What a disgraceful lose by OKC inexcusable to lose to this garbage team. You have **** Jokic go 8/25 with 8 TO's and you don't win!?!? Better cloes this **** out in 6 altough this should have been an easy sweep..

DEN lucky to win this one with Jokic has a off night. The coaching change is looking like a genius move.

Nuggets’ core is still overpowered: Jokic has tons of help in AG, MPJ, Murray, and Braun. Russ also been shooting very well. Watson is a great defensive piece that chips in points too.

Nugs won despite Jokic playing the worst game he has played in years.

SGA not much better either but still.

Yea he’s not getting enough love at all + these may not be the assistant coaches he’d want to ideally have. Hopefully Denver lets him choose this summer or at least makes some tweaks to his liking

Don't remember the last time I have seen such a bad performance from Shai...I think it was before he was selected for his first all star game.

Black star wrote:Feels like OKC has dialed up their defense to shut down Jokic which is working well, but it's backfiring on them as everyone else on the Nuggets is getting into great rhythm. They might need to rethink that strategy


Happened last year when they loaded up on Luka and let PJ/DJJ beat them. But thats not why they lost today. The defense was more than good enough. Shai just underperformed

SGA goofed it with the hero ball. He and Jokic were both cold and instead of feeding JDub he tried to win it on his own. 18 on 7-22. Like dude your team is suuuuper deep, just trust the others.

I was of the "Aaron Wiggins could come off the bench and drop 28 for all we know. No way they lose. OKC in 6" :noway:

All the guys taking maintenance pill is rooting for the Nuggets, similar to that time when the same age group was rooting for the Spurs against the Heat.

Im now part of that group

OKC should have gone to Jay Dub at the end. He was cooking instead they let SGA brick over and over again that's why they lost.
