Porter Jr & Westbrook need to be binned at end of games.

No way Denver pushes this to 7 games with Giddey out there. It must be said.

Ya, this is the lineup we've all been waiting for, quality wise. MPJ and Russ are mostly hindrances to Murray-Jokic-Gordon-Braun. Those 4 are perfect in their roles, and they just need a consistent shooter to fill the last spot. This 5 might be the best lineup Jokic has ever played in, considering Braun's development and Gordon's improved shooting.

SGA begging for calls is sickening

Oh look who showed up big in an elimination game again, while being sick!

Hint: it's not MPJ.

Keep on hating on Murray but he shows up more often than not when it counts.
I mean theres something to be said about time and place...seriously...

I said the exact same thing before the game. Now I'm just rubbing it in.

This is not a one off either.

No im with you. I just can't believe he doubled down and wrote all that while this game is going how it is...

Hence i said time and place.

terrible game from Adelman imo, just awful. this win isn't due to him at all imo, if anything it's in spite of him

Adelman is too scared to bench his vets.

Eh, Bulls had their chance. Giddey didn't get it done.

Man Chet’s misses arent even close
And he can’t guard Jokic at all on the other end either

2 days rest for Denver before Game 7

nba has real parity. any team can do it. just have to find a way to make the regular season matter to these teams.

I think Denver wins this series now. Championship composure is fully locked in. Too many good players on Denver who knows what to do and they all rise to the occasion.

OKCs best 3 players haven't had a full good game yet.

It's just the NBA.. it's too political and driven by reputations and salaries.

SGA runs that team much better. They really lack play making on that team. I guess their picks from last year will figure into that next season.

Not sure how true this is though...Denver is underrated as hell, Jokic is ridiculous, Murray shows up, Gordon hits big shots, and the role players are good, will be a good game 7, wouldn't be shocked if Denver wins it.

Who wins Game 6??
