Jamal Murray may not end up on US National Team but we can’t deny how good he is. The impact he had on this team is amazing. Low key. Unlike those known point guards asking for trades yet cannot carry his team to playoffs.

The way Joker can dummy defenders physically but also have that soft touch floater/shot and range is incredible, the passing with the overall high bball IQ is just icing on the cake. It’s not luck that he has good chemistry with players it’s just him.

These nuggets look good. I think the lakers will end up winning but they will give them a 12 round boxing match.

Where’s bookers defense?! He is not a two way player. You can’t just out shoot a team like Denver who can also shoot. Nothing special about booker. Suns have no bench.

Christian Browns behind the back to stop from going out of bounds while keeping momentum was so clean.
