No grand revelation, but this is a big pivot game for the series. Whoever wins probably takes the series in the end. Denver NEEDS this one, and needs 40/20 Jokic, I think.

Sounds manufactured but who knows. Who's the "anonymous Nuggets player" that would reveal this to a journalist? Not sure I buy it.

OKC is gonna shoot it better tonight, interesting to see what Denvers counter will be if the zone gets busted. OKC by double digits.

I buy it. It’s pretty obvious to see even outside the locker room. And Ramona Shelburne isn’t some random hack journalist.

Hope I'm wrong, but it feels like the Thunder will deliver the coup de grâce. Could be an ugly 20+ point game.

Not trying to jinx or anything, but it kinda irks me that we're favored to win a pivotal game 5 by double digits.

Hope Vegas sees something that I don't, cause this Nugget team will fight till the end for sure.

Anyone know how to look up record of MVPs on the same day they receive the award?

I mean y'all basically gave away Game 1. Series should realistically be 3-1. Y'all are clearly the better, deeper team. And y'all will play better at home. I don't think it's unreasonable at all tbh. Could easily see Denver getting blown out tonight.

Definitely could be an OKC blowout tonight.

Or a close one.

Maybe Denver wins it.

Shockingly, the big question coming into tonight’s game is whether Jokic will play well or not.

Vibes are bad

Feels like denver is due a hot murray/jokic/3pt game and will steal this game then okc forces a game 7

Have not had such a "bad feeling" about a series where my team is favored in a while

Our defense is the reason they haven't had a hot game. I don't see why that would change, especially playing at home. Guess we'll see. We definitely have all of the momentum right now, not sure why you're getting bad vibes lol.
