2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Denver Nuggets (OKC WINS 4-3)

“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.

And in your mind that statline makes the above statement untrue?

In the 2025 playoffs he’s 52nd in PER, 63rd in WS/48, and 45th in BPM.

MPJ is not an impact player

He has a shoulder injury though.

[Optms]

Another Jokic TO

This is your GOAT?

He's on a team where one starter can't score (MPJ) and another one is hurt (Gordon).

Jokic has has to do almost everything.

All he is doing if flopping to the FT line and rebounding.

Everything would imply playing defense as well. How many lobs has he given up this game?

[Raps in 4]

Looks like OKC was the only non-fraudulent 60-win team.

[MaliBrah]

that was a flop fest for the ages from Joker. What a half of flopping and flailing and falling

[Castle Black]

Yet another game of SGA being able to chill in the wings while everyone else does the heavy lifting. He flopped his way to some FT's and not much else.

This dude is insanely blessed to play on the most stacked roster in the NBA.

In no world is he more "Valuable" to his team than Nikola Jokic. It's laughable to even suggest it.

[Mavrelous]

Has anyone ever tracked the number of time Jokic complains to an official during a game. Does anyone else come close?

Luka and Draymond are still the kings of bitching, Jokic and Tatum are princes...

[jokeboy86]

Denver needs better scouting and coaching staff who can find talent and develop them for the bench. Might be too late for Jokic era though.

Jokic could bring the basketball world to a standstill or even get the Denver FO to act with some urgency if he said wanted out or even talked in the same vein that Giannis has these past couple of years.

But then again truth is he won’t. So if he’s not going to talk complain about Denver’s roster construction then fans might as well not either. I’ll never hate on LeBron or KD for not bailing out some of these front offices.

These teams play some ugly basketball. What the hell

These teams play good defense. Good defense makes offense look worse.

Did Luka die?

Luka >>

If the Kroenke's werent so cheap with paying coaches/executives Denver wouldnt be in the situation they have.

[Alatan]

Starting to think Jalen Williams is OKC's most important player and not SGA

C'mon now that's a little crazy lol. SGA is pretty much drawing two defenders every time, sometimes 3. JDub is getting points on deflections, open 3's and closeouts.

He's a good player but Cason Wallace has actually been better than JDub imo.

Caruso is OKCs most valuable player. SGA is just Harden without the 3 point shot and the playmaking.

Trashy flopper that lives by the whistle.

[JDR720]

Denver needs to get rid of basically everyone on this team besides Jokic, Braun and Gordon.

[Wingy]

Nuggets need to do everything to get KD this summer

I thought they were trying to win?

Yeah, but he plays well against the Lakers. That's enough for me to label him an All-Star.

Murray back to eating pea soup and brocolli sandwiches for meals.

Caruso apparently is locking down Jokic so by order of importance:

1. CaruGOAT





2. J-Will
3. The rest

How is Jokic being "locked down" when he has 17pts on 8 shots? He, Braun and Gordon on one leg are the only Nuggets that have even shown up for this game.

You're wasting your time with "Optms." He's the worst poster on this entire Forum. He's a salty Lakers fan who hates Jokic with all his being so he does nothing but sh*t on him 24/7. He even trashes him when he drops 40-point triple-doubles. Dude's a certified clown.

This post should be stickied

He will drop a few late buckets with OKC up 20 and the Thunder fans will go nuts chanting "MVP".

Not to say SGA isn't a great player, but he has it so easy.
