00:00Nuggets beat the Thunder 119 to 107. Series tied 3-3 now at Game 7 on Sunday. Nuggets late getting it done. Unlike Games 4 and 5 where the Nuggets struggled in the fourth quarter, they did not struggle in the fourth quarter last night on ESPN.
00:20A moment to go on the bench, but back on the floor with a team-high 25 points. Jokic rested the first four minutes and seven seconds. He's come back fresh. And Jokic from deep gives Denver a 12-point lead. Points of the paint up as well. Jokic, oh, what a pass! No look to Christian Brown! Defensive rebound Murray.
00:43Just six points for Jalen Williams. That would have made it a six-point game. Westbrook attacking. Gets the layoff!
00:53Yeah, I don't know how many times I've said this, that Christian Brown, I think, you know, perfect example of what Joker does for guys around him, right?
01:02This guy just getting fed buckets. He was 8 of 14 from the floor. He was perfect from the line. He had his best game ever in the playoffs.
01:1223-11, double-double with five assists. I thought, you know, he had three steals to boot. I thought Christian Brown stood out for me.
01:25And then Joker did his normal thing, 9 of 14. I thought Murray's 25-87 with the Jordan flu game.
01:32We always hear about these guys that are sick, and I never buy it. Guys that are sick play the best games of their lives the night they're sick.
01:38Have you ever seen anything like it? Like, oh, he's got the flu. It's automatic. The guy's going for 25 or 30.
01:46It's usually how it goes, right? They played that up all day yesterday. He's sick. He's questionable. He's got sniffles.
01:54They're showing him on the bench, you know, sitting on the chair. Like, he played. Like, calm down. Just enough.
02:03He got 25.
02:04I'd rather play well.
02:05That was the deal. You know, off the bench, he had 15 points. All of them in the second half gave them some really big minutes.
02:13Joker, 29-14-8. Murray with the 25 and Christian Brown with 23. He's really taken to another level this year and in this playoffs.
02:24I thought Brown had been real good for the Nuggets here.
02:27One thing for them also, before we start talking about Sunday, Gordon hurt his hamstring towards the end of that game.
02:35Gordon did pull up. He said afterwards he thought he would be all right, but, you know, that's maybe where that extra day, Scotty, will come in to help them out.
02:44But you know how those hamstrings work. You pull those like that, get a little tight. It takes a little while to get that back going for you.
02:51I got to be honest with you, though, and I know this won't go over well, but I think he's just too tough, too physical.
02:58He's a monster. I think he's a badass. And then I think Steph's kind of a wussy.
03:02I think Steph's a great shooter, but he's like, you know, candy.
03:07Like, he pulled his hammy. He's done. And their season ended.
03:10Gordon pulls his hammy. He'll play in that game seven, as sure as I'm sitting here.
03:15He'll literally come out with a wrap around his thigh and his hamstring.
03:22You know, and he'll, you know, my guess would be he'll shove needles in his leg before the game.
03:27Anything it takes. Toradol, heroin, whatever it is, he'll play.
03:33Curry, be out a month. Gordon will be out. Not one game he'll miss. He'll play.
03:37Not only will he play, he'll go off. He's still going to do what he does.
03:42And he is a problem. This guy is a grown man.
03:47I mean, he is huge. And he's tough and physical.
03:50He reminds me of Randall in that he can do it all.
03:55And he can bang. And you do not want to mess with him.
03:58You remember the day, like, what was it, two weeks ago?
04:01Like, somebody took a swing at him. Like, he'll kill you.
04:04Like, this guy, you don't want to get in a fight with this dude.
04:07He will mess you up. He's enormous.
04:10And I wouldn't F with him at all.
04:13I mean, I'm not even kidding you. Look at Curry.
04:15Oh, my. Oh.
04:17Oh.
04:17And then this guy's like, after the game, he goes, yeah, I pulled it.
04:21But he's like, screw it. I'll be there Sunday.
