I'm not even sure OKC is that stacked. Their role players are really not that impressive.

Wow only a 15 minute turnaround from half to half. These guys should be exhausted with no rest. Seems they’re playing better now, wild concept

Jokic screens are hilarious. He might as well just pick up the defender and move him 10 feet out of the way.

Mr Nugget!
Defense wins draft lotteries!

If we don't win today and Tuesday I don't see us winning this series. This is getting infuriating.

Some of their role players are definitely fake shooting guys...like I don't think many people would have expected Dort to be a 39% 3 pt shooter in RS. Isaiah Joe who is a elite RS shooter seems bit scared in playoffs

I thought Chet could be a legit #2 for a title team. He’s still young but I don’t know….

and just like that Nuggets take lead..
Lets see now if OKC has it in them..if they manage to re-take control they might still be championship contender..
But if they go down..they are not winning 3 in a row against Jokic..
