Imagine putting a 6'3 player on Tim Duncan in a game 7

Jokic is so overrated

Absolutely this. And MPJ’s 3’s are always short it’s ridiculous.

A bit? Caruso is the vet and the only one on the team(coach included) that’s been in high pressure games(w the Lakers). He needs to calm them down.



I was thinking the same thing. It seems like Caruso has done just that.

Pay attention to the scheme. They have Caruso fronting Jokic to force the pass over-the-top. Then they have 2 Thunder players ready to steal that pass cause they are leaving Watson and Westbrook wide open

So funny that a little rat of a man is allowed to foul someone on every play and do whatever the hell he wants. These refs are pathetic.

Nuggets are going to run Murray and Jokic into a ground again. No way they can sustain this and be able to close out in the 4th, they will ran out of gas.

Come on. Jokic isn't even close to Embiid when it comes to flopping.

He very much is. Doing the rip through a bunch of times every game, crumbling to the ground at the slightest bit of contact, flailing his arms. And don't forget literally jumping on defenders multiple times and complaing for calls, a move only Harden has attempted.

Been a really physical series man. I think both teams are exhausted and ready for this series to be over :lol:


You played 3 games less than the Nuggets and have the youngest team in the league. You should not be tired...or at the very least you should run over chubby Jokic and Aaron Gordon without a hamstring...
