2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Denver Nuggets (DEN leads 2-1)

[puny]

Is there something wrong with the shot clock?

[Mamba Mentality]

a tv timeout with 8 seconds to go? wtf

[DusterBuster]

That Chet block looked like a gust of wind moved him back from the rim

Im shocked he’s put on zero weight yet.

[The High Cyde]

It’s a thing of beauty watching Jokic sprint down the court on defense, dude wants to win bad

[RRR3]

This is the worst I've ever seen Jokic play

[Indomitable]

Murray got hit driving in. No foul

Shai gets contact foul.

Are they serious

That is how OKC was officiated all year. Why are people shocked?

"The argument was always OKC doesn't get freethrows"

But the bump and hack and handcheck all game, get called for a quarter of them while SGA is top 3 in FTAs and gets almost 9 per.

Personally I love watching the defense, I just wish it was both ways. Getting to watch Caruso being allowed to play defense like this is awesome, I just wish he was allowed to do it when he was with the Bulls.

They are actually grabbing people and body checking.

Do it both damn ways NBA.

[TravisScott55]

Come on Thunder you got this

[DusterBuster]

Wemby already looks more filled out than Chet.

[Upperclass]

Jalen Williams has NO off the bounce moves.. its all head down drives to the rim for a foul or dribble, dribble, fadeaway

[Dadouv47]

JDub should attack the paint more since SGA is so bad tonight

[Wolfgang630]

Joker had like his best 3 point shooting season ever. For what though? He’s atrocious in the playoffs.

The actually play defense like the 90s Bulls.. its almost identical

+1 it is the Doberman Defense but there are like 8 of these dudes.

The only one I don't particularly love is Dort. He flops a lot and has way too much Draymond in his flailing and hitting ppl.

[MelTurpin]

Got to play Jokic the full 4th.

[jokeboy86]

I can't believe Lakers didn't pay this guy Caruso

Cause Rob Pelinka is the GM. All you have to think of is the last lines Tom Cruise’s character said in Tropic Thunder to his assistant Bill Hader. It describes Peklinka to a tee.

[Capn'O]

Somebody else for OKC needs to step up. It's nice that Caruso hit those threes but he's only a bailout option. DEN has figured out a coverage on SGA that's working to slow him but will leave somebody open on the swing. Those single coverages and open shots need to be conversions.

This might be the real NBA finals right here tbh.

Strangely, if the Knicks make it I think we match up MUCH better with DEN than OKC does. I do NOT like our matchup with OKC.

[RunOKC]

Denver just can’t get and hold on to a lead at all. That’s very bad signs for them for this game. We’ve seen these kinds of games many times.

on the other hand OKC doesn't do well in close games

[Twizlers]

Joker had like his best 3 point shooting season ever. For what though? He’s atrocious in the playoffs.

His whole shot has been off, not just his 3. And honestly it goes back to the last part of the regular season too. Something is up with him.

[JustBuzzin]

This is the worst I've ever seen Jokic play

Playing like a washed Vlade Divac

[SOA]

Free throws may be coming back to bit OKC..... They've missed a bunch.

[Bobbymcgee]

What happened to Jokic since game one? He is playing like trash.
