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

[Manimal]

That was almost as embarrassing as Luka's flops.

[Froob]

they gotta stop this lean your face in ****. if you put your face into somebodies elbow don’t complain when you get hit

[Alatan]

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.

What about Shai is “trashy” to you?

Plays physical on both ends, charges, pushes of, grabs, hacks and then flops like he is having a seizure when some one looks wrong in his direction.

Jokic complaining all game

we get it, you dont like him

some daddy issues apparently

[PushDaRock]

Denver running out of gas in a game 7 just like last year but even earlier

[Kawaii Leonard]

Denver's biggest issue is OKC is an ATG team. Their biggest internal issue isn't Russ, sorry Russ haters, or Jokic, sorry Optms.

It is 40% their salary cap is devoted to Murray/MPJ. This is what they've gotten from those 2 today:

6 Points (11 shots)
3 Rebounds
2 Steals
1 Assists
1 Turnover

Their production for 1 player isn't good enough.

Only 1 TO is surprising tbh

[mattg]

The fact that's an offensive foul is a joke. SGA is literally committing a textbook defensive reach when he "gets fouled".

[JM00n69]

What a joke

[jokeboy86]

Nuggets need to do everything to get KD this summer

They won’t because they won’t ever move on from either Murray or Porter Jr like they feel they owe it to them cause they drafted them and they helped them win a ring. Even if KD said he wanted to play in Denver I don’t know if Denver would do absolutely everything to make it happen.

Technical for flopping

This about to turn into a route. It’s fine for Denver. They overachieved and need major changes anyways

[meekrab]

Not sure how refs decide when an elbow to the face is a foul on the defender or an offensive foul, wish it was consistent.

[vege]

Caruso +16 Westbrook -23. The game was decided when those 2 guys got on the court.

[LeBronSpaghetti]

So with OKC getting WAY less calls and FT than Denver the last two games if they get their asses kicked today will they still blame refs post game??

If the posts in this thread are any indication seems like yes.

OKC fans seem to think the Thunder should be able to foul constantly but also have the same amount of free throws as the other team

[KyRo23]

That honestly shouldn’t even be a foul on Gordon

I got hit with an elbow like that in my jaw and the ref was like “get your face out of there then…”

My jaw still clicks when I chew 12 years later

[Optms]

Denver running out of gas in a game 7 just like last year but even earlier

They've been running out of gas since round 1

[robbie84]

SGA fouled Gordon there first. Offensive player has gotta have some room to move. BS.

[guynumber45]

Denver running out of gas in a game 7 just like last year but even earlier

To me, it looks less running out of gas and more them getting overwhelmed. Their 2 main starters are compromised and they are being forced to rely on Westbrook and a bunch of playoff rookies to play well against a historic defense

[Optms]

Caruso the real MVP

[Marvin Martian]

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.

Are you high?

So you only see jokic teammates bricking and whine about that but you're blind to sga's teammates bricking off all the looks he's created?

He should have 10+ assists and this should be a 20+ point lead at the half.

Yeah OKC shooting has let them down this series and prevented them from ending this in 5 or 6 games
