Every time the Nuggets turn it over, Thunder get good shots.

Its all mental.

OKC is levels above this team. Shai needs to step up though. This isn't gonna get it done against elite defenses.

Shai is the worst player on the Thunder tonight. Crazy that it’s only a one point game.

Has Aaron Wiggins ever missed a 3?

Has Caruso ever missed an open three?

Pretty much the only time they’ve looked good offensively.

Lakers are absolutely insane for losing Caruso AND Zu for nothing

Lakers are absolute idiots for letting Caruso go. I actually think he's OKC's best player so far tonight.

He just doesn't make negative plays. I feel like other than missing a shot, he pretty much always does something good for his team, whether it's his elite defense, good passing, being in the right spot at the right time, etc. And when he's making shots? He's just that much better.

SGA can't keep getting outplayed by Caruso though, like come on man.

Being Adelman and having Russ as one of your only playable guards is such a throwback to middle school basketball where you just have no choice but to play certain kids who are just out of control on the court and might make an amazing play followed up by scoring on their own hoop or something.

If nothing else, Nuggets are playing defense they haven't played all season in this series. Even the Clippers shot better from 3 against the Nuggets than OKC is.

Nuggets have a weird roster. Murray isn't a good defender. Neither is Porter. Joker has his weakness on that end. Yet they're making it work, and defending SGA like nobody has.

Great half from Jokic

Post #253 » by **MoneyTalks41890** » Wed May 14, 2025 2:38 am

Yeah defend Jokic 1 on 1 and just leave him open. Makes sense.

Shai going to play this game?

Knicks - Wolves is going to be so much fun.

___Rand___ · Post #256 » by **___Rand___** » Wed May 14, 2025 2:39 am

Adelman is running rings around Deignault.

I figured Jokic would be back but man SGA STILL stinking it up is crazy

Chuck Everett · Post #258 » by **Chuck Everett** » Wed May 14, 2025 2:39 am

Jokic is hooping.

scrabbarista · Post #259 » by **scrabbarista** » Wed May 14, 2025 2:39 am

Maybe Jokic should go full Larry Bird and play the whole game left-handed.

Woodsanity · Post #260 » by **Woodsanity** » Wed May 14, 2025 2:39 am

Jokic finally making shots.

Who wins Game 5?
