This board is insufferable. Little rat of a man?

Jokic should be ashamed

Being cooked by a 6"3 guy

I understand letting the game go but they need to be calling more fouls. There’s multiple players making unreasonable contact on every single possession.

OKC waited game 7 to play the line up that had success during our season and the reason why we had one of the best regular seasons ever...ONE BIG MAN PLEASE

It’s crazy because you watch Gordon out there and he looks like a cripple that doesn’t belong anywhere near basketball court but somehow he’s still got good numbers and the Nuggets are +5 with him on the floor and -13 with him on the bench.

Man so tired of Murray, not even sprinting back on D in game 7. This guy is a max player and a legit #2 apparently.

Porter is a shell of what he was when his deal was renegotiated.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Murray sure can dribble the air out of the ball on possessions. And then Denver is forced to rush because of the shot clock

Peyton Watson is a minus player on offence. Shame because he’s an elite defensive player

Watson doesn't have it. You just have to play the starting lineup the whole way, with spot minutes for Westbrook. That's it. There's no other way.

Watson and Westbrook are -21... It's about as ugly as I expected. At this point, I wouldn't mind seeing Nnaji thrown in there.

To be fair Jokic doesn't play defense.

OKC pulling away. 3 points from Denver bench. 12 points from OKC so far

That should be game. Good job on the Nuggets for gutting it out. But the chances were dam near 0 with no Aaron Gordon. You can't expect young dudes like Strawther and Watson to step up on the road against this vaunted OKC defense

Surely Zeke Nnaji would offer more than Watson? Wasn't his thing that he sucked as a backup C but played pretty well with Jokic?
