Why is Gordon bringing up the ball anyway? Stupid coaching

What is OKC doing? They should be picking up full court and attacking Gordan every single time.

And yet it’s Joker that’s been doing it much more this series.

SGA has been pushing off and they’re not really calling it

Braun looking like Denver's best player out there right now

Now this is the Thunder defense we know-- playing physical both perimeter and down low and forcing turnovers. 18-9 second quarter so far.

Braun (12 points, 5 of 8 FGs) is the MVP so far for the Nuggets; without him, this is a Thunder double digit lead.

There's just no foul committed there defensively. None. And then when you factor in how OKC defends the perimeter on the other end it's a joke. 2 different games.

The fact that OKC can't really get separation is embarrassing

No consistency at all from the refs.

Caruso holding on for dear life against Jokic and doesn't get called for a foul, while SGA goes to the charity line for minor contact. Lmao
