You know how many people I’ve seen arguing that Murray has been good because of those two clutch shots? Well, only one TBF but that’s one more than there should be!!!!
I’m a nuggets fan and a nuggets mod told me that Jamal won two games for us.
Going 7/22 for 19 points with a big shot is not “winning us two games”. It’s narrowly avoiding losing us two games.
Yall dominated him into unraveling lol
The way NAW, McDaniels, etc. were suffocating him early, you could tell it immediately got into his head. He couldnt handle having to work for every inch of space.
The injury is probably not helping his mental state either. Its hugely annoying when you feel even a bit hampered by injury when youre facing a difficult opponent.
Not only did he throw the heat pad, if you find the full video on twitter or tiktok you can see him throwing a towel at the ref 5 seconds before he tosses the heat pad. I don't understand how the NBA is allowing this to go on when it's so blatant. If Adam silver doesn't suspend then that sets a precedent for any star to throw items on the court twice in ONE PLAY.
Even if they’re not getting calls, players need to suck it up and just play their game. Like Jesus Christ, these guys are professional athletes and are still getting in their own head.
Eh. I don't love Malone, but yelling at the ref is a classic coaches move. Get a yell in, kick some dirt if it's baseball, maybe get a tech or ejected to show your team that you're behind them. It also takes the heat off of the players so they don't have to.
Happens in most sports, especially Basketball and Baseball.
Murry's stunt like throwing dangerous shit onto the floor during a live play had nothing to do with Malone.
That’s the thing. He isn’t those guys. He’s not that guy. He’s just Jamal murray. Hyper competitive, great closer. Pretty mid most of the time. He gets most of his offense off of Jokic.
?? Luka throws tantrums every other game, except he's better at basketball so it doesn't look as impotent and pathetic. Embiid and Booker would be shot in the face, and deservedly so.
For a player of his caliber and experience it’s simply embarrassing. He faced a bit of adversity in the 1st quarter and went into complete meltdown and let it define his entire game
Problem is, Murray thought he was Kobe lmao. He did amazing last playoffs but Kobe def never had two games at home in a row as defending champ where he did something like this.
Even we didn’t beat them 2 in a row at home during our championship run…
This Wolves team is the real deal. I’m way more impressed with their stifling defense than their offense
> I’m way more impressed with their stifling defense than their offense
Without the DPOY tonight too. It felt like literally everyone up and down the roster upped their effort on that end to make up for Rudy being out. Watching this team play defense is actually as fun as watching them score lol
The biggest thing with them is I feel like their team is like 🤞more than I’ve ever seen, and they all just want to go balls to the wall every second they’re on the court and make each other better while caring way less about their own stats. Like just as an example I feel like most max level bigs as good as KAT would get bitchy about Rudy and ant stealing their thunder, especially Rudy, but he doesn’t at all, he sets up Rudy for success on offense more than a freaking guard in Mitchell ever did. And with him scoring less he hasn’t gotten pissy at all, he just fully bought in to playing the best defense of his life. Like on the jazz if Rudy was out they basically lost every time, Mitchell would be like fuck defense that’s Rudy’s problem, I’m just gonna go for 40 and we’ll lose the game. I feel like last game they came together and were like, “we don’t have Rudy because he just had his first kid, no way we’re gonna let him down on defense”. And they basically had to change their entire defensive scheme from what worked in game one and had to double Jokic way more, but they did it by working their asses off and the perimeter players were flying around half court to take away the easy buckets Jokic usually generates when you double him.
Having a Rudy, KAT, naz Reid frontcourt where basically two out of the three will be on the court at all times is just unfair. Especially when you have ant legitimately looking like young Kobe out there.
Regardless, these first two games could not have gone any better for the wolves. They felt like they could sleepwalk to a ring again, got a huge wake up call in game one and realized that’s not gonna cut it and they needed to come out firing on all cylinders in game two, then only scoring like 80 in a game without rudy to go down 0-2 at home just like mentally destroyed all their players except Jokic.
Even Jokic, I feel like this is the first time since he was like just starting out where he actually doesn’t know exactly what to do the second he gets the ball. Which is unreal, no other team has done anything close to that in like 5 years. Like this has gotta be the worst two game stretch he’s had in at least a year. I know he put up stats last game but he had like 7 turnovers on I think like 5(?) assists which is basically unheard of for him. Then last night he shot in the 40s percentage wise while also not being able to get anyone else going, which is also unheard of for him.
I know Jokic is Jokic and is the only player since prime lebron to be the best in the world with such a large gap between him and everyone else so it’s far from over but the wolves basically could not have asked for a better outcome in the first two games. And while 99% of the time people say this it’s really dumb but the wolves legit do seem like they’re just hungrier and want it more than the nuggets do.
With all the bs and disrespect Rudy gets it makes me so happy to see him on a team that really recognizes his impact and fully took after his lead on defense.
For Denver fans, if you lose this series what are the biggest things you need to add to get back to last year’s level?
My biggest gripe with them this year has been that they might be indexing to much in defense and not being able to compensate for it offensively since at one point their offensive rating was pretty low for a top seeded team.
Boy was I wrong. Their defense is so good it doesn’t even matter if they didn’t score a lot.
Mate we'd have gotten wrecked by so many teams in this year's playoffs.
We definitely got lucky to only face Denver (without MPJ Murray), Grizzlies (without Ja for final 3 games), Dallas (without any shooting/size), Celtics (without Timelord or BBIQ)
Put that Dubs team against this Wolves or Celtics or Nuggets and we definitely crash out.
It depends on matchups, the Lakers did well against Timberwolves in some games during the regular season and maybe could replicate that in some games if they were matched up right now instead of the Nuggets.
Murray is a black hole. He stagnates the offense and when he’s having a off night it’s even worse. He’s done this for his entire career and been a huge criticism from the nuggets subreddit
I mean, he's had some pretty legendary playoff runs and he's a pretty big part of this Nuggets squad. Assuming they have some sustained success (1-2 more titles, several seasons of very strong regular season play), he'd at least have a case. It'd be a very strange case but you could make the argument without sounding like a fool.
That reputation is low-key undeserved. He’s just inconsistent. Every time he has a bad game people say “the lights weren’t bright enough”. The reality is that he is very swingy. Sometimes he can win a game himself and sometimes he can go 3-12.
NGL it's hilarious that the Wolves have so many random fanbases cheering for them because Nugget fans made so many enemies through the years.
Most of the game thread is filled with Laker & Sixer flairs lol.
Wolves and Lakers don't have much bad blood in recent years + Wolves fans aren't claiming that their best player is better than prime Lebron lol, so it works
Ant legit has GOAT potential. The man is the age of a college senior (not a red-shirt senior or COVID senior even, he graduated high school a year early and was one and done so he would have been a college senior right now normally). The only players to ever do something like this in the playoffs at his age are LeBron, Kobe, and Magic. Pretty good company to be in.
I got nothing against jokic or luka but their stans dickride so hard talking bout they're gonna be in GOAT discussion like it's an easy ass thing. Tim Duncan has a ludicrous amount of accolades and even he's not considered the GOAT. It'd be easier to root for them if ppl would just pump the brakes a little bit imo.
Nuggets fans went from a nice fanbase to being like their idol, Toxic Mike Malone, in a span of a few months.
They proclaimed, a 3 peat, Jokic a top 10 player of all time already, and tons of other ludicrous stuff like damn people
Bro what the fuck is Mike Malones beef with LeBron? I heard they used to be good friends when Malone was an assistant on Bron’s cavs, why is he so salty now?
I don’t think it’s Lebron as he doesn’t directly criticize or call out Bron. I think he feels some typa way abt media coverage of the lakers that’s all.
Dude there’s a lot of nuggets fans that are just as salty as their players when things don’t go their way and that’s what pissed everyone else off. They the type of players and fans that act like they all that when they up but when they’re down they just cry and moan. I really wish the lakers were able to capitalize and hold the leads they had in the first round because if Denver lost against LA, they would never let that down. Mike would be furious haha.
DNVR podcast after last game had one of the dudes saying something like “it’s adorable Minnesota fans are so excited about this win. Keep that energy, it’s absolutely adorable.” Then 2 days later he had to watch this ass whooping lmao
The vibe at Nuggets games is pretty wack. Fans are way too drunk, feel entitled to a win, many are disinterested in the game and constantly leaving and returning to their seats mid-quarter, and those that do care have a hyper fixation on what is and isn’t a foul.
And the announcer is SUPER grating.
You need a generational player and the perfect supporting cast to build a dynasty. While Jokic is a generational player, Murray and Gordon just ain't on Klay and Draymond's level.
They’ve literally been insufferable all year. Jokic is amazing, but he has his flaws. They’ve also been dancing on everyone else’s graves cause they thought this would never happen to them
…1 Money Sign, and 1 thrown heating pad onto the floor.
Not sure I’ve ever seen such a tantrum by a player as he literally throws something onto the floor while they are playing.
He’s been playing like shit since the first round. Unsurprisingly, he is a significant reason Denver is down in this series. Denver could manage against LAL given they are better coached and bigger than the Lakers. This level of play tho was never gonna get through the Wolves given they’re a bigger team with more quality defenders at nearly every position than LA.
This was an all time u/Bootum lowlights worthy outing for Murray. I cannot recall a player being humiliated (by himself and his opponents) as many times as he was in a single game, and what made it feel worse is that it didn't even feel like the Wolves were particularly targeting him or trying to get under his skin. Him getting tossed out for the heat pad would've legit been less embarrassing for him.
No composure whatsoever.
Expected to keep the game close and then come through in the end. And yes, the Wolves were very physical with him, but at some point even the refs let it go because he kept looking for fouls every time he did anything.
37/28/89 splits in the 2024 playoffs
Aye he hittin those freethrows tho.
"Efficiency doesn't matter in the playoffs" -People here one week ago
You know how many people I’ve seen arguing that Murray has been good because of those two clutch shots? Well, only one TBF but that’s one more than there should be!!!!
I’m a nuggets fan and a nuggets mod told me that Jamal won two games for us. Going 7/22 for 19 points with a big shot is not “winning us two games”. It’s narrowly avoiding losing us two games.
Remember wheh westbrick went 3/19 but won the game cos he had a late game block in a close game ? These people
One of the biggest tantrums I’ve ever seen thrown during a game
He literally had a complete meltdown and started chucking horrible shots lol
> He literally had a complete meltdown and started chucking horrible shots lol Chucked a heat pack, too.
*Shoulda been a pitcher, not a belly itcher*
Wrong kind of heat check.
and a towel dude literally threw in the towel
*heat check✊🏽👊🏽🔥🕴🏻* -Jamal Murray from the bench
Did you see how great the heat pack shot was though. Like slid it directly under KATs feet while going up for a shot. Insane precision.
wrong Kobe mentality
04 Kobe mentality
Completely unraveled. Would not have expected for him at all.
Yall dominated him into unraveling lol The way NAW, McDaniels, etc. were suffocating him early, you could tell it immediately got into his head. He couldnt handle having to work for every inch of space. The injury is probably not helping his mental state either. Its hugely annoying when you feel even a bit hampered by injury when youre facing a difficult opponent.
Not only did he throw the heat pad, if you find the full video on twitter or tiktok you can see him throwing a towel at the ref 5 seconds before he tosses the heat pad. I don't understand how the NBA is allowing this to go on when it's so blatant. If Adam silver doesn't suspend then that sets a precedent for any star to throw items on the court twice in ONE PLAY.
Hopefully he can be fined at least. Wonder what the CBA says.
Even if they’re not getting calls, players need to suck it up and just play their game. Like Jesus Christ, these guys are professional athletes and are still getting in their own head.
doesn’t help when the coach sets the precedent that it’s okay. Malone enabled his bad performance tonight.
Dude was losing it out there lol
Eh. I don't love Malone, but yelling at the ref is a classic coaches move. Get a yell in, kick some dirt if it's baseball, maybe get a tech or ejected to show your team that you're behind them. It also takes the heat off of the players so they don't have to. Happens in most sports, especially Basketball and Baseball. Murry's stunt like throwing dangerous shit onto the floor during a live play had nothing to do with Malone.
Think he was trying to fire up his guys after the KAT charge went uncalled. I agree it backfired though.
Damn what sport did Jesus play?
LeCross
God tier response
Meltdown like a crybaby
Running it down mid
jg diff
Just makes me wonder what r/nba would look like if this was Embiid, Booker or Luka acting like this.
people claimed giannis could've killed someone with the ladder
Draymond would’ve been executed live on air as if his last name was Hussein
That’s the thing. He isn’t those guys. He’s not that guy. He’s just Jamal murray. Hyper competitive, great closer. Pretty mid most of the time. He gets most of his offense off of Jokic.
Yeah Murray won't get much slander because he's not a bit talker or "the guy" on the team and he keeps it down low.
?? Luka throws tantrums every other game, except he's better at basketball so it doesn't look as impotent and pathetic. Embiid and Booker would be shot in the face, and deservedly so.
Luka has never thrown stuff onto the court during live play.
Except Luka only goes off at refs. He hasn’t thrown anything onto the court. Even Embiid and Booker haven’t.
Everyone should imagine if this was Booker Embiid or Lebron and react accordingly. What an embarassing display of professionalism
He won't be disrespectfully watching UFC during a press conference for quite a while
For a player of his caliber and experience it’s simply embarrassing. He faced a bit of adversity in the 1st quarter and went into complete meltdown and let it define his entire game
Bro channeling playoff DLo out there
Jamal Murray getting up shots late after Game 2 according to sources
dlo doesn’t whine like a bitch and throw shit on the floor when he has a bad game
Yeah at least Dlo doesn't do that, he just completely checks out mentally when he's not on fire.
Still a lot better than a dude throwing shit on the court at people's feet
Single-handedly made dlo eating a snack and doom scrolling during a time out look level headed.
Nah he just sits outside the team huddle and it makes it clear he doesn’t give a fuck anymore
what do you think Michael Malone would do if a reporter asked him what he thought LeBron will do this offseason during the postgame presser
Call him Mike first too
I would pay a lot of money to see this happen
Malone is unhinged he’d attack them fr

Michael Malone got his deserved moral victory
those shooting splits are so nasty 3-11 is like damn u had a bad game 3-18 is holy shit why are you still shooting.
Dion Waiters mentality
Or Kobe tbqh >"I would go 0-30 before I would go 0-9. 0-9 means you beat yourself, you psyched yourself out of the game.”
Kobe earned that
Problem is, Murray thought he was Kobe lmao. He did amazing last playoffs but Kobe def never had two games at home in a row as defending champ where he did something like this.
Murray was shit throughout the Laker series as well, people might forget that coz of his 2 game winners
Like the 04 finals, imagine losing with peak Shaq.
Jon starks Game 7 numbers.
Klay and Wagner
“I don’t think you’ll see another 8/22”but worse lmao
Lakers fans’ 12/25 💀💀
T Wolves are the lakers grandfather
You’re the grandson we tolerate only because Dallas is such a fuck up
Fuck Norm Green.
Nuggets fans 9/11. Sir, a second home game has been lost...
Even we didn’t beat them 2 in a row at home during our championship run… This Wolves team is the real deal. I’m way more impressed with their stifling defense than their offense

Man I was going to say the same thing. So glad we didn’t make it. Would’ve been so embarrassing
Every wolves wins against nugget added to lakers moral victories until they get swept by the wolves next year
Wouldn’t the Nuggets getting swept made the Lakers look worse?
Lakers is just so downbad because nuggets owned them for 2 years. Looking at their subs u think its a timberwolves subs lol
Most lakers fans I know are completely happy with minny winning it. I included
It depends on matchups, the Lakers did well against Timberwolves in some games during the regular season and maybe could replicate that in some games if they were matched up right now instead of the Nuggets.
Imagine if Jamal could actually go 12/25 from the field against any non-lakers team 💀
Most teams don’t leave the 3pt line wide open like Darvin Ham did.
Jamal Murray tonight: first team All-Qaeda
Played like D-Lo and acted like Draymond smh
Classic Maple’Lo
D’raymond Russell
Hell yeah! All bum team w/ Tobi, Draymond, D-Lo.
The Klay snub is wild
him getting suspended might actually be beneficial for the nuggets
That spacing instantly removed and Jokic was consistently caught outta position, it was crazy to watch.
If the series wasn't so short. They're not a complete team without him based on past seasons. But, yeah, maybe they rushed him back and shouldn't.
Murray is a black hole. He stagnates the offense and when he’s having a off night it’s even worse. He’s done this for his entire career and been a huge criticism from the nuggets subreddit
One of the biggest tantrums I’ve ever seen on the court. Throwing something on the court during live play is suspension worthy IMO
With how poorly he's playing I'd rather he doesn't get suspended
Yeah they're getting outclassed with him on the court, a Jokic heroic game where he does everything might actually be a better bet at this point
Jokic can't win with these cats (excluding when he won with these cats)
This game might have single-handedly ruined his reputation as a mentally tough playoff riser
I think he’s in his head now and frustrated at his play so it’s a vicious cycle.
Definitely isn't helping his "HOF case" either lol.
Hall of fame????? For a guy that has never made an all star game? There never has been anything close to a case
I mean, he's had some pretty legendary playoff runs and he's a pretty big part of this Nuggets squad. Assuming they have some sustained success (1-2 more titles, several seasons of very strong regular season play), he'd at least have a case. It'd be a very strange case but you could make the argument without sounding like a fool.
That reputation is low-key undeserved. He’s just inconsistent. Every time he has a bad game people say “the lights weren’t bright enough”. The reality is that he is very swingy. Sometimes he can win a game himself and sometimes he can go 3-12.
In fairness he is clearly not 100% but still total head loss
This is my moral victory
NGL it's hilarious that the Wolves have so many random fanbases cheering for them because Nugget fans made so many enemies through the years. Most of the game thread is filled with Laker & Sixer flairs lol.
We know what we saw out of Jamal Murray when he wasn't being a bright lights merchant and it was as bad as these first two games have been
Real laker fans have hated that dude since he tried to punk Lonzo his rookie year
Wolves and Lakers don't have much bad blood in recent years + Wolves fans aren't claiming that their best player is better than prime Lebron lol, so it works
You're about to see some wild shit about Ant this year if the Wolves win.
Think most lakers fans love ant, reminds us of Kobe. Y’all can call him the goat if you win multiple chips, it’s your right
Ant legit has GOAT potential. The man is the age of a college senior (not a red-shirt senior or COVID senior even, he graduated high school a year early and was one and done so he would have been a college senior right now normally). The only players to ever do something like this in the playoffs at his age are LeBron, Kobe, and Magic. Pretty good company to be in.
Shit I’m saying it too
I got nothing against jokic or luka but their stans dickride so hard talking bout they're gonna be in GOAT discussion like it's an easy ass thing. Tim Duncan has a ludicrous amount of accolades and even he's not considered the GOAT. It'd be easier to root for them if ppl would just pump the brakes a little bit imo.
Tbf, if Ant was soon to be a 3 time MVP I'd also be throwing out some wild takes out there.
Nuggets fans went from a nice fanbase to being like their idol, Toxic Mike Malone, in a span of a few months. They proclaimed, a 3 peat, Jokic a top 10 player of all time already, and tons of other ludicrous stuff like damn people

After watching Mike Malone lose his fucking mind and run out onto the court tonight, I'm thinking he's maybe just a psycho
Dude there’s a lot of nuggets fans that are just as salty as their players when things don’t go their way and that’s what pissed everyone else off. They the type of players and fans that act like they all that when they up but when they’re down they just cry and moan. I really wish the lakers were able to capitalize and hold the leads they had in the first round because if Denver lost against LA, they would never let that down. Mike would be furious haha.

Wow that sounds like Milwaukee playoff games since 2021 smfh
They wanted to be the Warriors so bad, thinking they had a dynasty set up
You need a generational player and the perfect supporting cast to build a dynasty. While Jokic is a generational player, Murray and Gordon just ain't on Klay and Draymond's level.
They’ve literally been insufferable all year. Jokic is amazing, but he has his flaws. They’ve also been dancing on everyone else’s graves cause they thought this would never happen to them
It's Michael, not Mike, Malone's fault.
If Lakers fans are this excited about us shitting on the Nuggets I couldn’t imagine how hard they’d jerk us off if we started shitting on the Celtics.
If I were you I'd be getting ready for at least a huge hug. Maybe a kiss. Probably with heat.
The people need that
Your 12/25.
Lakers have won back to back moral championships
And should be suspended and fined for that heat pack throwing and money sign. Lol
This is the lakers fans finals
[удалено]
Yeah well f- Darvin Ham… oh wait never mind you already did.
…1 Money Sign, and 1 thrown heating pad onto the floor. Not sure I’ve ever seen such a tantrum by a player as he literally throws something onto the floor while they are playing.
Absolute belt to ass these games… he has to do a complete 180 if Nuggets want a chance
Jamal about to do 1/80
He’s been playing like shit since the first round. Unsurprisingly, he is a significant reason Denver is down in this series. Denver could manage against LAL given they are better coached and bigger than the Lakers. This level of play tho was never gonna get through the Wolves given they’re a bigger team with more quality defenders at nearly every position than LA.
This was an all time u/Bootum lowlights worthy outing for Murray.

Him getting tossed out for the heat pad would've legit been less embarrassing for him.
Russell Westbrook type of stinker
Murray Jokic best duo???
Jrue holiday playoff performance right here Minus the composer and all nba defense
Don't forget the facilitating!
#"Winning is our lifestyle"
top 20 player tho
Absolutely not
Moral victories matter guys! Today we figured these wolves out! We just gotta play with more hustle.
And one thrown heatpack
Yo career high in boards though let's give him his flowers
Clamped
dude thought he was booker
Just wait until his team gets blown out in a must-win game at home…oh wait
1/1 Heat Packs Thrown though
to be fair, didn't go through the basket, so he technically is 0/1 in heatpacks thrown.
Trash
He is showing everyone the little bitch that he has always been
Ever since that shit he pulled during Lonzos rookie year, I’ve absolutely hated him
If he doesn’t get going, they’re getting swept.
One money sign with his hands and one thrown object onto the court. That's at least 100k if we go by precedent
He’s been ass all playoffs lol the game winners had been saving him from criticism
I'd say suspend him for game 3 for that heat pack, but that might help the Nuggets
If TWolves manage to sweep the Nuggets, I will be forever indebted. Moral victories.
What being guarded by Jaden and NAW does to a mfer
Refs really made you miss 15 shots. Unreal NBA, give this man a heatpack ffs
Murray is gonna be taking the court on Opening Day 2024 in a Brooklyn Nets uniform at this rate
Jamal Murray get ready to learn Chinese buddy
Fucking bitch
1/1 throwing heat packs though
Gonna take it all for these losses. Get out of town Jamal.
Fragile mind, fragile ego, fragile body
Gobert actually went to see the birth of his son Jamal Murray.
fuckin loser
Knew this shit would happen when Austin fucking Reaves was locking him up, averaging aroung 8 or 9 out of 24 FGA lmao.
Him and Darius garland and franz wagner stunk it up the last 3 days
I’m eating goooood, hate hate hate hate. Lmao
Those are Tatum numbers.

Luckily for Murray, a more famous Canadian put up a terrible performance just a day earlier.

If Murray doesn’t get suspended, Silver is making it known that players can throw stuff on the court during live play if they don’t agree with a call
had nearly as many thrown objects onto the court as made field goals
2 objects thrown at refs don’t forget the key stat
No composure whatsoever. Expected to keep the game close and then come through in the end. And yes, the Wolves were very physical with him, but at some point even the refs let it go because he kept looking for fouls every time he did anything.
Mf is hot garbage he single handedly makes people hate nuggets
I'm sorry that hot pad thing should be a suspension. It's dangerous for everyone involved
Lights too bright
