Jokic made the words clear after the game, Murray was overconfident! Westbrook laughed happily, and Edwards was also looked down upon

The Nuggets played away against the Thunder on May 19. At the end of the game, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder 93-125. Although the Nuggets performed well after the first quarter, when Westbrook, Watson and other substitutes started playing, the Thunder began to play an offensive climax, and what made the Nuggets even more uncomfortable was that even if Jokic and others returned, it would be difficult to stop the team's decline, especially when the Thunder made a 9-0 wave at the beginning of the third quarter, the Nuggets completely collapsed. Although the Nuggets did not give up the game in the subsequent games, the situation on the field was already destined. After all, the Nuggets could not attack and defend at this time. In the end, seeing this situation, the Nuggets could only give up the game.

Although the Nuggets were a life-and-death battle in this game, Jokic did not play well in this game. When Caruso successfully defended Jokic, Jokic played extremely difficult in the game. In the end, Jokic scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in this game. Jokic only scored 3 points in the second half. When asked after the game whether the Nuggets have the ability to win the championship, Jokic said: I mean, we didn't do it, and I don't like talking about the topic of 'if'. It can be seen that Jokic also made the statement clear after the game. It is obvious that Jokic does not like assumption issues, and as Jokic said, the Nuggets are not able to compete for the championship, especially in today's game, the Nuggets are really quite far from winning the championship.

At the same time, after this game, when asked whether the Nuggets' core lineup could win another championship, Murray said: I am 100% confident that we are just a little bit short of today. It can be seen that Murray is very confident about the Nuggets winning the championship, but one thing is to say that Murray is really overconfident. After all, there are still problems with the core lineup of the Nuggets. Porter is certainly affected by injury, but Porter played very unstable in the regular season. When Porter was not injured in the first round of the playoffs, he also struggled very much. Secondly, there are problems with the starting lineup of the Nuggets. Although Braun has impact, Braun is not a stable scoring point, so the Nuggets sometimes need Jokic to stand up and hit three-pointers, not to mention that Murray himself is not stable. Therefore, when the Nuggets have various problems, Murray said that the Nuggets are only a little bit away from winning the championship, which is really overconfident.

As for the Nuggets lost the game, Westbrook laughed happily when he greeted Alexander after the game. It was obvious that although the Nuggets were eliminated, Westbrook, as the former Thunder player, was still happy for the team. For Westbrook himself, although he has performed well this season, when the Nuggets lost the game, Westbrook was still questioned a lot. Even if the team did not lose the game, but because Westbrook's data was not good, many people think that Westbrook should take responsibility. But just like today's game, the Nuggets' defeat cannot be blamed for Westbrook. Even when the main players of the Nuggets cannot stop the team's decline, it is not a realistic thing to rely on Westbrook as a substitute to save the team, especially when Murray shoots 6 of 16 and 1 of 8 three-pointers, it is obviously unfair to blame Westbrook for it.

After this game, famous speaker Skip posted a social media comment: Alexander was stronger than Edwards, and the Thunder won 7 games. It can be seen that Edwards is the side that is underestimated, but in the playoffs Edwards averaged 26.5 points, 8 rebounds, 5.9 assists per game, Alexander averaged 29 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6.4 assists per game. Not to mention the data, Edwards did not shoot too much with Alexander, but in the playoffs Edwards obviously played harder than Alexander. You should know that Alexander averaged 8.7 free throws per game, while Edwards averaged 5.7 free throws per game. At the same time, Edwards dared to attack the inside. In contrast, Alexander only frequently shot three-pointers at critical moments, so this is also the key to Alexander being questioned for a while. Moreover, the Timberwolves' lineup length is not worse than the Thunder, so the Thunder cannot be careless against the Timberwolves.
