We let up just enough to let them in. Stupid.

Awful close to the half. The game isnt over yet.

Incredibly stupid shots.

Naz had an empty side with Jokic guarding him way out in space. Drive the damn ball! Instead he bricks a highly contested 3.

After really bad offense by both teams in game 1, we're watching an offensive masterpiece tonight...both teams over 50% on threes and overall! Very entertaining, but this kind of game favors Denver. We need a lot more defense to bring this one home.

Is it fair to say Rudy got played off the floor with his no impact half and idiotic fouls? He needs to wake up.

We must concede more half court buzzer beaters over the last two seasons than any other team. Unreal.

22 minutes for the guy with an overuse knee injury. Could someone draw a picture for Finch!

Certainly on the offensive end...but his 11 minutes defending Jokic were very impactful. Same with Julius. How often does Jokic get held to 6 points in a half? He's going to be fired up to score in the second half though, so we're going to need Rudy and Ju to keep playing him tough.

It's crazy how the refs will not call fouls on Jokic. He should have at least 2 or 3 more fouls on him that were not called.

He dragged us back out of a near catastophic downward spiral, not sure Finch had a choice. We are at least back in the game, but yeah, not sure how Ant will look in the 4th. Randle needs a big 2nd half.
