Chet and Jdub look overextended as 3rd and 2nd option scorers.

Ya I hate game 7 series that have been mostly back and forth the entire series.


I think he’s talking about guys flopping on both sides. I read it the way you did at first and had to re-read it because I couldn’t believe someone would be unhappy with this series :lol:

That one blowout win they had, I think they both played well.

as for Okie

Make Chet the 2nd option.. give Wallace Dorts starting spot next year. I doubt Daginault can make that happen this year.

Suck it up for 5 more minutes and the nuggets get an extra days rest. All pressure will be on the 68 win team to close out the series at home.

I'm proud of Adelman for resting Jokic. Hopefully this marks a change in philosophy and wasn't just a random, gut feeling.

I hope the Thunder demolish this team in Game 7. I want the parity to continue.

He has the illness where he's addicted to putting the ball in the hoop. Horrible diagnosis.

Honestly even if Nuggets won game 5, I bet you OKC would be the ones pulling away tonight. It's just how the Nuggets play. If they can close it out tonight, I still take OKC game 7 though.

It's not just Jokic to me it's the championship team and players who aren't scared.

Murray, Gordon, Bryan, MPJ sometimes.

I'd take those role players over any of OKCs anyday

And oh, one good reason to cheer against OKC is that they'd be part of the Giannis Sweepstakes if they do fall short this year, no?

More drama in the offseason!
