I'm glad it ended 17-8. Hopefully the league will be force to do something about giving a day off especially between G2-3. What is this ****

OKC shoulda been up 20

Denver was airballing/clanking open shots left and right too.

Aside from a couple games, Jokic has NOT looked like the best player in the world during these playoffs. Just uncharacteristically bad at times.

This is why the NBA doesn't play afternoon games regularly. These guys are up way too late for these times.

Mother's Day Eve is huge in the NBA

[BigGargamel]

These teams shot 27 total 3's and scored 25 points.

Its a pivotal playoff game. Not a random Sunday afternoon game in February.

Its not an excuse. Get your rest.

Bad energy from Denver.

The quick turnaround may be too much for them to overcome with their weak depth.

[CodeBreaker]

where's the Jokic that was cooking Gobert, AD, Adebayo???

[KyRo23]

OKC shoulda been up 20

To be fair, with the current score, they basically are

Being up 20 in a first quarter is basically doubling up the other teams score, which is what they did. It’s wild to think about lol

[Dan33185]

nba is garbage with this scheduling. every other team got rest. warriors and wolves get 4 days rest between games. Not okc or nuggets. 1.5 days rest between games is criminal.

How did people let this one slide? They literally play every other day until game 6

[Jellybeans]

Its kinda crazy that they put PO game so early.
Like they allways go 2 ways.

1.Both teams cant make damn shot.
2.One team cant miss and other cant score.

[Tomhomes33]

NUGGETS 0-14 for 3PTS in the first qtr

[MoneyTalks41890]

Cannot believe these refs and this wild free throw disparity, Denver getting more shots is definitely rigged.

Am I doing that right?

[CIN-C-STAR]

People really think all these guys are better than MJ because they hit wide open 3s against soft defense in the regular season lol
Meanwhile the only reliable scoring we’re seeing is SGA flops lol

He's definitely struggled at times, but he's also the only player in the playoffs regularly getting triple-teamed.

[Dadouv47]

those teams heard Nico Harrison say that defense wins championship so they don't care about making baskets anymore

Um, that is why you don't rest in the regular season. Teams have played like that since the inception. You are more tired when you aren't used to the grind.

[canada_dry]

I can tell alot of you arent old enough to remember Pistons/Pacers in 2004.

I am.

I loved the spurs/pistons finals in 05.

This still sucks.

I agree, but it's something I've noticed for years. Memphis won a late game, played less than 36 hours and got smoked by OKC.

[Mamba Mentality]

When Murray and MPJ aren’t hitting heavily contested jumpers on a consistent basis this offense combusts. Game 2 all over again.
