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

[okboomer]

The fact that this is series is tied is an indictment on the Thunder. Denver isnt a Championship caliber team this year. They sacked their coach days before the playoffs started.

Denver has multiple players that have won a championship. Their bench sucks but their starting 5 the same from 2 years ago. The Nuggets new coach has been with them since 2017, it's not like he's some random guy with no coaching experience.

The Thunder based on the number's are a historically great team, and they have playoff experience as well. look at the depth between the two teams, this shouldnt be close.

[RunOKC]

regardless of how this series finishes I'm disgusted by OKC's execution and coaching

really disappointing the way they lost a game up 14 with 5 minutes left, and a game where Jokic shot 5-21 in regulation

[bbms]

man a win is a win but i just cant even celebrate this ****

[dockingsched]

Always wonder why they don’t just throw it at someone’s legs under the opposite basket and force them to even have enough time to shoot a full court 3.

[Johnny Firpo]

Relax with the Jokic slander, guys. He was pretty good in the first round against the Clippers, had an all-time great game in the first one in this series, and yeah, he was bad since, but the series is not over, stop overreacting, he can turn it around (at least his individual performance, obviously the Nuggets are the underdogs).

[Optms]

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

OKC has really studied his passing lanes and tendencies well.

Prime Lebron would have destroyed this soft OKC team with his vision.

This is some of peoples GOAT

[RRR3]

That's enough Jokic is the best player ever talk I think

[MoneyTalks41890]

Somehow almost gave it away. I’ll take it. But this is not chip ball.

[JM00n69]

Too bad it came down to the refs again. After 26years of watching this league I really am losing will.

[Jazz9]

Jokic has been so poor this series save for one game
Extremely disappointed in him

[Archx]

Nuggets missed 10 FT's.. yikes.

[_NoMas]

Jokic obviously didn't play well tonight, but I don't know what you were watching if you think the supporting cast was even somewhat good.

He’s had 3 straight awful games. He’s an all time player, this one’s on him

[___Rand___]

I'm still NOT counting out Denver. Road teams have won half the games. Daignault has shown weaknesses this series. He may mess up again.

[AmIWrongDude]

This is a great win for the young Thunder. Series was looking like it was over. Denver now has to rethink how they want to play it out. Lack of depth could be costly.

The one thing Denver can hang their hat on is that they had an abysmal game from Jokic. If Jokic played even 15 percent better, Denver wins this game.

Thats 3 abysmal games in a row for him though

[Tracymcgoaty]

Of course everybody gathers for the post game family cookout interview.

CRINGE

[IG2]

Lebron generally makes the right read in these situations. He is usually blasted for not taking the last shot

Nah I watch every LeBron game and even he started forcing those "dagger" jumpers late in games when up during the 2nd half of his career.

[ForeverTFC]

Let's see what happens the rest of this series and playoffs, but the Thunder shouldn't bank on JDub as the 2nd option. Even if they think he can grow into the role, they have an MVP caliber player in his prime today and should maximize every year. Don't end up like Denver.

[Chuck Everett]

Caruso and Wallace won that game.

[bbms]

of course this defense is very reliable but you can see our players are seriously damaged on offense. this doesn't bode well for the sequence

[ibraheim718]

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

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

Well he missed his last 3 wide open 3's
