when they let them play minny easily the better team that was seen in game 1,2, and 6. when they are allowed to play their brand of defense doubling and trapping no ticky tack phantom calls. nuggs had only 6 players that scored and only 2, murray and jokic had over 7 points let that sink in
They let them play, yet Denver was able to generate tons of wide open looks. Minny's Defense is good, im not saying they ain't.....but Denver just choked and missed a bunch of wide open looks in that 3rd quarter
you actually made my point for me. They doubled and trapped, right? Well they weren't doubling and trapping Braun, Porter, Gordon, KCP....they were doing it to Murray and Joker, leaving open looks for the other guys, but they couldn't hit water if they fell out a boat.
@BigMick87
What game were you watching???
They were not wide open Looks they were very contested looks...go back and watch the entire second half when Minnesota's defense which is number one in the NBA picked up to a whole another level.

It's basketball. By it's nature, it's a game of wild momentum swings. It's a frenetic game full of players who often lack discipline. The modern game is played in such a way that renders running old-fashion sets that est clock obsolete. Comebacks like this happen more often than you realize. This one just stands out because it's in the later rounds of the playoffs, a game 7 no less.

I did watch game. Jokic missed wide open 3’s so did Porter jr. and Murray and KCP. In the 4th quarter they got tight and were pump faking a lot when they had open looks, but at that point become gun shy since they missed so many open shots. Allowed Minny to recover.
Again, I ain’t saying Minny was bad defensively. But that 3rd quarter was when Denver missed wide open looks
so you need to go back and watch the 3rd quarter
Look Denver didn't play horrible in the second half it wasn't there best for sure, But I watched the last 15 minutes of the game
3 times , Minnesota Played amazing they made several amazing plays under pressure, probably the best 15 minutes of b ball i have seen
i quite a while, I am not buying all this nonsense of a Choke Job, you just have to take your Hat off to your Opponent, They Played
amazing Basketball when the game was on the Line late in the Forth quarter Minn was up 7 and ant hit that three pointer that was the Game
