“Jokic hasn’t had an all-star teammate, but Murray plays like an all-star in the playoffs.”

Murray at the half: 4 points, 1 assists, 0 rebounds, 2-7 shooting.

It was nowhere near a 14 points game, but you can't blink against this team, gonna be one helluva mountain to climb...

If the threes go down according to expectation, this is probably a 20+ point game. If OKC wins they'll have won 5 games this round with the Game 1 blunder. They've made it as hard as possible on themselves.

It’s crazy how nobody on the Nuggets understands how to throw an entry pass. Actually disgraceful stuff, Jokić has the best hands in the NBA. Just throw it out of reach of OKC’s guards.

He'd be trying to shoot 3's if he played today so it wouldn't be that far fetched

Lmao the NBA doesn’t like Denver. No surprise there and they got that clown Foster here.

As soon as I saw that graphic I thought “I bet Scott Foster is reffing today” and turns out I was exactly right.


THE FIX HAS BEEN ON BEFORE THE GAME STARTED

It's over. Last 4 minutes was bonkers.

Gordon on one leg out there isn't having an impact defensively.

Adelman and guards have to be blamed for their inability to consistently feed jokic in the post. Every possession is an adventure right now.

Russ looks... by far not their biggest problem, he's been average.

Yeah, but my point still stands. :D

In a majority white country I think it’s fair to assume every team has a “Caucasian fanbase”

16 FTs Denver, 5 FTs OKC at half

Joker is 9/11 FT at half. I guess you're expecting him to have 15 or so first half free throws.

are you even watching the game or just a box score expert?

Its obviously the strategy to stop him from scoring at all costs. There was no discussion, no challenge on any of those fouls. It should have been 10 more on caruso tbh

OKC has fouled every single possession 2-3 times. Only so much the refs can call.

I think he's got the right number of free throws. He's getting mauled with no calls. At the same time, he's flopping like a fish for the free throws hes getting.

How can I block someone? Optms is insufferable with his hate to Jokic.
