He's still flying around the court creating havoc even at 36. Dude's conditioning is crazy.


I saw something on youtube or somewhere, he says all he really does Is pushups everyday? I don't believe It, but respect IF so, wonder how many?

Jones is such a hack, it should be criminal
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Use the glass on layups.

Westbrook has to have the worst touch on layups in nba history right?

The MPJ at the rim strategy is not a winning one.

Cupcake defense from the Nuggets. Once OKC starts running it’s over.

Weird that the defense for Denver has looked so much worse the last few minutes

Jokic is a net negative in this game thus far at -12.

Oof. MVP? Yeah right.

OKC shouldn't play Isaiah Joe anymore in this series...just not good enough defensively

OKC is scoring with ease meanwhile Denver has to fight tooth and nail for every point. Very little room for error like missed layups

For every play Westbrook makes, he completely negates it with 2-3 idiotic plays. Guy has the basketball IQ of a doorknob.

adelman kept MPJ in for too long. Should have been subbed out 2 minutes ago. Really bad offense by Nuggets. Throwing up shots in the paint when there's 4 RefKCs camping for longer than 5 seconds.
