Just started from the beginning but saying Denver folks can't talk about SGA's free throws because Jamal Murray actually got a whistle is delusional.
Jamal averaged 4 FTA per game this season compared to SGA's 9.
Including this game, Jamal averages 3.7 FTA per game vs the Timberwolves over their last 20 games. 16 FTA was his career high in a game.
Acting like he was grifting fouls because for the only time in his career he got a whistle against a defense that's notoriously physical – especially vs the Nuggets – is crazzzy
I just want to see the Nuggets lose again.
Shai grifts and it detracts from his game. Murray does not grift. He is the only player in NBA history to score 50 points in a game without a free throw. Jokic tries to grift, but doesn’t get the calls. Jokic is at his best when he blocks out the whistle.
9:46 Ku chill on Jamal, he got fouled shooting, not by jumping into a moving defender.
Really sad saying Murray and SGA's free throws are comparable
4 of Murray's free throws were technicals like when Jokic got pushed in the back
What a clown take. I don’t think Murray flopped though. Like at all. None of the grifting shit and flopping that everything sees from SGA. That shit is so obviously coached. Had Hollywood professionals come teach the team the art of acting. Ever seen Isiah Hartenstein pretend like he takes a forearm shiver to his head…when in fact he was untouched and acting…
4 of Mal's FTs were techs and he was aggressive going downhill 🤷♀️
Ku, Nug fans will stop complaining when Jok gets all the calls that SGA gets. Joker only got one foul shot last night. SGA was getting foul calls and wasn't even playing last night.
For those of you not into Nuggets media, Swipa here 4:50 . Always onnpoint pronouncing Jokics name. Big up Swipa!
