2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Denver Nuggets (Series tied 1-1)

[MrPainfulTruth]

Jokic in 32 min 5 FGA. SGA in 30 min 11 FTA. Interesting.

It is 46 point game. This is truly deckchairs on the titanic complaints.

How? I'm not saying its the reason for this outcome. Its still remarkable and a pattern not only in this series but throughout the entire season of the OKC - so much so that coaches have complained abotu the way they get away with "defense" on one end and get calls on the other.

The score aside, do you agree that SGA got fouled twice as much in less time?

[K N U C K L E S]

Would anybody take the prop bet on OKC getting to 150? It's iffy. We need to make this game entertaining somehow.

[AmIWrongDude]

If it weren't for those darn refs Denver would only be down 35!

It sucks when refs decide a close 45 point playoff game

[MrPainfulTruth]

Idk why Joker thought he could jump his 300 pound butt on top of someone and not get called for a foul

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.

thank you.

Alright it’s comeback time

You mean these dudes that are in this thread coping for Jokic are going to flip over?

[MrPainfulTruth]

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

You obviously werent following the Clippers Nuggets series. They are champions, it takes more than one poor game to break them. Sounds more like wishful thinking.

[AmIWrongDude]

If this ain’t the example that people will blame refs no matter what then there will never be one

[DrModesty]

It's Markieff time for Jokic.

These guys are trying to hurt you.

maybe you're watching so much jokic you forgot what defense is and think it causes injuries

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.

He literally leaped on to Williams. What are you talking about?

It's Draymond and the Warriors all over again.

Teams do cheap stuff. It happens.

What Williams is doing is dangerous, though. That's different.

[Optms]

Jokic has 13 assists to 14 TO's so far this series.

This is what he looks like when he is facing a legit title contender.

[Pistol_Pete]

From a competitive aspect, the Nuggets fought to keep OKC’s win to within 30. The crowd was getting anxious any time it was within 33-34 points, only for OKC to quickly bump it back up to a 40 point lead. Denver literally had nothing tonight, hopefully they come out much sharper in Denver.

[SportsInfoBar]

That's enough "Jokic is tiers better than SGA" posts for a while I think

He is. Swap them and okc goes 16 -0.

Braun and mpj had 8 wide wide open 3s in that first half and missed them all.

Shai gets every benefit. Gets to push off on every shot, if you breath on him it is a foul.......

If the 3 point insanity or the load management doesn't ruin it first.

Posters in here bravely exposing the league agenda of creating a 42 minute garbage time playoff game by helping a flyover state team led by a Canadian who barely dunks.

Whats up with you and your Joker obsession ? Wait…Lakers fan right ? Luka profile pic. Yep. All the obsessed Joker haters with the same MO.

Finally someone realizes that the nba really wants the center of the universe to be in Oklahoma, America.

Lol. Jokic averaged 31/13/5 with a .643 TS and a 33 PER against the champ Dubs in 2022.

You guys gotta work harder.

Side note -- he had plenty of TOs then too yet totally dominated.

[SportsInfoBar]

Tatum would probably choke this lead

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.

Your just a **** idiot.

[Black star]

34 4 and 8 on 95% TS and +50 in three quarters for SGA. He was the best player on the floor

[bbms]

jaylin williams just earned a huge contract in this league. hopefully from the thunder.

there's no way the demolition he caused on jokic, both technical and mental, be unnoticed by teams.

GET THAT FAT ASS TO PLAY SOME D
