I had counted 2 SGA's isos from the 4 minute mark and now 3 in a row in the last 1:30. I just don't understand why

SGA is tired.
You can tell he has a lot of Kobe in him because he trust's absolutely no one at the end of games. He's gonna be the one to win or lose the game.
The Thunder needs some end of game plays. It can't be, "Give SGA the ball."

Talk about a terrible possession from SGA. The only good thing about it was he ran 24 secs off. They should change the OKS team name to Zombies. Just braindead. No ball movement or anything on that last play.

I feel whoever wins this series is going to the Finals
And they both are better matchups for Boston

Series is over.
And Jokic is to blame.
This will haunt him.

Nuggets have nothing left. I expect a blowout in game 5, followed by a single digit loss in game 6.
By far, this was the worst postseason of Jokic's career. Out of 11 games, he was great in only 3, and bad to average in the other 8. The standard he set was high and he failed to live up to it.
It's disappointing to see, but it also means this team is basically going to get blown up after this.

Ugly but good enough for OKC. Their perimeter defense is ridiculous.

Shai was solid in the 4th quarter. Didn't really need the hero ball at the end but it looks like it won't matter.

As usual with Denver, game was lost in the two minutes Jokic sat on the bench to start the 4th and all the momentum was lost.
Gerald Green Loves LLamas!

Besides a game or 2 he’s looked ehh this playoffs
He's had legendary playoff stats in other runs. This year he's had one of the biggest dropoffs ever.
That’s surprising
It's almost like he's gone up against two elite defensive bigs. It's funny how that works.

Looking like an OKC dub. A nice gritty win.

Jokic is the reason for this loss. Guy missed FTs, missed shots, terrible defense.

The game that no one feels good about afterwards. But OKC coming up with the win is huge and they are taking this series now.
