The suspense was finally dragged to the last moment.
In this life-and-death duel, the Clippers beat the game back and forced them to score a tiebreak.
Nuggets' dynasty is about to overturn, and a playoff team that relies on only six people to rotate is simply unable to support the championship dream. In the past two games, the Nuggets' third leader Porter's knee injury has made him unable to perform effectively. The Nuggets' bench has almost become a decoration, and Jokic and these defeated players may not escape.
The Clippers really found the password to defeat the defending champion this time.
Jokic is indeed brave, Murray is still showing his edge, but the Nuggets are exhausted. They can almost rely on six players to support them. Once the main players end up, the team is like a deflated ball, and the offense and defense completely collapse. During the few minutes Jokic rested, the Nuggets' inside line was in a vacuum and could be slaughtered.
Can't even find a substitute center who can play, so who can the Nuggets count on?
Jordan Jordan averaged 3.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per game in the regular season, but he was still the only substitute center choice for the Nuggets. The depth of the lineup of this team is as thin as a cicada. Although Porter was still insisting on playing, his knee injury made him a decoration on the court, and his 24-minute playing time was almost in vain.
The operations of the Nuggets management in recent years have been a disaster.
Since winning the championship trophy in 2023, the Nuggets' lineup has begun to fall apart, and a series of wrong decisions have cost this small market team a heavy price. Those role players who stayed behind were either serious salary premiums or were plagued by injuries. High-paying substitutes like Zike Najib and Sharic now have almost no contribution to the team except for free on the bench. The Clippers are completely different.
Harden, George and Leonard are no longer young, but their competition experience and technical reserves are enough to meet any challenges. More importantly, there is a group of good players on the Clippers' bench who are eager to prove themselves, and everyone can stand up at critical moments.
is so sharp that it is sad.
The Nuggets' current situation is like a luxury car with only half a tank of gas left. The engine roar is still shocking, but it may shut down at any time. No matter how strong Jokic and Murray are, they cannot turn the tide without team support.
Why did the Nuggets fall into such a situation? It’s very simple, greed and short-sightedness have made them lose their championship background. The management failed to retain key players, but offered sky-high contracts for some marginal talents. This kind of operation was either stupid or bad. No matter how great Jokic is, basketball is a game of five people after all, not to mention the firepower support of substitutes. The
The tiebreak battle is about to begin.
Nuggets will have little hope of turning around unless Jokic and Murray perform super godly. If a team at the playoff level can only rely on six-man rotation and are troubled by injuries, it is impossible for them to go further.
The Clippers have already smelled the breath of victory, and this is the best time for them to avenge their previous shame.
Revisiting this series, the Nuggets' problems are much more than just the surface. Their collapse begins with wrong decisions from management and those wasted payroll space. If it weren't for superstars like Jokic, they might not even be able to enter the playoffs.
No matter how great Jokic is, he only has two hands after all, and basketball has never been a game for one person.
The competition on the court sometimes compares not only the strength of the players, but also the vision and operational wisdom of the management. The Nuggets have paid the price, and their dynasty dreams are likely to be shattered.
