J Dub 3-16, 0-4 from 3… everytime OKC had a chance to steal momentum he bricked.

Can't really blame him. He's playing at a high altitude.


Definitely seems high

Guy calling a challenge down 10 with a minute.

If Nuggets walked off the court right now these guys wouldn’t win this game.

Gtfo. Game 7

You don't do that in the NBA. That's how you get fired. He's doing the smart thing and riding the hot hand. But you don't bench guys who have been there all season for you.


Porter hasn't been hurt all season.. the hell are you talking about?


You clearly haven't seen Strawther in these playoffs. This is his first good stretch of basketball and you're calling for him to play big minutes.

Okc messed up giving the wolves extended time.

Pretty lackluster intensity from that squad to put it away.

Why is SGA only playing 35 mins in a game like this? Seems counter productive.

MPJ on the bench was the secret sauce. I think OKC is done

These playoffs are the biggest case for trying to make the play in if you are a good team. Just get a chance and any damn thing can happen. Top seeds aren't invincible anymore.

The question is, who has the momentum going into the all important game 7?
