The Denver Nuggets' victory in Oklahoma is actually a phased victory, but major media still criticized the Nuggets who performed poorly in G2, and the reasons everyone knows that the loss is too ugly. The Thunder scored 87 points in the first half, and the Thunder scored 149 points in the whole game. Only Westbrook was fighting, and the whole team gave up early.

Jamal Murray scored 14 points in 31 minutes, with 4 of 9 shots and 3 of 5 shots; Porter Jr. scored 8 points in 2 of 10 shots; Braun scored 3 of 6 shots; Gordon scored 10 points in 12 shots, and the Nuggets performed better than the starter, especially Westbrook scored 19 points and 5 assists, with the highest score in the team. After the end of G2, the Nuggets averaged scores in the series: Jokic 29.5 points, Westbrook 18.5 points, Murray 17.5 points, Gordon 16 points. I didn’t expect it! Westbrook, who holds 3.3 million, averages higher than Murray, who holds 36.01 million. You should know that Murray's new contract will take effect this summer of 207 million in four years.

In fact, looking at Murray's 9 games in the playoffs, only G5, who played against the Clippers, scored 43 points, 7 assists, and 8, and performed well. In the other games, there were not even a 25+ game, and there were three games that were not 20+.

US media: Jamal Murray is the lazy starting point guard I have ever seen in the league in the defensive end;

US media: I feel that Murray should not even appear because he does not provide anything effective on both sides of the offense and defense.

US fans: Everyone should understand where my dissatisfaction with Murray came from, right? After he played a tough performance, he needed to remain silent for many games. You should know that he is a maximum salary player and he cannot achieve stable output. This is especially true in this round of series. He is not worthy of receiving a maximum salary

.

US media: Murray lost the West after being injured in October-November 23-24, and then played the worst playoffs ever. The 24-25 season is very slow to get into shape, and we are invaded by injuries again. We cannot get the No. 2 seed. Now we are invisible again in the playoffs, and this has been his career.
