The more deserving team to advance is obviously the Thunder. They're the deeper, better team. It would be almost unjust if the Nuggets beat them.

Jokic sits for 90 seconds and 8-0 run given up

Sounds about right

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


That 8-0 run is brought to you by Jokic haters like you. LOL.

(Jokic is great, but if you only look at scoring you won't see his real value on the court)

Strawther literally came in and had two turnovers just from dribbling the ball. Either catch and shoot or cut to receive an open pass. No dribbling. You don't have handles.

No schtick necessary. His role players have missed every single wide open shot except one. Watch the game.
I watched braun score 9 quick points. I watched.

90 seconds of rest for Jokic at the cost of an 8-0 run is tough.

Denver suffered from the lack of an experienced coach to cut OKC's 11-2 run short by calling a time-out, breaking the rhythm.

Uhh because Jokić was in and setting the table for them

When did the blowing of the lead start?

Oh right, when Jokic was on bench

You can't go with an injured AG at the 5 Adelman. Get DAJ and MPJ at the 4 in for that unit you fool

The excuses for Denver are unlike I've seen from any other fanbase.

Imagine being "gassed" before the 1sr quarter after 2 days rest. Some of you are shameless.

Thunder arent that much better.

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


OKC can at least run with the Wolves and match up athletically. Wolves figured out Nuggets last year and the Nuggets are way worse and injured this year.

7-0 run with him in a minute

The narrative writes itself.
Without him AND Murray. Which should never happen. That's on the coach.

Hell jokic shouldn't be sitting at all imo.

He's a total net-negative.


Damn he’s been in the league 3 years already. Then his poor shooting and poor FT shooting is inexcusable. But then again these guys think they don’t have to improve anything if they have their athleticism
