    No. Because the Nuggets should have won both games at home. They lost homecourt advantage and were down 19 in game 2. Spurs gave away game 2. All the Spurs have to do is protect homecourt and this series is all but over.

    The Spurs up 2 – 0, would have won a game at home, to go up 3 – 1. Now they could go back to Denver down 3 – 1.

    Jamal Murray saved their season in the 4th quarter.

      So you think this team, in this particular stretch of time would stole 2 games in a row in SAS when they lost every game in the HEB center since 2012, well good luck with that, Who knows may be the Clippers win the series too

    Give the Nuggets their credit. They came out nd WON Game 2. One team cant make a comeback nd win unless the other team collapses nd the other team takes advantage of it.

      their mental fortitude is strong

      home court, opponent won game 1,opponent lead by 19

      some other teams would lost heart but not them, maybe how coach does his sentimental thigns

    The fact is that Popovich somehow squizees the life out every opponent given at least a decent team. He had a great Kawhi and a “veteran” Manu and they squeezed the best GSW team of all time (until Zaza moment) like an orange juice. Denver has a good team, but it seems their game needs another level in the playoffs. Something like Pau Gasol had to do with his game against Boston for Lakers to overcome them (go check his physicallity in those finals – Kobe was Kobe, but nobody can not do it alone and Pau was a different dude. I find it a great example how “elevated” some guys must be to win in those types of games). Denver pulled SA and if anybody knows how to exploit the opponent, it’s that Gandalf (or Saruman 🙂 on the SA bench. You do not even know how much some team is volnerouble until you watch Pop take them apart.

    As a parent, it horrifies me to hear stories like Jamal Murray’s growing up. The defense is that he’s become a successful NBA player, thanks to his father, but the professional success of my child is not the most important thing. A lot of parents don’t seem to get that.

    • Ardin Hajihil

      April 18, 2019 at 2:32 am

      parents must be teamwork

      there are hard parents and soft parents

      lucky people have both

      hard parent (DAD) and soft parent (MOM)

      maybe he had both

      -a parent

    • highdough

      April 18, 2019 at 3:22 am

      Ardin Hajihil Uh, no. Yes, parenting is teamwork. But that doesn’t mean one has to be borderline abusive. Parenting is not good cop, bad cop. Your child is not a criminal you’re trying to get to confess.

    • Ardin Hajihil

      April 18, 2019 at 3:34 am

      +highdough his dad is training him to be a great player and have great discipline

      giving him mindset

      this report about borderly abusing his mental fortitude is during training not the whole story of his father’s parenting

      we dont know maybe after that training they go to town and have some father son laugh-out

    • janice sheppard

      April 18, 2019 at 5:14 am

      Ardin Hajihil there is a such thing as being too hard on a kid

    • Predragon

      April 18, 2019 at 6:47 am

      you are making it like he was abusive parent, but from all accounts he was building Jamal character teaching him discipline and work habits (something that most youngsters lacking this days, due to soft, no boundaries parenting ) and it was something his kid wanted to do since they set lofty goals to achieve

    I wouldn’t say that Murray saved Nuggets postseason with his 4th Q heroics since he was cold first part of game so things largely evened out, but I must say I wasn’t surprised at all by his performance that is Jamal we all hope to see in his prime when he find his consistency.

    When Murray gets his rhythm going and enter the zone he is among most unstoppable forces in basketball, and I am not speaking about putting numbers (any number of guys can do that), I am speaking of long stretches of pure shot making no matter how difficult it may seems that utterly crush opponents resistance (tier of MJ, Curry, guys that wreak havoc and crush defensive schemes)

    • Asmosis Jones

      April 18, 2019 at 7:44 am

      look he saved their season cause they were down like it or not and had he not done that their seasons over…cant change the past only the future..he did that
