Pulling out SGA early in the 3rd was killer, he was cooking offensively. Another blunder by OKC coach

I thought OKC had the best defense ever in the modern era?

The greatness of Jokic cant be understated. Look at these rosters, I think the Thunder will win Sunday but with game 7's usually being slower paced games I see that favoring Denver.

I knew there was no way the nuggets were getting eliminated at home. No way.

This looks really bad on Adelman than it does look good when you look back at all the stinkers Porter had.

The foul baiting, no shooting, team interviewing 67 wins frauds aren't winning, not today anyway.

Nuggets again showing just how deep and athletic they are.. it's not even close. OKC has no businesses being up this series.

Its funny how all the people who are more or less casual on the Nuggets keep telling us - the fans who watch every game, sometimes multiple times - who is useful on that roster and who isnt. I'd be interested to hear from a single known Nuggets fan who likes to keep Murray on the roster at this point.

Yes he can contribute and win a game for you. He does so in maybe 20% or less of the games. MPJ probably comparable. But unlike MPJ, for the other 80%+, he will still dominate the ball and dribble the air out of it and take dumb shot after dumb shot while he has the best player on the planet patiently waiting for a pass. Its kind of Westbrook and KD. Dont be fooled by scoring numbers. He does not play any defense, has a tendency to whine and not run back when his shot isnt falling. Of course he is constantly pretending to play hurt.

If you think he's good...would you want him on your teams' roster then for your #2?


Oh look who showed up big in an elimination game again, while being sick!

Hint: it's not MPJ.

Keep on hating on Murray but he shows up more often than not when it counts.
I mean theres something to be said about time and place...seriously... :)

I said the exact same thing before the game. Now I'm just rubbing it in.

This is not a one off either.

No one could’ve predicted this. And Adelman may have just won himself the job with this game alone. If they somehow win the series then it’s a given.

and that's game

Refs were horrible in this one, quite outrageous honestly. also Adelman is pretty dumb, he got bailed out by everyone showing up and OKC shooting poorly but he made laughable mistakes in rotations and strategy in this one

Chet is in his second NBA season. JDub is in his third.


I know, but OKC is trying to win now, and windows close faster than you think.
