Those saying Shai is 1 on 1 aren't watching the game.

Denver's role players are making shots and plays.

OKCs guys aren't at this point.

Both defenses are taking the strengths away

And Jdub


1-10 in FG attempts through 3 quarters!!! I cant even recall if JDub even attempted a shot in the 3rd quarter.

I know they don't want to lose him, but with the Dame situation and that Kuzma contract it could be the best franchise reset ever.


Problem is Giannis ain’t leaving Milwaukee this offseason no matter how hard national sports media try to wish it into existence. Some sportswriter just recently made up a story that Giannis had a preferred team list with really no source whatsoever

I am very shocked how well Adelman has this team playing good defense.

Neither SGA or Jokic have played like a MVP in this series.


Why Edwards? Lol

Because he's the next best player after Jokic and SGA.

The problem for OKC is that at the end of this game like the last 2 minutes it's going to be all Shai iso's. A finesse player isolating at the end of a playoff game is a recipe for a big fat L

Adelman shouldn't have started the 4th without Jokic, rookie mistake

Why do NBA players struggle w the zone so much?

I remember years ago the Mavs killed Miami w it too.
