About this episode
Ryan Blackburn discusses the Denver Nuggets 126-114 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Nikola Jokic had 27 points, 20 rebounds, and 11 assists, but because he only shot 50% from the field, the Nuggets lost. Jokic is being asked to do too much, and even though Michael Porter Jr. was very good and Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon were solid, it wasn't enough. Ryan discusses the game, the differences between the Cavs and Nuggets, and where Calvin Booth fits in to this problem.
