'They're going to sweep the Denver Nugget. Period.'
Monday night and now own a 6-0 record in the playoffs and a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series against Denver. Game 3 is Friday night in Minneapolis, but before we get there, let's dive into five things that stood out in Game 2."We saw one of the best defensive teams I've ever seen," said Charles Barkley during the TNT halftime show."Even without , this is one of the best defensive teams I've ever seen.
Midway through the first quarter Nuggets coach Michael Malone sprinted onto the court and yelled with ferocity in the face of official Mark Davis. Davis stood his ground and appeared to tell Aaron Gordon to get his coach under control. Somehow, Malone wasn't issued a technical foul.Michael Malone was absolutely irate with Marc Davis at the timeout. There's been no signal for a T. That's the most animated I've ever seen a coach with an official and not get a T.
It’s going to be interesting how the Nuggets are going to look in Game 3 without Murray… because he’s most likely getting suspended for throwing that Heat Pack. If Murray is suspended for Game 3, the Nuggets' depth will be a major question because backup point guard Reggie Jackson had to be helped to the locker room with what the TNT broadcast described as"calf tightness."Morris played eight minutes in Game 2 before an injury to his right index finger knocked him out of the game. It's unclear if the injury will prevent him from playing in Game 3 Friday night. Morris only played three minutes in Game 1.
The only way Morris missing time would be significant is if Minnesota were to see other key players, like Anthony Edwards, Mike Conley or Nickeil Alexander-Walker, get hurt."It's gonna be a challenge," Malone said when asked if he's optimistic about Denver coming back from on 0-2 hole."The body language of our guys, it's not where I think it needs to be. We just got beat up in our building, we got embarrassed in front of our fans.
