2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Denver Nuggets (Series tied 1-1)

Denver didn't show up. I guess they're happy with the split.

Adelman may as well experiment with some lineups if this is what it's going to be.

OKC might have 100 by halftime.......

Are the Nuggets even gonna try to defend?

Nothing but wide open 3's

OKC hitting them with a killshot game

Thank goodness Calvin Booth was fired. Hopefully someone better will replace him.

Because Jordan is the 8th guy he trusts on the team, and he doesn't really trust 9, 10, or 11. I agree: I'd play Julian Strawther (#9) if I were him, especially with Porter playing with 1 arm.

Eventually OKC will slow down, but god damn

Can joker get a triple double and Denver lost by 30 points

Jokic literally can't make it down the floor fast enough

Beating OKC 4 times out of 7 is something i just can’t envision right now, no matter how bad game 1 was choked. This roster is just ridiculous in terms of talent and the way they fit together.

Good game so far.

Highly competitive.

I cannot foresee a comeback.

it has to be demoralizing for them to watch Westbrook shoot an early clock contested three when Jokic has position down low on a mismatch. I don't think there's been a star with worse BBIQ in NBA history.

Terrible defense by Denver

OKC looking good. This is the intensity they need to play with, nobody should be able to match these dudes.

Handlez · Post #238 » by **Handlez** » Thu May 8, 2025 2:26 am

Jokic misses his horses.

The only thing that could stop them is youth/inexperience. Talent wise they are on another level.
