Around the NBA - 2024-25 Season Continued Again

[knicks94]

Bad quarter for OKC yet they're only down 5.

[mpharris36]

we dominated DEN in the regular season and we didn't even have Mitch to throw on Jokic.

and boston dominated us

Yes they dominated us but you couldn’t say any of the games besides game 6 weren’t winnable games for them, because they matchup well with us similar reason we would have a chance in a possible Denver matchup. Doesn’t automatically mean we win that series, but I rather play the team we’ve seen repeated success against.

the matchups just make way more sense to me. OKC has length and defense to both Brunson and KAT and play off Hart.

DEN really doesn't have the personnel to take advantage of our weaknesses.

Yes Jokic is one of the best of all time. But I think we can manage the rest of the roster far better.

People say SGA is a foul merchant but is he worse than Jokic?

a lot worse

Yeah idk about that. Jokic is crying and flopping every time he has the ball. Already has 6 free throws while SGA has zero.

[Montmorencie]

Second game in a row Russ is destroying a momentum in the first quarter.

[Worst_to_First]

OKC able to survive Denver’s early onslaught. Nuggets bench really weak.

[knicks94]

Mewtwo and Doris Burke are a nightmare announcing duo.

a lot worse

Yeah idk about that. Jokic is crying and flopping every time he has the ball. Already has 6 free throws while SGA has zero.

I mean a lot of stars try to sell contact. But just look at his FTA every year. SGA nearly clears him by double the attempts in some seasons.

I wouldn't just look at this game. Even in this series SGA has more FTA...and in the regular season its not even close.

[mpharris36]

yeah I think this one is over...OKC was playing a little tight because they haven't been in a game 7...but there talent is just much better than DEN.

[god shammgod]

I hate okc and want to see them fail and I catch myself kinda rooting for em cause I dont really wanna deal with jokic.

yeah, i think it's just conventional wisdom that okc is the best team because of the regular season. but depth is not as important as your top players in the playoffs. and that guy in denver is a monster.

Yeah, having the best top end talent matters a lot more than having a nice bench. Im a lot more worried about jokic than these young players and depth on okc. He is a killer.

there's steps to winning in the playoffs and you don't get to skip them. okc is still too young to win a championship. without looking i would bet that no team with their average age has won one in the last 50 years.

thats another plus of facing DEN...russ is horrible

[Guano]

Nuggets are a mess

Get that fat fck jokic back in or this is going to get outta hand

Excuse me!?!!???!!!!!?

[knicks94]

If AI was able to play 48 minutes a game why can't Jokic?

Excuse me!?!!???!!!!!?

he's right about that

[3toheadmelo]

a lot worse

Yeah idk about that. Jokic is crying and flopping every time he has the ball. Already has 6 free throws while SGA has zero.

I wouldn't just look at this game. Even in this series SGA has more FTA...and in the regular season its not even close.

I’m sorry but this is all I see

thats because you don't like Jokic

[Wildcat]

If Denver controls the ball all game, they're winning this.

[Montmorencie]

I want to say send Westbrook, Watson and Strawner to China but now that I think about it this will be offensive to Chinese teams.

[The KnicksFix]

Westbrook killed their offensive flow
He was responsible for three turnovers two missed shots and a missed defensive rotation
