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

[sp6r=underrated]

Denver's biggest issue is OKC is an ATG team. Their biggest internal issue isn't Russ, sorry Russ haters, or Jokic, sorry Optms.

It is 40% their salary cap is devoted to Murray/MPJ. This is what they've gotten from those 2 today:

6 Points (11 shots)
3 Rebounds
2 Steals
1 Assists
1 Turnover

Their production for 1 player isn't good enough.

The Murray deal was defensible at the time but still an overpay.

Handing MPJr that deal as an extension instead of making him go get a max on the market in the summer was indefensible.

In Catholic terms, Murray's contract is the venial sin but MPJ contract is the mortal sin.

SGA with the clear foul while AG was in triple threat. Then invades his cylinder. If refs work this correctly they call the first foul on SGA.

[Wolfgang630]

I’ll definitely root for Minnesota over OKC.

[basketballRob]

SGA is drapped on him

So with OKC getting WAY less calls and FT than Denver the last two games if they get their asses kicked today will they still blame refs post game??

The Thunder foul and give up more free attempts than the Nuggets. The narrative that the refs decided this game is hilarious though. The fact that this went 7 games is troubling for the Thunder tbh .

[zimpy27]

Flagrant 1 clearly

[JM00n69]

Lmao the NBA doesn’t like Denver. No surprise there and they got that clown Foster here.

As soon as I saw that graphic I thought “I bet Scott Foster is reffing today” and turns out I was exactly right.

THE FIX HAS BEEN ON BEFORE THE GAME STARTED

LETS NOT FORGET THIS GAME WAS DECIDED HOURS BEFORE THE TIP OFF

Go MIN!

[DowJones]

can they reverse this and call it on SGA? He clearly fouled Gordon.

[BelgradeNugget]

Scott Foster people

[Castle Black]

SGA just flopped?

What else is new. That's his entire schtick. Flopping and foul-baiting. Dude is shameless.

[Exp0sed]

Foster is awful..that's not a flagrant foul that's just a foul

gg Nuggets, good season

[RRFB]

Shai fouled Gordon at least twice before taking that elbow. The amount of contact allowed against Denver’s bigs is insane.

[mattg]

SGA fouled Gordon there first. Offensive player has gotta have some room to move. BS.

He's literally reaching at Gordon's face when he "gets fouled". By the book it should be a reach in foul on SGA.

[Ambrose]

Not reversing that and instead upgrading it is pure comedy

[Cubbies2120]

In game 6 that was a regular offensive foul when it happened to Murray lol

[Manimal]

The NBA is pure garbage. SGA being the MVP of the league is hilarious.

[BadWolf]

How TF is that a flop?

[rolling_91]

Don’t agree with the flagrant 1 against Gordon. Soft

[MoneyTalks41890]

Pretty hilarious that getting an obvious elbow to the face shouldn’t be a foul but Caruso playing regular post defense should be

[jordanwilliams6]

Are the refs going to call any of these fouls on OKC? Or are they just fine to do whatever they feel like?
