I'm expecting an uncompetitive avalanche of hustle of energy from OKC now. Even if Denver advances Minnesota is their bugaboo and no/hampered Gordon only excerbates that issue.

I just want to skip to the parade in Oklahoma City.

I guess Woody thinks Jokic is getting the award. Interesting.

I don’t think he’s the biggest flopper though, that seems like an overstatement.

Classy.

Glad theres other people from OKC whom i gladly wish the best should the thunder win.

Some need more time than others to learn winning with grace, i guess.

i think neutrals and player's fans probably care more about this mvp shenanigans. my preferrence is that this distraction is completely removed from this game 7.

it's fun for that when you see jokic talking about mvp he's talking about "i'm playing my best basketball ever, but the other guy deserves too."

and this clown talking about the mvp award being gifted.

all right.

It is a joke responding to Denver media being absurd. Weird reaction.

I would be disappointed if the thunder don’t blow them out but if there is some karma of good fortune I would like for Westbrook to make the right play at the right time to win the game for the nuggets.

yeah, my next best possible result would be westbrook getting a ring but i'm really displeased with jokic fans so i'll tune off if the thunder is knocked out.

Both joker deserve the mvp and as a okc fan I think joker deserves the award. I believe he is the best player on the planet but one cannot sit here and not say he isn’t a very good flopper!

pretty much. I thought Doncic fans were the worst but those Jokic fanboys are on another level. The fact that a lot of them consider Jamal Murray/Aaron Gordon as scrubs is the weirdest thing I have seen from a banbase (and that's coming from a guy that think that Jokic is the most dominant player I have ever seen)

I mean its clear SGA gets it but honestly it does not matter all that much. I guess the first is important to a players resume, everyone is still citing the one tha Westbrook got. Once you have it, i dont think two , three or four move the scale unless you are a narcisstic person who enjoys being in the spotlight 24/7. Joker surely does not think about tha a second. He really dont care for individual accolades, i think its genuine. He does take every heave available because his stats do not matter to him, only win or loss. I wish everyone would be like that. Stat padders and guys who put their individual success above the teams success are the worst we have in this sport.

What would be even funnier is Shai getting the MVP and sending Jokic to Serbia


How would it be funnier, since they were the overwhelming favorites? You seems to have a problem with understanding premises, humor.


It would be funnier cause it would make me laugh more

Playing G-League guy in game 7 of most important series in their life will not get you far away.

I have a feeling this will end for the Nuggets same like last year. Lack of bodies will show at the end of the game, bench guys will be unplayable and Murray and Jokic will have to play 45 minutes which means they will not have energy to close the game.

Let’s call this series a tie, and run back another 7 game series to decide game 7.

I’d watch a lot more of this. Until I stroke out probably from the wild swings.
