Well, the coach just took Chet out to bring in Caruso. Why not take out Dort? Chet should be playing 35+ minutes now.

I swear whenever I get to catch the Nuggets MPJ is always putting on an absolute stinker

He did what he always does. When OKC gets a bs call from flopping, he does the exact same thing on the very next play to force the refs to be consistent.

lol, Dort pulled MPJ down into him and the latter got called for an offensive foul

This series is over as a referendum on Jokic and Denver.

Over.

This should be an OKC blowout series and Denver is giving them all they want.

Not a human being on planet Earth that can stop Jokic.

It's possible that Jokic has "figured out" the Thunder, but it's more likely that he's just hitting shots now after a cold spell. Murray's also hitting shots.

Getting AG was Booth's best move.

OKC has the typical young elite team that has 0 guys with the dog in them. Shai is a great mvp caliber player, but needs some guys that play with fire.

Giannis would be great on the team. Chet + stuff would get it done too.

Adelman’s gunshyness on challenges is gonna cost Denver at some point.

Daignault's inexperience in the playoffs is showing a lot. OKC needs a PJ Tucker type because nobody has been beyond here before.

Or Giannis.

life_saver · Post #495 » by **life_saver** » Wed May 14, 2025 3:20 am

OKC's starting lineup doesn't have great spacing...Dort is a fake shooter, Hartenstein doesn't shoot and Shai isn't a willing 3 pt shooter

This coach needs to bench Lou Dort and just rotate his minutes between wiggins and Caruso. This guy is a liability.

Anyone the Nuggets beat is automatically weak and fraudulent.

He is 85% absolute rubbish, 10% OK and 5% of the time looks like he actually deserves his contact

Who wins Game 5?
