Terrible idea for Gordon to play on that hammy. He’s going to limp around for two minutes and get pulled after being targeted every defensive possession.

I guess we'll see.

He either plays good enough which means he's actually grade 1, and nuggets let it leak that it was grade 2 to **** with OKC, or they play him like 2 minutes, see that he cannot move out there and bench him and all this was again just to throw smoke at OKC's way or they are a criminal organization and actually let him play on a grade 2 with tremendous danger to reinjure himself or even worse.

Hoping for an OKC win and a monster game from Jokic.

Foster is mic'd. He'll want to be the star.

They are letting Denver get away with murder so far, while calling almost everything the other way...
Hate this ****.

Flash Gordon....what this guy is doing on 1 leg is superhuman.

Is Gordon just going to be allowed to play until he completely tears the hammy? Find this completely odd by Denver.

OKC are playing nervous right now.

Caruso's guarding Jokic. The guy's the best defender in the NBA. He just harasses whoever he's around. They try to screen for Murray/guard with Jokic, and Caruso just switches onto the guard. Totally negates the pick and roll.

Love watching him play defense. I wish the Bucks could have gotten him. He could have transformed the entire defense with his ability and effort.

I just love when every team is crying to the refs about the exact same thing their own players are doing on the other side, lol.

Gordon not moving very well, but definitely better than he should with a grade 2 tear. Something fishy about that... but also probably shouldn't have him bringing the ball past half court because of that.

In any normal situation we may have had a chance, but okc were able to ship a former lottery pick for him without really missing a beat.

Those flops by Jokic are pathetic...

Bernman · Post #596 » by **Bernman** » Sun May 18, 2025 8:28 pm

Trash performance by Jokic so far. Playing out of control on O, aloof on D.

Joker is a massive foul baiter. Ironic given all the hate his fan base gave Embiid and now Jokic is arguably worse.

Yea, sorry but SGA has a level to go to reach Giannis or Jokic. Really good player but not quite there.

One thing I recently noticed Jokic does that's very clever, yet also bs grifting, is sometimes when opponent puts a hand on him when he doesn't have the ball, he'll pin their hand against him and then flail when he makes a cut to make it look like he was held.

Some ugly basketball these playoffs, I guess at least there it “parity”
