Why didn’t jokic get the and [emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]]. If that was Shai that’s a foul. Ffs

Nothing new.

So you can just forearm shiver him on all his jumpers in the mid post now. Thanks for explaining the rule interpretation

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.

Get MPJ in I say. He's missed eveerything but has been solid on the boards. And he's due to make a shot

[Tracymcgoaty]

SGA on that Tatum tier.

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

Yeah Donovan has been a madman against Pacers.

[Revived]

OKC gonna try hard to not get fouled by Westbrook so they can keep him in the game to their advantage.

Great second half. Felt like Caruso and Cason Wallace swung the game's momentum with 50/50 balls on both ends.

I thought Wiggins gave them a lift when he came in 2nd half. He was making shots and getting turnovers, etc.

[jokeboy86]

That’s inexcusable coming out of a timeout

[Mk0]

Westbrook called for diving for a loose ball, almost no contact lol
2 FTs for Shai
Other end, Jokic clearly fouled no call smh

Yeah but you see OKC average a lot of FTAs. Just SGA, so don't worry about it. Non-issue.

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.

Agree with as well, especially with Brothers. Not sure if it’s instructed or he just does it. Idk but over time it’s obviously with him.

SGA with a couple of massive baskets here. His stat line looks quite respectable now. Jokic's shooting like **** again on the other hand.

[MoneyTalks41890]

Five second violation probably the refs fault

[___Rand___]

SGA finally makde a clean mid range shot. That's going to give him confidence.

[BigDan245]

Probably over

[jordanwilliams6]

These are the exact games where Caruso is worth whatever you need to pay him.

He’s the literal difference between a great team and a championship team.

[MoneyTalks41890]

Good defense by Hart

[Darklight]

OKC are already in the bonus and with a lead massive advantage especially when u got SGA

[f4p]

I really didn't think jokic could shoot like this 2 games I a row. its crazy.

[jokeboy86]

If Denver loses this series it’s on Jokic. He simply hasn’t shown up. Missing jumpers, shots at the rim

[djsunyc]

this is the worst ive seen jokic play for an extended period of time.

[Loaf_of_bread]

Even if thunder pulls this game off, and the also pulls off the series... they have been exposed. Sga's sample size of efg has gotten large enough to show he isn’t a playoff guy. Same for J Williams.

Hard to be a year after year juggernaut contender when your best player isn't very clutch

[Handlez]

J̌okic had Murray wide open.

Terrible.
