But that was a little bit indicative of their whole night. I think Jamal Murray, he hit a couple of tough shots. I mean, this was not the explosion that we saw from Jamal Murray in Game 5. But he hit tough shots when they needed it.

The issue is you just didn't have enough guys hitting shots. You had Russell Westbrook. He blows a dunk, blows a big layup. He misses a wide-open three from the top of the key. Those are backbreakers for a team that is trying to fight back. But this is sort of where the nuggets are.

You know, they have, I guess, what, four guys, four and a half guys that you really can count on for the full 48 minutes. And it depends on what you're getting out of Jamal Murray. I mean, looking ahead to game seven, I don't want to get too ahead of ourselves. But, you know, Jamal Murray tends to step up in big moments, right? This was a moment I thought that Jamal really needed to back up.

From game five, he put up 43. I think he needed to have another huge night in this game and try to shut the Clippers down. Otherwise, you need just more out of Jokic. He's got to be more aggressive. And it's tough. It's tough to ask this guy that's done so much to get him here to continue to do it every single night. At some point, somebody else has stepped up like we saw in game four and five.

Yeah, it's physical. This guy, I want to give him credit, right? Like this guy's had a back surgery. He's obviously had an injury history that is a mile long. We know about the red flags for him coming out in the draft. He hasn't been healthy his entire career. And then he he suffers this shoulder injury in this series. And I mean, he's been laboring the entire time he's been coming back.

And I think it's one of those injuries where he's going to have it some nights and he's not some others. And it's got to be tough with the short turnaround. They finish up the game the other night, they hop on a plane, fly out here, and now they've got to turn around and go back to Denver to do this again Saturday night.

And so you start to worry, like, okay, well, if he looks like this in game six, it's only going to maybe be worse in game seven. But they closed with Russell Westbrook. And I think that that's pretty telling. Right. Like he had a really great game five. But you know how it is with Russ. Right. Like you're going to get the good and you're going to get the bad.
