Jokic is terrible, just playing awfull, abysmal some people here are saying.

Still better then all of your guys on the list or the ones in Cancun.

last 2 games was extremely bad for Jokic standard... Okc has made a good job doubling or tripling in post

today game finally is a good airtime for nba european fans

The games were extremely bad for his standards, but that is because he has two, often three people hanging on him. If you ever played you know how hard it is to make a good smart move with one good defender all over you, let alone two or three. As long as he continues to attract the elite defenders of OKC like that, we cannot view his numbers like he was some regular guy who gets helped off and guarded 1 on 1. Thats just box score expertism

In the paint I don’t see how Jokic can be better. On his jumpers and threes though….

No offense Kamerad but i think you should voluntarily mute yourself until the end of the game.

i just realised that thunder fans are kinda scared right now

down 1-2 and playing on the road against a very good and experienced team? yeah there's reason for concern.

Concern is a natural part of any honest fan who is invested in their team.

Are Denver fans not worried?

[CodeBreaker]

Jokic going to have a MONSTER game tonight

Jokic going to have a MONSTER game tonight

Nuggets dont want that, they usually lose his MONSTER games. Standard 28/16/10 on good efficiency is enough.

Man this guy is so good that we call 28/16/10 standard game

If he loves his mother he will.

i wouldn't say worried, but cautios and respectful.

my original message was aimed at those fans who were pretty loud, especially after game 2, not understanding that jjj and jokic are not the same players i guess

[Twizlers]

I think it’s going to be 2-2 after tonight, but DEN have proved they can win on the road and could still take the series even if they get blown out tonight (which by the way they have been playing these playoffs, it could certainly happen).

But I am pretty confident that whomever wins today will go on and win the series.

Don't stop I'm nearly there

Must win game for OKC . Can't afford to fall down 1-3.

Nugz are too experienced and veteran, savvy with championship pedigree.

[jkvonny]

It'll either be a blowout win for OKC or a close win for the Nuggets.

You've changed your tune bro, clapping back at first and now admitting you're scared. Denver fans who know ball were not scared of your team, we match up great against you.

That said, I hope we get a good game that is reffed the same on both sides. Let the players and coaches shine. I'm on my last warning btw so theres no more CLAPS, you can safely browse the game thread without your feelings getting hurt buddy.

[Handlez]

Will the Nugz shock the world today?

Jokic smells blood.

Oh my brother in Christ. When I said any "honest" fan in the post you quoted, I wasn't referring to you. You disappeared after game 2, and lay groundwork for officiating bias before every game.

If someone tells me they're not worried but they're already baking excuses for losses, I'm a little bit skeptical.

The loudest fans are always more likely to disappear or blame rigging for losses, because the hubris is embarrassing. I think that's pretty universal across teams.

I'm not worried because i'm fine with both teams progressing. I just dont want the blowouts and the stupid narratives that invariably come afterwards. And the favorable whistle especially in game 2 was so blatant you'd do yourself good to have a good look at it, fan or not. You should want your team to win a title that wont be flawed by the asterisk of being agenda supported.

This game will tell me a lot more about Daigneault than it will about the Thunder group as a whole. He blew a game and it came back to bite him the arse. You can't rely on your team to just blow out their opponents in four games. You're going to have to coach the team to a victory in a close one.

Absolute must win for OKC. And it would be better long-term if the game was close (and they won).
