I went from thinking there were three all time great teams in the playoffs to thinking absolutely any team can win it all this year.

Something’s not right about the Thunder. They shouldn’t be having these issues with this Denver defense especially with Jokic’s lack of mobility. Why not put in him in the action every single time?

Just like as soon as the Nuggets don't look historically bad on offense, they have already close the gap to 3 points. The Thunder are a big trouble.

So far no sign of the Game 2 reffing. Hopefully that was an abberation that was a one-off for the series.

Jokic is like part time best player in the world now. If this dude even played a little below his average they’d win this series with no question.

OKC's defense got him flustered hard. He's so paranoid about getting stripped or blocked by the third man.

Especially with Porter Jr, playing with one arm as well. Neither guy is being put in actions.

They don't have a point guard or any offensive sophistication besides trying to beat coverage and kicking out.

There's something about his right cheek as well. Bless him but he looks like a squirel with a mouthful of nuts. Need to get that gap looked at, surely he can afford it


He can fix that in 2 days. $10k or so.


He looks like Alfred E Neuman, the MAD mascot.

Denver is playing zone that's why. You not seeing it?
