Jokic would just have to be insane...but not having Gordon at full health (he's there only really impactful defender in the starting unit). Huge blow. He's out there but clearly he's playing at like 50% speed.

Nuggets are relying on Braun to hit open looks to win this game. Thats rough as hell. Need Murray to step tf up

yeah but they are blitzing every P&R with Murray...they are just daring there guys too shoot whether that is Braun, Westbrook, Gordon, or Watson.

They aren't even giving Murray a chance to turn the corner.

I mean at some point you got to beat a defender and cant rely on these other bums missing shots

Dunno about that, I don’t think OKC is getting blown out today no matter what and it was only 13 or whatever

I agree I'm saying they are putting two on him every screen to get him off the ball. Especially with the way DEN is shooting the 3 I can't blame them. DEN isn't going to beat you by shooting a lot of 3's.

Yeah, but had they closed the 1st quarter with at least a 20 pt lead they'd still be winning now.

The NBA wants a NY vs Minny finals over a NY vs OKC one.

I was very high on OKC after the regular season but their postseason run has been a bit underwhelming....not only does SGA not look as great, J-Dubb has also been up and down and with OG and Mikal we have two nice matchups there. I feel like if Morant didn't go down they would have dropped a couple games against Memphis as well.

I would probably still prefer Denver for the mere fact we would have HCA.

Denver HAS to win today
This game has huge implications for the Knicks championship and for the future of the league
We can beat Denver, okc not so much

How do you know? The Knicks surpassed all of our expectations by devastating the Celts in game 6. We put the nail in the coffin of their freaking dynasty. Meanwhile, OKC has been a little underwhelming in the playoffs. I say, let's just play to win against the Pacers and we'll deal with whoever they throw our way in the finals.

Okc plays in waves. It’s hard to defend against that. They keep pushing the pace and have a lot of good young defenders. I want no part of that. Give me the nuggets

OKC winning through war of attrition. This is what Indy plans to do to us.

No disrespect to the Pacers but I think we need to end our series with them as soon as possible if we want to go all the way. Have to make sure we have enough against our Finals opponent, especially if this deep OKC team emerges out West.

OKC stole our color scheme. Corny ass franchise

knicks94 · Post #1160 » by **knicks94** » Sun May 18, 2025 9:05 pm

Only reason why Denver isn't down by 40 is because the refs gave Chokic about 20 foul calls.
