Jokic should get a pass for flopping. He literally has no choice. Refs let Caruso get away with playing football

It's so funny how Jokic and Denver fans complained about Embiids foul baiting for years and now Jokic is as bad or worse. Dude is fishing for a call on both ends the entire game.

I get that the Nuggests are running on fumes. But how is OKC missing so many wide open threes? Are they tired?

This series has humbled me just a little. The playoffs really are a different animal. Glad the refs are letting them play for the most part.

Its game 7. Jokic shouldn't be defended by Caruso regardless of contact.

If Boston and Tatum aren't playing, Doris is sleeping.

Come on. Jokic isn't even close to Embiid when it comes to flopping.

NBA needs, OKC needs to win this game. Denver is not physically ready for a game Tuesday, it will get ugly with Minny.

What do players like Watson do and work on in the offseason?

Jokic sucks, Porter sucks, Caruso sucks, etc. i now understand this Tik Tok generation fans-- they watch the game and react from a single play and they don't see the forest for the trees! "Zoom out"-- the game is not defined by single plays but the entire body of work called the "game".
If there is no basketball in heaven, i am not going.

Nerves. They know this is much bigger than a typical Game 7.

Nuggets are literally playing 4 on 5 offensively with MPJ on the floor. The guy nothing more than a warm body out there.

I don't like watching Jokic flopping, but it's literally the only way these idiotic refs are going to call a foul. :lol:

Been a really physical series man. I think both teams are exhausted and ready for this series to be over :lol:
