How am I trolling? He’s obviously injured but I expected worse tbh. His presence alone to be able to hit corner 3s and be a big body is worth playing
He was clearly limping. He's fine right now because OKC is not attacking him.

It's a dumb strategy by OKC to not attack the guy that's clearly playing injured.


They were playing zone so a lot harder to take advantage of him.

Jokic is getting held around the waist every time he gets in the paint. I'd keep doing it too if I were OKC, it's not being called and they're severely restricting his ability to move towards the ball.

Look at how the refs let Caruso MAUL him. Legit could call 5+ fouls every single possession on Caruso alone. Either call the fouls as they should or Jokic is going to flail. People can't have it both ways. The Thunder do more than just play physical, they literally nonstop just hack all game long and dare refs to make a call every 2 seconds.

Jokic is surrounded by so many bums it's depressing. OKC is also fouling like crazy and gettin away with it.

I still can’t believe that the Lakers let Caruso walk… especially because of favouring THT.

Only if you haven't been watching AC for the past ... half decade? Which would've been understandable because he was on the Bulls for most of it. :lol:

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

Yea I’m not sure why people keep asking this as if curry and Gordon have similar play styles. Curry runs the equivalent of 2 miles in a game.

Thunder played too tight in some stretches in that first while the Nuggets knew what they had to do in a Game 7. OKC better shake the nerves off now or they'd be even more tight in the 2nd half if they continue trailing by 7-9 points before halftime.
