    Denver is still very good team without Murray.

    The only way they are to be blamed is if the game was out of reach and they are still playing them. (Let's call that the stotts). Golden state won by more than 2 possessions... was it out of reach with 50 seconds left?

    Then why is it wrong?

    Our team sucks. Washington sucks. I dont want to be compared to Washington. They suck.

    But not a contender. This sucks. Having destroyed my hopes for my favorite team, God has moved on to my next favorite.

    I think we should loan the Nuggets Dame just for the rest of the season and playoffs.

    Not if Murray makes that shot he was driving for when he got hurt.

    Denver was down 7 with 0:50 left. I don't think I would consider the game over. I believe Nugget fans are saying the Malone has a history of riding his starters too much (a common fan complaint).

    My memory isn't always the greatest. What major injury happened to a Blazer in a 4th quarter blowout over the last 8 years?

    Jokic has been very good in the clutch at the end of games.

    Our 31-22 team does not suck. You must be thinking of the Sacramento Kings.

    Denver is done. Jokic gets all the press, but it's amazing to me how undervalued Murray is around the League. Great defense, a double-coverage threat to take the pressure off of Joker and a tremendously athletic guy with range. The four dozen Nuggets fans here in Denver are despondent.

    theyre gonna miss murray as a scorer, but they still have jokic to close the games

    for some reason, i usually get to see jokic taking over the game, not murray

    No doubt both have had their clutch moments. I do think that when there is only one option it becomes easier for the defense to double. Someone else will have to step up for them.

    And DJJ would've had to have been thrown in too. Plus a pick.
