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

LFG Scott Foster in-charge tonight!

I won't give a damn if it's 5-on-8 with zebras on OKC side or if the Wolves win Conference Finals easily without AG but the Nuggets will prevail! :lol:

as Nikola Jokic once said

I wonder what version of Jamal Murray will show up tonight, last year against the Wolves he scored game-high 35 points. I think he will score 40-50 points.

Healthiest team in the playoffs with the refs in their pocket and they still catch lucky breaks. That’s just weak

I didnt expect the Nuggets to win with Gordon, though they only need to win one game so the variance is much higher.

It really sucks that AG is out, but I'm still super excited for this game.

Two MVP candidates that had historically good seasons facing off in a game 7 just doesn't happen. They're both balling out in this series too.

how is he supposed to play if it is an injury that should take him out for a month?

Had OKC in 7 before the series started and sticking to it. Sucks that AG is out though, I really wanted to watch both teams at full strength.

The injury really dampens excitement for a good game

If it's grade 2, there is absolutely no way he'd play. Either the Nuggets are lying about the severity of the injury, or they're just trying to delay the official announcement of him being out as long as possible.

Him being a warrior, maybe?

Its probably a bad idea for him to play, but man, it would be so refreshing for a player to care more then just about the money.

He's a warrior but he shouldn't be able to play with a severe harmstring. It's just not possible.

He shouldnt even try to play, its impossible to play like that. Even if he starts it will be 2 minutes max before he is out, why risk it...

Scott Foster on the call and Nuggets have 6 players on the roster, its getting from bad to worse for the Nuggets.

Nah, Aaron has to play

This may be a dumb question but can they give an injection for that?

lol at him playing. What’s he going to do stand in the corner and wait for catch and shoot 3s and do nothing on defense

I'm not an expert but I think injections are for painful injuries that won't worsen, so you're just trying to help the player fight through the pain. Playing on a grade 2 hamstring strain seems like there would be significant risk to injure yourself further. If it were possible, you wouldn't have seen it sideline Curry this year or Chris Paul in 2018 for example.

He's not playing or gonna stay 3 minutes on the floor

Wolfgang630 · Post #239 » by **Wolfgang630** » Sun May 18, 2025 6:38 pm

He’s not gonna play. It’s a HAMSTRING. Nobody is playing on that for more than a few minutes in a game 7. He will be a complete detriment to the team.

If this was a game 7 finals game then you can argue for AG to play. But a semi finals game 7 and if you win, you're basically out the rest of the playoffs and probably further into next season it makes absolutely no sense for AG to play.

At this point it's all gamesmanship. Doubt he plays. Based on those videos he's not even running or jumping. That thing can tear completely within the first minute of the game. Just best to shut it down and hope your teammates push through.

Who wins the BIG ASS GAME 7??
