How can Denver choose not to play in game 4, down 2-1?

I dont get it, if this game was 1-1 after denver won game 2 I understand letdown after a win but you are down 2-1 and you play like you are 3-0

They'll come back.+8 is solid.

These games are NOT real... When are you clowns on here gonna wake up and realize this.... Imagine thinking a team is scoring just 12 points in a quarter in basically a must win game.. Did you not hear what Mike Breen said after the Boston game ended... He said it was great theater... AKA scripted theater 

I am not saying they can not cover

they may cover because it is national bulls.it association but how can you start a game like this down 2-1

Nugget money looks dead. 

BLOWOUT is upon the Nuggets. 

They barely got by the suck ass Jazz, have no business doing anything but losing to Clips

They are tired abd no match to LAC....

Clips just are to much for them.. everyone knew day 1 of season was gonna be clips and Lakers... Just like rockets down but can't keep up w Lakers. 

It looks like the Clips, with multiple elite perimeter defenders (Kawii, George and Beverley), are focussing on shutting down Jamaal Murray.  Strange how shut down he is.

Murray is a little bitch who suffered an "injury" in game 7 against the Jazz.  He hasn't been the same since.  I noticed in the 2nd half of that game and in the games that have followed.  He lacks toughness and he can't raise his game unless he's 100%.  Jokic is playing through his injury and putting up numbers.  Also, the biggest flaw the Nuggets have is they don't have enough scorers.  They have a lot of athletic players who can do many things but none of them are good 3rd options for a scorer.  Porter Jr. is starting to do that for them and may improve his game for next year.  I still think they'll need another guy going forward or it's too easy to shut the Nuggets' starting unit down.
