bondom34, Thabo Sefolosha and spearsy23 would never believe me if I told them in 2017 the Thunder would be an all time great team and it would be Russell Westbrook who is on the other side of it trying to eliminate them on a Northwest Division rival.

Yeah, they're just pre-emptively getting the excuse ready in case he sucks.

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.

There are an unhealthy amount of people on here that think Jokic is the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ.


Agreed, it’s why I can’t wait for their season to end. Sick of reading threads flooded by Jokians crying and trashing Jamal Murray, and the rest of Jokic teammates. Without a doubt the most toxic fan base of any player in the league.

Excited to see Denver go home and the new generation of young stars like Brunson, SGA, Ant and Haliburton take that next step.

The only toxic fan base I see on this website isn’t a fan of any particular team, but rather the group “fans” like you who are full of hatred towards certain players. There’s a very vocal minority of hateful people like you who are completely blind to reality. That’s what hate does.

Good for you. Denver season will end because they have no depth and his teammates aren’t good enough.

somehow more likely to believe it in 2017 than in 2022 when we were still playing Poku, Bazley and Theo Maledon

I think a lot of people are sick of reading your posts too. Just about all of them are anti Jokic.

Do you even support a team? Or did you make your account just to hate on Jokic?

At least this one has merit in that he is actually sick. Most of the pre-game priming so far in this series has been nebulous and unfalsifiable claims about the officiating.

Nothing would please me more than to see a Game 7, because this has been a rollercoaster of a series. Each team won two games that could have swung in either direction. Unfortunately, this is the end of the line for this Nuggets core. Changes are coming (Ben Tenzer looks like he's going to get the head front office job, which I expected since the Nuggets under Kroenke tend to promote from within).

Too many injuries, too many distractions, and too many miles. However, it was a valiant effort to even get to this point and push the Thunder the way they have, IMO (and beating the Clippers was no small feat). We could have another close one, but those Caruso/Cason Wallace minutes will probably be the difference and if Joe/Wiggins are hitting shots, it could be runaway.

All in all, my heart is hoping Nuggets extend the series, but my head says, it's ova.

Hope OKC ends this tonight. Can't wait for the Ant and Julius opportunity to win against a really good team.
