I've been watching while driving back to Houston, so I haven't been able to read or comment. I just want to say that Russell Westbrook playing 13 minutes in the first half was utter insanity on the part of David Adelman. Literally doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Westbrook is a -62 in 102 minutes over the last five games. He was a -23 in 13 minutes in the first half. That's -85 in his last 115 minutes.

Westbrook has been the most valuable player in this series. Unfortunately, it hasn't been for the Nuggets.

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


Not the point. OKC has putrid FT differentials. Yes they are allowed to reach and grab a bit more as a smaller team.. but people cry over and over like they have an egregious whistle, yet ignore that OKC has horrible FT differentials for an elite team.


Denver should be up to 40 free throws already.

Murray miss and MPJ miss. Jokic has been robbed of multiple titles due to the negligence of the front office

OKC fouls constantly and challenges refs ro call them. Boring.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Still a TON of time left. I think Denver gets this to under 15 by the end of the 3rd

Lakers are trash though and can't make it out of the 1st round, even with multiple hall of famers.

No it’s over. Denver doesn’t have the shooters or the defense to make massive comebacks. And the shooters they do have, one has a bad shoulder and the other is a small g who’s inconsistent. The fact that an owner let Booth build a modern NBA roster with a bunch of guys who can’t shoot is hilarious

As a casual NBA fan now. I hope this is the last game I have to watch Murray and MPJ in a Nuggets uniform.

Time for Denver to shake things up. Hell I don’t care if they don’t even get a legit #2 star at this point. At least get quality depth. Denver has no 2nd star and they have zero depth.

What else is new. That's his entire schtick. Flopping and foul-baiting. Dude is shameless.


He got elbowed in the face? Just strange

1. He clearly fouled him twice before the elbow; should have been proximity call
2. An elbow isnt a flagrant neccessarily, see Dort's elbow on Murray last game. I guess you forgot.

MPJ deserves a pass. He's playing with one arm. They have to play him because even a one-armed MPJ is better than playing Watson.

Joker should demand a trade. This clown organization is gonna be loyal to a top 50 player in Murray and top 100 player in MPJ. That’s your number 2 and 3 options

Presti is executive of the damn century. Has anyone pulled off so many moves?
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
