Man… JDub and Chet really gotta step the F up. Imagine going into this series thst Jokic would get better play from his teammates than SGA would.

Can’t tell me Jokic sucks on defense. But you could convince me he sucks as a shooter this game lol

Regular Season doesn't mean **** anymore. I don't regret hardly watching it.

Playoff basketball is increasingly becoming a more different sport every year.

So much for OKC's historic nonsense.

Thats what it is people. It's nonsense. Everybody knows teams coast in the regular season.

OKC is dangerous. Acting like the game is over in a 1 point game is crazy. I am rooting for Denver though.

If the Thunder lose this series, I expect just as many Shai threads as one's about Tatum. He's 4 months younger than him and been in the association a year less.

OKC is an embarrassment how do you struggle against this team? Jokic is playing like **** offensively and nobody can't hit anything they better pray they don't go down 3-1. Why do I feel like denver will somehow pull out a win? I shudder to think what that 23 nuggets team would do to this OKC team..

Nah...RS still is pretty valuable and required for lot of teams to gel. Inexperience is a big issue with young teams and that's the biggest problem OKC has

LeBron does not belong hahah


Oh but he does. Physicality did not bother LeBron in his prime. That’s why teams dared him to shoot because good luck trying to rattle him physically


There’s a legit 10+ minute highlight reel on YouTube of LeBron getting intentionally grabbed around his shoulders only to convert and 1s. It’s a funny watch

Where is that thread about J-Dubb being the best WHAT in the league again?

I guess it was a 3 by Jokic...

You say we suck. See im honest. How do you say a generational series fumble if OKC loses this series?
Lots of people had the Lakers coming out of the west. You had Lebron and Luka and still got smoked in the 1st round. OKC is still the youngest team in the league, and all 15 players are under contract next season.

Jokic got away with a backcourt violation on that pass
