I do think Chet stated the obvious. Late game Friday and early game Sunday shouldn't happen.

But...... this is very, very bad.

Why is this game being played early after they were nightcap? Silver is a failure and should resign immediately

The Nuggets are just flat out choking in a very important game. Yes, the Thunder are rotating well on defense, but this is more so just old shooting.

They'll probably pick it up at some point, but by then they'll have dug themselves into a massive hole.

The fact that these guys keep jacking up threes is baffling. Draw some fouls or try to get some easy buckets. Jeez.

That's a flagrant. Not a play on the ball.

I loved the spurs/pistons finals in 05.

This still sucks. :)

That was a very slow paced, bruising series as well. I dont mind games that are slowed paced or games that are low scoring, as long as the logic in the game play is well. I cant stand dumb basketball.

Flagrant.

Airborne, a push, and no play on the ball.

No play on the ball, just hit his knees. Surprised that wasn't looked at?

Once SGA commits to a move, it feels like he has no counter

lol no that was not a flagrant. Braun came over to cross to the other side of the bucket, where SGA was. It was a foul, nothing flagrant.
