OKC will win easily. This is a fake close game

I am inclined to agree. Once the 3s start falling, this game is over for DEN. They are getting higher quality looks

Are they serious

That is how OKC was officiated all year. Why are people shocked?

"The argument was always OKC doesn't get freethrows"

But the bump and hack and handcheck all game, get called for a quarter of them while SGA is top 3 in FTAs and gets almost 9 per.

Personally I love watching the defense, I just wish it was both ways. Getting to watch Caruso being allowed to play defense like this is awesome, I just wish he was allowed to do it when he was with the Bulls.

People are have their agenda's.

The Cavs thread turned into a crap on Mitchell thread. The last 2 pages.

I’m stunned this game is close. Denver can’t run with OKC. They should be making this a track meet.

Denver just can’t get and hold on to a lead at all. That’s very bad signs for them for this game. We’ve seen these kinds of games many times.
