Caurso - the Jokic stopper. Put some respek in his name.

Braun to me seems like a dude who actually works on his game every year which is why I could see his shooting improving. Watson and Strawther strike me as guys who will rely on their measurements to get by as long as possible. You would’ve thought Denver would’ve learned their lesson after taking Bones Hyland.

The attention should be on SGA the real MVP. Jokic has been eliminated the last 2 years. I'm tired of praising MVPs who don't get the job done in the playoffs.

SGA is HIM!


The Thunder were one of the biggest favorites going into this series. The fact it went 7 is shocking.

Jokic showed up in the first half, as did Braun and an injured AG.

Murray and MPJ should never again be mentioned as legitimate “help” to an all time great. One great run doesn’t make a great 2nd option.
So what was your excuse last year?

This team has come up short the past 2 years with the best player in the world. Maybe Jokic needs to get serious about winning more championships and ask out?


Uhh…which ATG except Jordan won it every year after their first ring?

Now which of them had 0 all star teammates?

Someone said he has decent stats on 9 shots today

9 shots when down 30 is kind of wild. I’m not gonna put the entire blame on him, but I have never seen a player who could not do one thing wrong

Nah, Denver's problem is they aren't a good team. Management was blessed with an ATG and made one shrewd move to build around him (Gordon).

Other than that the talent on this roster isn't close to a good team.

Congrats OKC! SGA gets a clean MVP.

Can't believe Gordon played. Hope it doesn't prolong his recovery.
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy

Optms wrote:Shameful way to go out if you're Denver


Honestly, this is often what teams with poor depth look like in a game 7 after a grueling series. Denver was like this last year too in the second half against Minnesota. Both the Warriors and Lakers (both with no real depth) just kind of died in their last game. I remember the mid-2000s Suns with their 6-man rotations just running out of gas in the conference finals.

Thunder go 10 deep, Nuggets for 7 deep and have 2 injured starters. What do you expect?

They got too much love for the former MVP to give SGA his MVP on a night he blew out the former MVP. :lol:

He will get it tomorrow. Jokic will be in Serbia by then.

They are in the same boat as the Warriors. As long as they have that one superstar (Curry, Jokic) they’d be a playin team at least. Maybe an offseason move improves the team a tier, and that’s still a possibility.
