he still has gravity

I don't think one made 3 will make up for that.

Officiating already feels lopsided in order to force a game 7. Soft calls against OKC, and Jokic isn’t capable of a traveling violation in the refs’ eyes.

Not sure why Dags took Chet out after 4 minutes. It was a one-point game. Let the guy get into a rhythm.

This series is going 7. The powers that be will see to it.

I swear Holmgren is a cadaver. A happy meal wouldn't hurt the brother

He'll still need to do much more for all the stinkers he put up.

Yeah I strongly dislike that move. Should be Hart or Dort going out there, and with Joker it’s not Hart.

But honestly the problem is the refs - I’m ok if the nba making game 7 happen - I’ll just finish up at the gym and tune in this weekend

There are lots of things I miss about the tri-state area and Minnesota but start times for sporting events out here are so much better.

Imagine being in London and tip off is 01:30AM and doest really tip off till 01:45. At least it's not 02:30 like first two games of this series.

I would be recording the games lol

Yeah I thought that was odd. He seemed to have a long chat with one of the coaches before sitting down.

Hope we see some Zeke Naji minutes. Denver is gonna have to use its bench

I’m not one to call rigged but they’re advertising game 7 like it’s definitely happening

When Jokic has a teammate that is playing at an All-Star level, the Nuggets are impossible to beat. it's just a shame this version of Murray only shows up for like one game in a series, and usually not even a full game. 2023 was the only time we ever saw a semi-consistent Murray and the Nuggets sleepwalked to a title.

Who wins Game 6??
