Caruso is so damn good overall. Dominant perimeter defense, sets solid screens, fights for rebounds, and gets countless tipped balls.

Jokic has been terrible offensively for most of the playoffs.

Same could be said for Denver.


You are super stacked with talent waayy different from us not to mentions your billions of assets if you can't even beat this version of us and win a title then SGA is no where good enough to win as the best player it's that simple. We need to make massive changes this off season unlike u.
You said the series, nothing about the offseason lol. Dont start backpeddling and downplaying the significance of this game now.

Joker is simply going to have to take over if Denver wants any chance at winning this game. His supporting cast is legit awful right now.

Open looks don't matter for OKC if they can't make them.


Well, they're back in the game now because of wide open threes being made finally. Top 7 team in the league in three point so that's why Denver adjusted the last few minutes.

SGA on that Tatum tier.

imo that's the biggest area of correction

too many short range shots blocked
