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

[Castle Black]

Thunder showing how they got to 68. Their bench defense is **** amazing, imagine having Caruso AND Wallace of the bench....

Imagine being the only team in the league who's allowed to foul thee sh*t out of the opposing team regularly and never get called for it. Equally wild.

[OldSchoolNoBull]

Nuggets were up by 10, and the let the Thunder cut to 5. Gotta stay focused.

And if the decision has been made for AG to play, I don't know how long you want to sit him and give that hamstring a chance to tighten up.

[Optms]

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.

The man has over 100 pounds on Caruso and you are making excuses lol

[jokeboy86]

AG could give it his all to play with a grade 2 sprain and Curry couldn’t do it with a grade 1 sprain and he’s the legend. Tells you about curry

tells me the league isn't rigged, who knows how much money the league lost not putting Curry on the court even 1 legged Curry.

Also people got to remember that if Curry isn’t running around and mobile he’s practically useless on the court. Not to mention he can’t be a spot up shooter either cause he still uses some lift on his shots or the other team would just double him every time too

[Chuck Everett]

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

Do you also believe this is the most talented NBA of all-time?

[LFGK]

Caruso is doing a hell of a job fronting Jokic

Refs are letting him get away with fouling the hell out of him

Whatever the hell they are doing to Jokic, that sh*t is not defense.....in a normal game he'd be fouled out in a quarter playing like that.....if Denver is smart they win this game, use that aggressiveness against them

[Mr. Perfect]

OKC gets the most favorable whistle I've seen from a team in a long time. All the hacking on D and SGA's pushoffs are just too much

[mattg]

Caruso need to play the rest of the game no questions asked

I mean if the refs are going to let him absolutely hack the heck outta every offensive player then yeah Dude should already be fouled out of the game if the refs actually called the fouls on OKC that they were committing.

[OverAndOut]

The 2025 Thunder defense is literally the Seahawks Legion of Boom defense. Commit fouls basically every play because the refs won’t call them all.

FCKN Caruso on Jokic, how can you not exploit that DEN?????

Caruso get away with murder when he switches on to bigger players.

[bluemj32]

no Strawther yet is weird, put him in early and see if he can pick up where he left off

Probably waiting until the 2nd quarter when they need to rest a few other guys. I'd have a shirt leash on Westbrook this game and play him in spurts

Just stating facts. And I already said OKC should continue doing it, I don't have a dog in the fight.

[Manimal]

Smart to put Caruso on Jokic instead of Hart or Chet. They let him foul the **** out of Jokic because he's small.

[3ddman23]

Yup momentum completely gone cause Denver keeps turning the ball over.

[The Servant]

Could there be anything less iconic?

[Infinite Llamas]

Caruso should have fouled out in the first quarter.

[Optms]

Both these teams are frauds tbh

[JM00n69]

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

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.

Surprise surprise 95% of the people posting here don't know ball and don't watch games. And also have the brain power of a toilet brush.

[Castle Black]

Both these teams are frauds tbh

You would know, tubs.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

I think former Maryland Terrapin Aaron Wiggins is going to have a major impact on this game. He and Caruso already played well in Q1.
