It wasn't a great game but could we give the team a couple of minutes before we all try to fire Finch or trade our beloved Naz? i dont think they're dead yet. wolves in 6

Raw Stats:

Ant: 27.7 ppg, 5.7 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 60.9% ts, 1.6 steals, 2.7 turnovers, +43, 4 wins and 1 Jamal Murray hot pack thrown on the court

Nikola Jokic: 29.0, 11.4 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 59.6% ts, 3.4 turnovers, -8,

Look, I'm not going to make a strong statistical case, though Ant had a strong statistical series. The nature of Jokic's game and his prowess is that the stats are always good. But Ant dominated his minutes in a close series, and Jokic lost his. Pair that with Ant's dominant defensive play, scoring gravity, and Jokic's limitations as a rim protector against Ant and Co, and high turnovers and I think Ant had more of a winning impact.

I think this new iteration of Denver is even less suited to stop Ant, and he's better now, so I'm predicting we see it again. Wolves in...
