Batum channeling his Robbert Horry moment

I told you guys, Batum should be playing a ton this series due to match up reasons

That Jokic tech is gonna decide the game, isn't it.

I've seen him irritated but i dont remember him ever screaming at refs face like that. Maybe he has though i just dont remember.

Tbh, it's happened a lot. :lol:

THIS IS MORE FUN THAN WHEN GAMES END WITH A SCORE OF 145-138

Nuggets are more dangerous in close games than Clippers.

They are taking this game.

When he went to save that backcourt violation, he showed a shocking lack of agility. But man can he shoot.

refs are atrocious but both teams competing at a high level, a great playoff game. feels a little like a throwback game.

Batum never misses a contested 3 in the playoffs I swear

I love that I'm still watching Nic Batum playing crunch time in the playoffs and making a difference. The man hasn't been relevant in the regular season for 4-5 years, but still manages to show up and remind everyone he can hit open threes, make good decisions with the ball, and be a massive piece on defense,

The fact Aaron Gordon is shooting 40% from 3 this season is wild. The modern nba’s ability to shoot the basketball from positions 1-5 is unreal. That’s the one thing all the nostalgic folks can’t deny. These players are much more skilled when it comes to shooting the rock.

So does Kris Dunn or Norm Powell come back in the game?

kawhy and harden going for 20-25ppg will not do it against Jokic..Harden did nothing after first qtr..Kawhy is just above average with 5 TOes

Go to your happy place big guy. Horses and such.

Angry Jok is not a good thing for you guys

Angry Jokic still has to get past the Clippers. Long road before I have to worry about him.

It's only G1 of our series and the fear from the OKC fans is so obvious :lol:

That's not the championship mentality guys!

watch Playoff Harden shows up and give you 2 turnovers in crunch time

He’s bad but check out what their other max player is doing. Whatever happens Nuggets need to blow this team up.

These next 2 games are going to be quite delayed right? I mean NY/Detroit is supposed to start now

Different rules, physicality, gameplans, etc.

You're telling me players back then could not have adapted and shot more 3's if the league wanted?

Who wins?
