    Default Nuggets choked the hell out of game 3

    Those idiots should be ashamed.


    Laughable what Jeremi Grant's mental strength is.

    And Porter's TO at the end of 3?

    Lol

    it's as if a basketball team loses from having an empty stomach somehow satisfies some type of humanitarian agenda

    nah the game just got way more physical down the stretch. even the announcers brought it up. Murry could barely get a look. Its a much different game when the refs allow more physicality.

    They missed a shit ton of WIDE OPEN shots in the game. Go rewatch the 4th Q. Heck, Grant missed two back to back WIDE OPEN 3's and an easy bucket inside with like 3 minutes left, which let the Clips go on a 5-0 run. That pretty much ended the game. Not to mention Jokic and Murray missing shots they would make in their sleep.

    Some guys did but some of that is due to the physicality also. Its much more tougher hitting shots when you have to fight your ass off to get a good look. Plus they just get taken out there rythem. They're used to free flowing up and down. Not grind out half court sets. By the time yiu get a good look not only are you fatigued but your out of rythem. Its just a different game.

    i just Saw the game last night and the game definitely became more of a physical slowed down, half court game down the stretch. Thats not even arguable. Yeah guys missed some opens ones but that happens more when your more fatigued from the physicality of the game and now your out of rythem because your offense isnt flowing the way it usually does.

    they didnt though.

    Grant was missing open shots after standing in the corner.

    Jokic and Murray make those shots in the clutch all the time and did so last series against a better defense.

    Its just a typical choke

    yeah grant did but he's not a huge part of the offense anyway. Hes probably there 4th or 5th best scorer and maybe scores 2 or 3 points in the 4th. Murry definitely wasnt getting open as much as he usually does. He working his ass off trying to get good looks and when he did he was tired and out of rythem. Jokic missed a couple shots he usually males but again the physicality was up and fatigue and pressure definitely played a factor.

    letting the worst offensive player on the floor (Grant) to take 3 consecutive crucial shots is

    It's more on the clippers defense though.

    Doesnt matter if they win game 3 or not, you cant be seriously counting on them to beat the Clippers, can you? Its just a matter of 5 or 6 games.
