This Nuggets vs. Timberwolves series was all over the place.
The road team won four of six games.
There were no games where the score was 7 points or less.
Three of those games were decided by a difference of 25 points or more.
But one thing remains the same. That means Jamal Murray is struggling.
Murray averaged just 15.7 points, but shot 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 38.2 percent overall against Minnesota's strong lineup of perimeter defenders. ing.
Despite hitting two winning shots in the first round, Murray's struggles began even before the semifinals.
In the Nuggets' opening series against the Lakers, Murray shot just 40 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from 3-point range.
However, Murray put up far more volume in that series, supporting an average of 23.6 points on 24 shots per game.
Murray may simply not be healthy enough to play Robin in Nikola Jokic's Batman.
In Game 4 against the Lakers, Murray injured his calf and almost missed Game 5 of that series.
Then, early in Thursday's Game 6 loss to the Timberwolves, Murray collided with Rudy Gobert and suffered an elbow injury that could have kept him out of Sunday's game.
He had just 4 hits and 10 runs for 18 at bats, but admitted after the game that his elbow had thrown him off rhythm.
“I hope for the team as well,” Murray said. “I hope we can work it out.”

Whether it's due to injuries or the Timberwolves' league-best defense, Murray averaged 21.2 points, shot 42.5 percent from three and shot 48.1 percent overall during the regular season. is retreating.
Through six games, Murray has yet to show he understands the Wolves or is healthy enough to understand them, so I'm once again underwhelmed by him.
