2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Denver Nuggets (Series tied 3-3)

[Castle Black]

Mark Schlereth gets it. Denver simply doesn't have the talent to win this series. Just way too many bums surrounding Jokic.

OKC looks good to win a title. They're young, hungry, talented, hungry. Have an MVP level player. New dynasty just dropped.

Jamal Murray is questionable tonight. Dude is always sick or injured.

Dude is good 1/3rd of the time, trash 1/3rd of the time or just out 1/3rd of the time. Worst secondary "star" out of anyone still left in the playoffs.

As every game in this series the outcome will depend on refs, and wether useless Murray and MPJ show up or the good versions (i saw them only in one game so far).

As for the refs, outside of one game that was visibly handed to OKC (even though they were much better and probably would have won without the BS calls by a landslide, too) they were pretty fair. However, one thing i wish to see only once, because i dont recall a single call - call an offensive foul on SGA's blatant push offs. Has been talked about all season, and whoever keeps pretending the officiating is free of agenda and goal can explain how out of 500+ players only one consistently gets away with full arm shoves.

Should they call Jokics moving screens after handoffs, too? That's most of them. Then we'd have both guys in foul trouble all game. Is that what you want to see? Would you acknowledge Jokics illegal (moving/leaning) screens?

yes, call it, but also call every touch foul on Jokic, every push off from SGA, and lets see what happens when everyone adjusts...you will give Jokic 2 fouls for moving screens, he will stop with it, but you will have 30 more fouls on OKC players because they foul Jokic on EVERY play, only play they don't foul him are transitions where he is on his side of the court...you want that?

No, I don't want that, at all! But defenders are allowed to have contact with a guy and not let him waltz to his spots if that's what your referring to as touch fouls? Like, you have to have contact on a guy, especially the closer they get to the basket. Are you suggesting they just get out of the way and let Jokic go to whatever spot he wants? That's not how defense is played in an NBA playoff game, or even a high school game for that matter. What's the complaint here?

Why does the outcome not depend on jokic playing well like game 1 and 5 and not bad to mediocre like games 2, 3 and 4?

Put some responsibility on the big mans shoulders. He can handle it.

You guys man...

Nobody finds it weird they haven’t given MVP out yet…..? They’ve never waited this long. Something is up…..

I wish they would. Mvp revenge is real.

Jokic, who is much more crucial to his team than SGA, has actually fouled out because all sorts of stuff has been called on them.

I honestly believe it's cause they don't want to piss Joker off by giving it to Shai in front of him . Legit. I bet OKC brass asked them to wait til after the series is over for that reason. That's actually hilarious if so.

Which is exactly why i wish they'd do it already...

Jokic fouled out on purpose because he didn't want to play down 50 anymore. Just quit the game

[HotRocks34]

Jamal Murray is sick. May not play.

That's probably a wrap.

Jokic has been called for 21 fouls in the series. Care to guess how many SGA has been called for, the guy who's signature move is the pushoff midrange and who is touted as much better, much more intense defender?

Spoiler:

Its 11.

I'm actually glad we dont have to see him choke the series away.

Why are you complaining about fouls, this is a tight series that has come down to 4th quarter execution and shot making. Whining about this non existent BS is so lame

Why is calling out double standards trolling? What i think trolling is is your unhealthy obsession with lebron yet Absolutely absolving jokic of any responsibility preemptively. Sounds trollish.

But hey, do you.

Jokers signature move its looking like is the wait till bonus then just run into everyone and jump on them and look at the ref. Not surprised he's been called for a lot

[WestbrookGOATed]

We're closing it out tonight, book it.
