2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Denver Nuggets (OKC leads 3-2)

MPJ, Murray…could have been a different ending.

Murray guarding SGA is essentially like Caruso guarding Jokic. MPJ has been incredibly bad.

In the end, for Nuggets fans, they’ll find comfort in either finish to the season. If they lose, a near certain blowout of this roster is coming - which is exactly what they may need.

The usual suspects always show up as Denver is about to lose. Like clockwork.

OKC is in trouble if they face the Knicks.

Outside of Jokic, the rest of the Nuggets are 23-72 from the field. And outside of Gordon going 6-13 and Strawther going 1-2 no other player on the Nuggets is shot above 40% from the field.

They got nobody else.

A scrub is better than a guy who shoots this poorly.

Who they gonna put out there?

What is Jokic supposed to do if he’s double or triple teamed? Hes scoring at a goat level but when he has nowhere to go, he does the right play finding the right teammate who brick badly on wide open threes.

Jokic's turn to smile after an L ruh roh

Denver just can't play defense. No stops. You can't swap baskets all game

No, they were playing defense for most of the first three quarters, but they just couldn’t get a stop to save their lives in the last 6-7 minutes of the 4th. OKC just got hot at the right time. Especially Dort.

Also, they gave a couple of costly offensive rebounds away.

Tired.

Which, of course.

Jokic wasn't that great tonight with his passing.

Bro what alternate reality are you living in?

I think he meant the 3 before this 1.

Time and place though...he balled out tonight.

I like him also. Im sick of these retread coaches. Adelman is good

Give Joker competent teammates who can MAKE AN OPEN 3 and this series is over

Holy drops 44. Help this man

OKC won this game and I'm honestly confused.

Both are on Adelman for not taking a TO. Both games. He had 4 in the fourth this game, what are you saving them for ffs?

C'mon, man. That's BRUTAL.

Yes and Adelman keeps playing them.. play Strawther and Watson.

Braun has played fantastic defense this series.

But couldn't hit a big shot when it counted. He's garbage.. on a championship team he's a bench player

Don't pass out to MPJ when he's cold!

He's the true MVP and it isn't close. Not even a discussion.

He was nothing short of AMAZING thid game and game 1 but he was bad the other 3. Don’t think there’s been a huge gap between him and SGA over the series imo

ImmortalD24 · Post #1100 » by **ImmortalD24** » Wed May 14, 2025 4:10 am

Which is unfortunate given the magnitude of the moment. Im not even going to talk about his defense or lack thereof. SGA proved to be the superior leader tonight. Hopefully Joker doesn't choke at home next game.

Who wins Game 5?
