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

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

OKC again bricking open 3s again and again.

It's nerves. They're a young team.

Their youth is why I predicted Denver would win.

Bro, how do you get cooked by a guy who can’t jump?

Because if a players injury takes him from being an elite athlete to an average athlete if he plays smart he can impact the game. He also has above average size for his skill set and that hasn't been impacted by the injury.

That’s a good point. Since he’s got to Denver, Gordon has learned to play more below the rim. Probably since his athleticism isn’t what it was in Orlando when he was a freak. Wish more big men did that before they lose their athleticism and wouldn’t rely on it from the jump.

The 3s don’t look good the moment they’re released. If OKC settles, the shots are there.

Williams duo on OKC bench has a deer-in-headlights look on their face.

OKC will be getting roasted if they lose this in these circumstances

They should get roasted if they lose. Even if Gordon and MPJ were 100% healthy, there is no reason for them to get knocked out in the second round.

#1 SRS in NBA history
#1 margin of victory in NBA history
#2 net rating in NBA history

I said Denver was their biggest challenge but they have greatly underperformed this series outside of game 2.

[Optms]

Denver is leaving them wide open too.

This is just clapping the bed. Exposed.

[Domejandro]

Gordon playing well.

Why didn't Curry try?

Being honest, Aaron Gordon shouldn’t be playing, but even ignoring that, Stephen Curry absolutely couldn’t operate as an off-ball threat with a strained hamstring. It is good that he did not play

[Loaded_Hollows]

Did you see how Gordon tried to close out on Caruso?

[KyRo23]

Bro OKC is horrible

[WestGOAT]

Just tuned, are OKC really going to bottle this?

Wolves going to make quick work of the Nuggets, would much prefer a WCF of Wolves vs OKC.

[JM00n69]

JDub? MORE LIKE J-DUD

[ShouldaPaidBG]

J Dub's last game in a Thunder uni?

Who will they trade him for? Giannis. ****, not sure I want that if I am a Bucks fans.

Nikola Vucevic straight up

[3ddman23]

Just don't get how some of ya can sleep on Denver like this. Is they win this game they should be clear favorite to win the title vs any of the other 3 teams left.

No way. Even if healthy, they would ran out of gas, this roster is 6-deep in playoffs and with injuries I have no idea how they are keeping up.

And Thibs plays his starters 42 min a game as well. They are the champs from 2, season ago and have a 3 time mvp. I'm taking my odds with that over anything else.

[Wolfgang630]

They need Murray to be great to win.

[Domejandro]

People are going to complain about free-throw disparity after the game, but these fouls are pretty blatant, thus far.

2018-19 Bucks also had a historically great SRS and they lost in the ECF, it happens

[PushDaRock]

Denver playing "Great D" by essentially not guarding open 3's lol

[Optms]

Okc making the Nuggets look like the greatest defensive team of all time

Lol

[bluemj32]

Said it last game when they lost. Denver is the favorite in this game. They have the better role players and are experienced.

OKC hasn't solved a simple zone. And besides SGA, Dort and Alex C, the role players look scared.
