Denver blew it. Don’t see them winning 2 out of 3 vs OKC.

This is absolutely terrible.

He looks so bad and he's not injured or old. He's just SHOOK.

His elbow is clearing bothering him. Jokic doesn't shoot this bad and he hasn't been healthy for months.

The two MVP candidates competing for who’s going to play the absolute worst.

Jokic winning thus far.

Besides a game or 2 he’s looked ehh this playoffs


He's had legendary playoff stats in other runs. This year he's had one of the biggest dropoffs ever.



That’s surprising

Same reason they lost game 3, he wants his moment at the expense of the team

MPJ and Westbrook can’t be this trash if they have any hope of making the Thunder pay for giving Jokic so much attention.

All these guys have such a horrible fixation with the forced dagger shot. A disease even LeBron picked up from late 2010's onward.

Yea it’s gonna be hard to forget this series in the all time rankings discussions. This just would never happen to Shaq. It would have never happened to Duncan either.

At the end of the day, Duncan would just put either one of those bigs on block and jump hook/drop step them to death.
