But Adelman's schemes have had OKC off-balanced for most of the series. Unfortunately, lack of talent and injuries caught up to Adelman. GG Nuggets.


Agreed. Straw won them the last game. That’s a move Malone wouldn’t have made. He deserves a 5 year deal

I hate all the ref whining on realgm. Denver's problem in this game isn't the refs and if you're a Nugget fan focusing on the refs you're missing your teams problems.

Or maybe you're just not understanding the subtleties. But wait until your team has to play against this nonsense where you are getting called for touch fouls while Caruso and Dort are allowed to hack and injure players and its not even a foul most of the time. Maybe just ask Ja Morant what he thinks about their great "defense".


Dude, Denver's problem isn't the refs in this game. They have 70 million devoted to guys who are borderline rotatio players for OKC. That's Denver's problem.

If you're a Nugget fan thinking "boy we would have won but for those bastard refs" instead of "the talent on this roster is too low" you're going to excuse your team's awful management.

Not to pile on but the trades sending the 2027 and 2029 1sts to OKC to eat some salary and give late picks ruined the opportunity to move someone like MPJr and upgrade.

I think Nuggets did well with the picks they got there if I recall correctly, but doesn’t have the juice of being able to trade those later picks unprotected in value.

Shouldn't have brought in WB in the first place. The game turned the first minute he entered.

Watson has to be the worst offensive player in the league.

Caruso outplaying Joker this quarter wasn't in the cards

Feels like this is the last chance for other West teams to get a ring for a while.

No. You have San Antonio, Rockets, and Timberwolves that are beating down the door and they are lead by very young players. Not to mention a retooled Lakers and Warriors. OKC should win this now because it isn’t going to get easier in the West.
