2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Denver Nuggets (Series tied 2-2)

[lecola]

This series so far shows why LBJ is arguably the goat. Even though scoring is not his first and foremost strength, he always showed up in series like this. Modern and latest MVP candidates look like they are not in the same tier with guys like LBJ and MJ. Both Joker and SGA looks horrific. So next time while bashing LBJ, remember this series.

[levon]

Refs shameless

[darkse1d]

CHokic and Nuggets completely blundered this game. they're gonna be coming back to game 6 down 3-2. Game 5 will be a blowout.

[___Rand___]

This game was there for Nuggets to take. But they couldn't score in 4th. OKC also played better defense.

[Kawaii Leonard]

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

Do people actually believe this or is this like a running gag going on here? Got two guys shooting 3 for 19 on wide open shots created by all the attention Jokic draws, a team that melt down the second Jokic sat, and he’s the one to blame? These posts are so weird lol

Not weird imo. As the best player in the world, he’s been absolutely exposed. All the games have been in reach for him to take over, and they’ve been in reach because of his supporting cast that have been thrown under the bus repeatedly.

Refs still trying to give it to Denver

[rockmanslim]

Reggie Miller moment incoming

[KO7]

Refs continue to embarrass themselves.

[Domz]

LOL oh here we go.

[Calvin Klein]

you're all insufferable with your obsession with player hating (either side).

[Mamba Mentality]

Shai smiling at the end of game 3 will go down as an iconic moment. Thunder back in the drivers seat.

[Optms]

That was ridiculous

Refs have no shame, Jokic enters the lane and they call it a jump ball? Lmao

[MoneyTalks41890]

Jokic’s inability to get any good clean passes off this series has been really interesting.

Of course he needs to be brought into a series he has nothing to do with.

Braun sucked.. Westbrook sucked.. make an adjustment Adelman.

Huh? Braun was great, he had 17 and made plenty of clutch shots

Of course Gordon made that. Why wouldn’t he?

[jokeboy86]

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.

No reason to blow it all up. We see what Denver can look like when healthy and clicking. All they need is a backup big.

They need a hell of a lot more than that. Outside Jokic,Gordon, and Braun I would make everybody else available. Denver’s problem is they basically have no good 2-way players aside from maybe Gordon

No one is a choker or fake star. This ish is hard you guys lol. Best player on the team gets the most defensive attention and you have to adjust to the adjustments in real time. It's mentally and physically exhausting and even the greatest players can struggle.

I wish fans would view the game as a team sport rather than so much focus on individuals and which guy is better than the other guy.
