Sheer insanity that wasn't an and1 for Jokic. Brothers just doing Brothers.

Why does Jalen Green get a national commercial? Exactly what has he done or who is he more popular then?

Jokic too this post season. Donovan Mitchell is the player breaking out of the pack to be real

7 footers have always had a higher threshold for being fouled in the paint vs gaurds. Nothing new.

Typical Denver choke situation.

Jokic sits and Denver is leading with momentum and then the team tanks and it can't regain momentum when Jokic comes back in.

Russ is struggling.
Thank you Nico!

What's the point of JDub out there if he's just watching the the game? He isn't making cuts, getting rebounds, he's floating around out there.

Cason Wallace has been better.

What's with the SGA hate? Are you saying that wasn't a foul by Westbrook?

So many small refereeing decisions are going the Thunder's way. A point here, a point there, it adds up over time. The refs are obviously instructed to influence games in a way that increases the odds of prolonging some of these series. Especially Brothers and Foster.

I think one day this will get exposed.

Why are refs so inconsistent with call fouls, if SGA can get soft calls then so should Jokic.

imo that's the biggest area of correction

too many short range shots blocked


He needs more space to finish. They just don't involve him in the offense much. Like get him the ball moving around the elbow and he's going to finish everything. Under the basket? Not his area of strength
