Exaggerated just like his groin injury entering the postseason. Honestly outside the Porter injury they’ve been cooking the injury report this postseason.


Who cares. It's not like they gain anything from it. These are middle school level mind games. If they affect OKC, that's on them.

How many minutes did Strawther play only a few? His PPGBBQChicken/36+- must be through the roof after hitting 2 threes.

If jokic has saved his bullets for the 4th quarter here...that may work out perfectly.

Give Jokic his rest. Problem solved.


New problem created.

I mean OKC can really only blame themselves. They are just unfocused and comit too many unforced errors.

For a guy with no help jokic has a lot of teammates who just randomly score like 10 in a row in a playoff game.

I think it's for legacy building. All guys are suffering from some minor malady or another, but only some guys leak it before playoff games.

This is what I'm talking about.. less hero Jokic ball and Nuggets dominate quite easily. Loaded roster top to bottom. Easily the deepest and most talented team in the league without their star player.

Why is Holmgren sitting again? Is he on minutes restriction?

Right. Indy/Cleveland and GS/Minny are going 7, right? It’s all fixed?

Anyone think Murray doesn't like Jokic?

I'm sure Murray knows he's the scapegoat for Jokic anytime they lose. And sometimes deserving.

He just seems to have odd body language with Jokic and tunes him out when he goes on his rants/coaching.

Jamal "questionable" Murray. He should consider being questionable more often
