The Nuggets also had Gordon bringing the ball up most of the time so that Murray wouldn't get harrassed as much and they could get into their half-court sets faster

[tristanharris]

People forget about the Nugget's double 3-1 comebacks in 2020.

Denver sleepwalked through the Lalers series and I think getting beaten twice at home was the punch in the mouth they needed to snap into focus

[noconsent]

It gets scary when Gordon starts hitting 3s. With so many threats to worry about, the last thing you want is the defense getting spaced out by Gordon.

[BrennanDipippo]

I trust Denver and their offensive IQ to prevail in this series. They got smacked in the mouth to start this series, but as the old adage goes; never underestimate a champion

[zeldascholes]

Those jokic screens tho, crushing the wing defenders

[MindfulAttraction.]

6:00 i swear to you if you watch bird in 87 he did a lot of pick. and rolls and a lot of his passes were like that. Insane angles like that one

[mikevismyelement]

When the 2nd best player doesn't shoot 28%, the Nuggets are a good team

[justright_]

Media always shifts narrative in a game by game basis 😂

[tokyotalkshoops]

No joke Murray is one of the smoothest players I’ve ever seen

[jordanjenkins]

Fantastic breakdowns of this series. Watching the game on TV, and then watching your breakdowns afterwards really helps show the basketball chess happening on the court to counteract the previous game's winner's strategy.

This is the first time all playoffs that the Nuggets have played their game, and when they play their game there's not a team in the league that can beat them in 7 games. We'll see Sunday.

Here because awful coaching has been trolling you!!!

Redovno vrhunsko objašnjenje tekmi, sve sa akcijama i potezima. Svaka čast, nervozno čekamo sledeći video!

[Jamie.Bryant]

These videos are so valuable to me. Best way to learn about teams game plans mid-series. Thanks Thinking Basketball 💯

[Henwin]

People also need to give a bunch of credit to how Jokic set those screens. The screens were absolutely crucial in executing their offense. It's not hounded enough to the younger generation on how to set proper screens. It keeps the PnR defense honest.

4:42 had me crying. I watched it over and over and I can’t think of what he’s during. It’s like his brain sent of an alarm but didn’t know what for

[noelandrewlibo-on]

it was just amazing that i opened youtube just to watch if thinking basketball released a video of nuggets adjustments and voila! uploaded 15 minutes ago 😂

[sostdm]

In My opinion you can beat a defense like the Timberwolves have with the right amount of patience and proper aggressiveness plus incredible shot making balance is everything if you want to score against a defense like this.

@07:30 Watched the whole game, and this possession was eerily reminiscent of the 2014 Spurs. Absolutely sublime! 🥰🤩
