You think Jokic hasn’t faced hostile crowds before. The OKC fans pale in comparison

Denver vs Minnesota western Conference finals would feed generations and no doubt cement the rivalry.

He's an amazing player. Amazing.

Any team with Jalen Williams as 2nd option is beatable in playoffs

The title is up for grabs for anyone. OKC is beatable, I have no idea who's coming out on the other side of this. Most exciting and unpredictable playoffs I can last remember.

Shame on OKC for trying to win the game! Make them work for it. Game 7 will be fun! Best crowd in the NBA.


It's the NBA playoffs, you take every inch you can get. Reggie Miller erased 8 points in 9 seconds to famously beat NY in a playoffs game that was seemingly over. Imagine if his coach had told him to "Gtfo" instead because there wasn't enough time left.

Pretty lackluster intensity from that squad to put it away.


Nobody cares about the Wolves right now


Your right, your team can't beat a team that fired their coach right before the playoffs, and has zero depth. Sga and jwilliams aren't yet ready for the 'big lights' that are the playoffs. Regular season dudes dialed in is all that squad is. No offensive versatility if sga is contained. Okc should be concerned.

I think there is just about even momentum (?) or maybe a little in Denver's favor which would be outweighed by the OKC homecourt advantage. Could be a coinflip outcome for game seven

okc haven't played better basketball than denver in the last 3 games imo. game 4 was just all over the place for teams and in game 5 denver had the control most of the game until the cold stretch. today okc players left sga alone on the court and denver had great support from strawther and other players. i still take okc in game 7 but they will feel the pressure against this overachieved nuggets team

I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I'd rather play OKC as a Wolves fan. Wolves play well as underdogs, and everyone would be picking OKC if they win game 7. For me, OKC still hasn't shown they are ready to make the next step...they are in a similar place as the Wolves were in last year. I think they Wolves have a good chance to beat either team.

Murray played one of his best playoff games of his career. +28.

Hint: it's not MPJ.

Keep on hating on Murray but he shows up more often than not when it counts.
I mean theres something to be said about time and place...seriously... :)

I said the exact same thing before the game. Now I'm just rubbing it in.

This is not a one off either.

I hope you dont hide on sunday. I would gladly admit i was wrong if Murray shows up again. Usually he is good in one in five games, pretty consistently.

Jokic took him years too.

Shai is ready but JDub and Chet ain't

OKC still have a very good chance of winning Game 7, especially at their house.

Not just them but all players. OKC is getting open looks at 3s can't hit nothing.

They are letting everyone buy SGA beat them which is smart.

Role players play better at home.

At this rate that's what j dub and Chet are. Role players.
