Even if Denver wins it would be a pyrrhic victory. No way Gordon manages to do a full WCF series

Denver could have won this one pretty comofrably if they had an actual 8 man rotation

watching WB,MPJ,Strawtether and Watson is just sad..Watson out of control should have been called for an offensive foul for the push-off but missed it anyway, when he's got Jokic under the basket. sad...

Seems like OKC finally figured out the zone, at least Wallace and Ernie's son has.

That's what you said 20 minutes ago. Why do you want it to be over so bad?

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...
I was just giving Denver their flowers. They've played us hard and made this a really difficult series. To come off a 7 game series and play the way they have against this young team says alot.


Yes they did play hard. They also have the experience but are outmatched in talent and stamina at this point. OKC losing this game should be considered a massive choke. But it looks like they got the message now...

I know there’s a hole in Adleman’s heart for being forced to play guys of Westbrook’s and Watson’s caliber. I couldn’t imagine.

I mean Jokic just did the same thing

The biases in this thread are wild. The Caruso defense on Jokic is called a foul but Jokic did elbow him twice in the headband on that play :lol:

Whatever the refs are doing, it’s definitely on both sides

Bro every single thing Caruso is doing is a foul on that play. He's wrapping his arm under Jokic thigh rofl. Like Caruso fouled 4 separate times before he ever got touched on the headband, that's the discrepency and what OKC fans are delusional about. Their players legit foul an offensive player 5 times straight in about 10 seconds, then the offensive player responds with physicality, then OKC fans come to this thread and whine about "it's physical both ways and Denver is flopping lol". It's so stupid.

No consistency at all from NBA refs. That said they always let smalls get away with fouling bigs.

People are arguing if Embiid or Jokic are worse floppers...who cares..why are they doing it? It's because they won't get foul calls normally. It's not like they are just jump shooters.

Stop having Jokic get the ball at the top of the key. Simple fix

Jokic the most disgusting flopping Ive seen in a while. When did he start this strange jumping into people thing?

as much as I want Nuggets to win, they're too banged up, it would be better for OKC to advance just from a competitive standpoint

I agree. If they're hacking and that's the only way... fine. But Caruso should not be defending jokic without him getting a call at the very least. Every time. Until the defense does something else.
