Rudy Gobert deserves a lot of credit tonight. He got cooked by everyone over the last two days and came back and played a great game – 10:43 PM

Rudy Gobert is playing his best game of the series by far. He’s got the entire Nuggets rotation seeing stars around the rim. – 10:19 PM

Denver usually sits Jokic at the beginning of the 2nd and 4th quarters, but they’ve adjusted that tonight and he just hasn’t sat yet midway through the 2nd.

Today on the podcast, @MotorCityHoops and I actually broke down the tape on the Jokic vs. Gobert stuff.
