Coincided with Westbrook hitting the court :lol:

Man stop this crap!

Every time the Nuggets lose it's his teammates fault.

You weren't saying this when they had a double digit lead just a few minutes ago. :lol:

it's a race to the bottom between Daigenault and Adelman.

Okay, -8.5 spread back in play. LOL. For a while there, i thought that did not stand a chance again against this great Nuggets team.

It’s just Braun and Strawther. And TBH, neither plays a minute on any remaining team.

It’s not even the non Jokic minutes so much as Adelman not understanding that Russ and Strawther are not guys who you can have in this game, especially without Jokic and Murray on the floor. Just put in Pickett and Tyson and at least you’ll have low mistake basketball.

This is starting to feel like a game where one team all but knocks out the other team early, only to completely gas out.

Does Williams always throw up wild sh*t at the rim? He rarely looks poised when he shoots the ball.

Thunder arent that much better.

Knicks would cook either of these frauds. Don't sleep on Minnesota either.

Why would jokic sit at all in a game 7?

He better not sit in the 2nd half at the very least.

This started with Jokic and Murray on the floor though. It's not a talent thing, OKC just plays better when they play free and aggressive as opposed to settling for dare shots on the perimeter

Turn the ball over or miss, OKC is running and scoring easy buckets

If they can hit their 3s they would be up by at least double digits.

I still have more faith in Denver controlling the game though if it slows down bc outside of SGA you can't trust consistent scoring from OKC

It's almost as if Jokic is the MVP to any team in the league
