Trashy Hartenstein. Not the way to win the OKC fans.

Westbrook needs to keep attacking the rim like he’s Donovan Mitchell, the refs will likely give him the benefit of the whistle, and that could spark a scoring run for the Nuggets. With a bit of luck, they might even make it a close game.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

They needed that statement though after game one. They can now claim game one rust from the layoff

Shai has 13/2/5 on 105% TS in 12 minutes.

Just thought I’d throw that out since the Jokic stans kept bringing up stats last game.


OKc already lost homecourt advantage

OKC needs to win the net one to regain home court advantage

They didnt just "tie" the series, Denver still has the upperhand after this game

Hasn’t really been noticeable. Just seems like a big talent discrepancy.

82 points is ridiculous. That some sad-ass defense.

Nice officiating just as expected.
