Jokic can't sit. Even for one minute.

And the moment Jokic is reinserted, Nuggets hit their first bucket of the 2nd (Gordon three-pointer)

Why are we experimenting with Strawther in a game 7???

Strather does not see a single minute on any other team in the semi finals. But of course ts all Jokics fault.

The five guys who happen to be Lakers stans and constantly troll these threads are best added to ignore list.

Murray is just ok so far. He’s got to score and make shots

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

can't trust either of these guys, but I would have had them in early when they had the lead and a bit less pressure on them

As much as I want Jokic to win to shut the haters up, I'd rather see a healthier team advance and give Minnesota the fight they deserve.

Caruso has been fouling the heck out of Jokic, no calls

They’re forcing these Strawther minutes. He already gave them the 1 fluke game.

This is the Strawther I know

Wolfgang630 · Post #671 » by **Wolfgang630** » Sun May 18, 2025 8:18 pm

NO MORE STRAWTHER

Yeah the strawther thing isn't working on the road. Pull the plug on that.

Why is MPJ shooting at all?

durden_tyler · Post #676 » by **durden_tyler** » Sun May 18, 2025 8:20 pm

11-3 second quarter, Thunder. (Mostly bench players)

8:30 mark, the starters are back in.

When everything else has failed just randomly mash buttons.

Man Jokic was very floppy in Q1. Hoping that doesn’t get rewarded throughout.

And what about Russ?

Westbrook is unsalvageable. I would bench him too. But you can't play five guys 48 minutes.

Who wins the BIG ASS GAME 7??
