The degree of difficulty in these Denver wins is crazy. I will be surprised if they win the next one but at the same time, their ability to hang in there is amazing. Felt like they were on the ropes all night.

What an ugly game.

Ugly ugly win but I’ll take it.

Imagine how much better OKC would be if they swapped Chet for Giannis.

FTA looking like a fraud under the bright lights.

Great job by the camera man to keep Sedano's angry ass face out of the interview :lol:

Please tell me once again about how Jokic is carrying a G League roster.

I wish Giannis had guys half as good as Murray and Gordon in the play offs.

Holmgren, Dort, SGA, Hartenstein combine for 20/59 fga and 7/12 fta.

Not going to win with that sort of output.

When a guy like SGA is a possible league MVP, you know the league Is in bad shape.

Bad news for the thunder...

If SGA plays better down the stretch they definitely win.

But if jokic plays better too...the nuggets still win.

I know that's a simplistic way of looking at it, but sometimes its just that simple.

Feel like this was a must win game for the thunder based on the situation. Who knows if Jdub will play this good again

This might be the type of series where OKC obliterates Denver in 3 wins, but then Denver manages to squeak out 4 super tight wins en route to taking the series.

I think Thunder's and Daignault's inexperience is showing. On the otherside, Adelmann has done an incredible job for a rookie HC. This Denver defense late 4th and in OT, taking away EVERYTHING OKC wanted to do, was amazing. He had the least amount of talent at his disposal in this game, and he made every last drop of talent they had work on both ends. Murray and AG's games were very good but the coaching has been perfect.

OKC too young, Denver is coming out of the west.

Mark Daigneault is really looking like a terrible coach these playoffs

Every dollar that MPJ makes needs to go to Aaron Gordon going forward. That dude is CLUTCH.

2 more wins to go. This Nugget's run is starting to look legit

HotRocks34 · Post #879 » by **HotRocks34** » Sat May 10, 2025 5:04 am

Denver looks like the better and more poised team right now

If the refs don't pull another Game 2 fix job, this may be Denver's series to lose.

Nothing. Those were bailout shots when SGAs offense fails.

Who wins?
