saved them with clutch plays that brought the game to OT. Now, this looks like the series will reach game 7 as Sixers will make sure they'll get game 6. I like the Maxey and Embiid combo, this young man has a good stamina as I didn't see him look tired in that game, and despite being young, I can see how great he is not afraid to carry his team behind him. it's a well deserve win by the Sixers.

Maxey playing with bad intentions though in this game, you can see that he is extra aggressive from the first quarter and you can see his speed beating his defenders. Of course, Joel Embiid his contributions and so is Harris and Oubre. But it was really Maxey who carry the team from the beginning, he almost had 50 points in this game. But what's important is that he forced a overtime when all the fans of New York was celebrating as they have a good lead with just a minute to go. But a 3 + a foul and then another 4 to tie the score, that's 7 points in succession an then they played good defense in the 4th quarter and make the right play.

Yeah, and it's Tyrese Maxey who carry the team as the made a incredible run to tie the score and force OT.

So let's see how the series will turn out, I thought that it should be a close out for the Knicks and then relax, now they have to travel to Wells Fargo to get back and end this series for good.

Well they have to because the Sixers aren't gonna give that easily. They worked hard to be in the playoffs even without the health problem of Embiid, and as we can see, Embiid is still giving his best despite being not 100% healthy. Maxey is the man, he is currently the best player of the Sixers and just a win in game 6 and game 7 will likely be a very great game and I'm betting on the Sixers if that will happen.

Same with Boston, they need to get a win at the road against the Heat for a 4-1 series win.

This is quite different as the Heat are really a mismatch, they got lucky they win one game and 90% they'll be eliminated next game.

Individually, Jokic is unstoppable and he's on his prime. With his height and vision to the paint makes him a great play maker but it's true that without Jamal, he won't make it. I hope that if ever they win the championship this time, it's going to be Jamal that will win the MVP award. And that last two shots that he made to win the tie game on a playoffs, that's something else and it's on the books and records now.

Those buzzer-beaters that Murray made in the first round are impressive, but if the Nuggets reach the finals, I think Jokic will have an advantage over Murray in terms of getting the Finals MVP award. After all, this award is given to the player who contributed the most to the team's victories throughout the series, not in a single game. In this regard, Jokic looks like a more stable player compared to Murray.

I’ll be surprised if they get out of the first round. It seems like Embiid just isn’t anywhere near 100% and I think guys like Maxey aren’t going to be able to carry them through this series. I wouldn’t be surprised if this series is over after their next meeting on Thursday. I don’t think the Knicks want to see a game 7 with the Sixers.

That's it, 115-92 ending score. 3-2 in standing and there goes the game 6. All of the other players have made great contribution and I agree that in NBA, everyone can contribute and do better in the same uniform as they are. It's just a matter of given playing time and with situations like this, they're able to step up. Beasley, Middleton, Beverley, they all did great and some additional from other benchies.

This tandem is for keeps of the Nuggets unless one of them wants to get out of the team. But I don't think that they'd do that since they're enjoying their moments there and this kind of chemistry is hard to find so for sure the Nuggets heads won't do something crazy of trading them. That's why it's all on them and contracts like this is freedom for them and they know what they want to. I guess that they will be settling down with only one team until retirement.

Agreed no one can do it alone and this kid is so underrated it's crazy. When the lights shine he only gets better. If he didn't blow out his knee a couple years ago he'd be a top 10 player in the league, yeah I think he is that good. He obviously gets overshadowed by jokic for obvious reasons but look how much they struggled when Jamal was out for an extended period of time.

His teammates missing all their shots would make him not be the MVP, but when there are other threats like Murray who plays like this, he ends up getting better looks as well.

Murray definitely played amazingly and I believe that he is going to end up being the Kobe to Jokics Shaq in the future. We are going to see people start talking about Murray like the star he is, but it may take some time because all eyes are on Jokic right now.
