If that was Westbrook who turned it over and it led to a three, he'd come down next play and hit an and-1.

We'll see if MPJ has the same chaos magic Russ does.

MPJ probably picked the worst time to take a nap.

The Nuggets need a good ball handling pg desperately. Murray is their best ball handler but he's way to loose with it. Everyone else is a liability

Could quite easily be a second overtime in the series already. Meanwhile OKC starters will be averaging 20 mins a night v Memphis lol

Man, what the hell was Denver doing there ? Gordon, MPJ. Total idiocy. This may well have cost them the game.

Let’s be honest, these two teams are going to be finished after this goes 7, it would serve both teams to skip it and just call this game 7 now.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

They are better without him.

As Powell said, PG leaving was addition by subtraction.
