That was a moving screen by Jokic, shuffles those screens a lot because he’s so massive

They're running a double at him every possession.

His teammates need to step up.

Joker flopping is an embarassment. Especially with the ridiculous moving screens every possession.

They win the last game if SGA doesn't sh#% the bed to end the 4th. JDub was on fire and didn't touch the ball in the last 2 mins.


More moral victories yeah? Denver would be sweeping this if it wasn't for Foster and the reffing in G2

Moving screen by Jokic ends up as a foul on OKC.

Williams is a goon. That is his role, as was obvious in Game 2.

But most refs won't let him get away with his stuff.
Thank you Nico!

That's what I asked earlier but couldn't watch. you mean Daignault hasn't changed SGA's ISO play? Daignault might be the fraud.

It is crazy seeing Jokic actually get whistles. He is flopping for them but he is finally getting calls.

This isn't good for the game. Dude was literally getting carved up for the last few years and never got a call. Now he is flopping and getting to the line.

Flopping shouldn't be necessary but here we are..

THANKS ADAM!
