Would make sense. OKC went 0-3 against the Mavs when PJ Washington was available this season, they've only lost 12 games. Denver had the worst 4th quarter choke in NBA Game 7 history against Minnesota last season so there might still be a mental block there. Game's still early though, KAT was important in that series

Roleplayer Jamal Murray only gives you one great game out of every 10 games. He just had his good one against OKC

KAT was so proud of that offensive foul

Just saw the Adams/Plumlee fight and it's easily the funniest thing I've seen in the league all year. The players from both teams were literally just laughing and not even trying to break up the fight. Peak TV.

Is Ried a good 3 point shooter at all?

Chill they didn't win by 30.....

Boston had horrible 4th quarter offensively and settled for too many hero ball 3s. They were horrible and barely lost. OKC has no rim protection and Jaylen Brown won't be worse than C.Wallace in playoffs. I liked how easy Boston scored at the rim in the third quarter.

I have zero fear for OKC. Their roleplayers has to score tons of 3s in the playoffs. No superstar FT in NBA finals.
I hope for OKC more than Jokic & Murray with all due respect, gimme J.Williams/Chet instead. :)
Probably ought to just sit this one out. That's 2-0. Humble yourself :lol:


Yeah 2-0 will be remembered and NOT what Celtics or OKC do in the playoffs. I'm truly humbled we lost the regular season "title" to OKC.

Denver is a one-man show right now. There isn't a single player in the NBA who is more "Valuable" to their team than Joker. Not one. And it isn't particularly close. This Nuggets team would be lottery-bound without Jokic.

He’s by far the most valuable player when you see the sheer amount of game the roleplayers cast around him look like college kids with their missed layups and bone headed turnovers

There's no doubt Jokic is the MVP, but I'd argue if you took Cade off the Pistons, they would be a disaster. Absolute disaster.
