Guys like Murray and MPJ just don't have a lot of value. Braun has developed into a pretty good player, but he doesn't make a lot of money. It's hard to see a path for significant improvement with this roster.


Cutting WB would be a great start.

As he hits the corner 3


Great, now he's a -82 in his last six games.

Denver's devil magic finally running out. I don't know how the **** they won 3 games this series. The meme 3pt shooting was ridiculous specially from Gordon and Braun turning into prime Kd and Klay I know Okc fans were sick watching that ****

It'll be interesting who they get as GM next year. Murray/MPJ whould be gone imo. AG and CB are the ones with trade value so might need to involve them.

Yeah, this is those games repeated.

I'm going to give Adelman a lot of credit for taking this loaded OKC team to 7 games. Murray playing like his old self most of the series also contributed to this. But Adelman's schemes have had OKC off-balanced for most of the series. Unfortunately, lack of talent and injuries caught up to Adelman. GG Nuggets.

Trying to remember wether i've ever seen a one man team like that. Compared to this garbage "Supporting cast", LeBron's first Cleveland team looks like all stars.Hard to believe this is actually game 7 in the conference semi finals, against a 68 win team

OKC relaxing. It's only a 21 point lead with 15 mins left in the game

What is crazy is how young this Thunder team is.

Feels like this is the last chance for other West teams to get a ring for a while.

OKC is doing a good job frustrating him. And his teammates are doing an even better job at that.

99% guarantee it's an internal promotion. Their last three or four GM's have all been internal promotions. Maybe before that, too, but that's as far back as I know. Internal = cheap.

Turnovers have been the problem for the nuggets

It would be beyond idiotic to trade AG. He's an elite #3 for a championship team on a very good contract.
