GG Denver, you guys will always have the advantage by virtue of having Jokic, so any win is most appreciated.

I see MPJ is slightly improved this season, and you’ve found a player in Strawther. Gordon will get back to norm soon as well. You guys will be fine.

Portland has beaten Minnesota twice and Houston on the road. They're competitive.

Nuggets shooting 50% from FT line and hitting only 10 threes. How are you suposed to win like that. Jokic is superhuman but even he cant offset that..

Free throws are indicative of how a game is called.

The thunder are one of the teams that have mastered how to play for the whistle and the margins of officiating.

It's never sustainable when it matters.


Indicative of how the game is called? This game it was called 39-25 in the Rockets favor, but somehow Thunder got "all the soft calls"?
You never took a logic class, did you?


The number of foul calls were pretty even in the game, the difference to me was how many times the Thunder were getting less egregious soft calls. I still stand by that.

Van Vleet shot 14 FTs, but has averaged 3Fts/game this season. Keep telling yourself the Thunder got all the soft calls though.

He shot 10 FTs and was aggressive in this game. It's not necessarily the free throws I was commenting about as a whole anyway. It is fouls altogether.
