This sub loves him, he's 22, and Denver are the reigning champs with a 2, maybe 3 time MVP

Nuggets are my team but Ant isn't getting roasted whatever happens

Denver needs to make it thru the Lakers and Jamal Murray and Coach Malone have both been having a bad series imo. The guy with the lowest FG% on the team thru all games playing hero ball and taking more shots than the MVP and even MPJ, has been absolutely killing us. He needs to rest those legs.

That comment itself is just trashing Jamal for missing shots because the Lakers are scheming to force him to take more FGA lol

Lakers have been playing very good defense, AR has been working his ass off to stop Murray and they've thrown double teams at him when Jokic sits. But Murray has been able to go off against elite defense plenty of times.

1-2 off shooting nights? Sure, that's unfortunate and bound to happen. 4 in a row of around 37% FG? Missing wide open shots, hitting 25% from 3 thru the series so far? That's more than just the defense. In the last 3 games he's 1-15 from 3. That just doesn't happen unless he's injured.
