You know if it was flipped around there would be 1000 posts saying “is this your MVP? MVP’s don’t lose by 50 in the playoffs”

As much of a choker as Tatum is, at least he isn't a flopper/Dirty player when getting his butt kicked. I will give him that.

No. Elevating someone off the ground when they're trying to make a move across the lane causes injuries.

A lot of guys were cheap in this game, like Caruso. Williams is crossing the line. Caruso didn't.

Again, on the playground, that's not going to fly.

Over-under on the number of times "It's just one game" is said in postgame pressers by both teams?

Well done by OKC, Denver could do nothing here. Nuggets would take a 1-1 heading back to Denver.

Nuggets lost their composure… they seriously think packing at this point… you can’t lose like this and expect to turn around to win a series… their season is over at this point

He is **** jumping to show the ref how much they are hammering his legs. Jokic gets hammered and contacted off ball more in this one game than Shai all season. Imagine a player impeding Shai like this....really is insane. I am a cavs fan and this is just ridiculous how they let okc play d. Every **** team would be good at d if they could grab,hold and push this much.

Illegal screens are a joke. Completely random. How is it possible for a player to put 2 hands and extend and it not be an illegal screen$?#*#* but minor contact on some plays are??? Wtf.

And shai pushes off on every **** shot. Hate watching him play.

The league has an agenda, and that agenda will eventually ruin the league.
