Don’t you love NBA referees?

It would be nice if Legler and Jefferson would criticize the refs giving Oklahoma City this timeout instead of making excuses for them.

So, like, half of SGA's points tonight are from FT.

Jamal Murray has looked amazing. If this is the version of Jamal the Nuggets get all year, I can't see anyone beating them

It’s actually even worse they called a time out when ball was already stolen and in Obi Toppin hands

sga initiates the contact every time he finds a chance and expects a foul just like luka. they put pressure on the refs. if they dont get the call they want 2 straight possesions they will get it the 3rd time for sure because they are top players and refs cant keep making them look like clowns. only solution for defenders is to counter flop everytime time every possesion to put some pressure on refs. people quickly forget that sga signature move might have cost the pacers a chip

I'd say he's playing phenomenally for Jokic. The rest Jokic is going to have this year is insane. Won't make MVP numbers but who cares if your team is well rested for the playoffs.


So far he’s rock solid, understands spacing (basically roll when he is supposed to), solid passer from the mid post. If he can play a good 15-20 minutes and sometimes play with Jokic to counter a big lineup, it’s a huge acquisition for Denver

he was always the nuggets x-factor. he was only healthy that one year they won the chip. he also didn't take care of his body. so hopefully he is healthy this year.

Umm... by the book, nearly every player driving the ball is technically getting fouled in this day and age.


Because those in charge are too worried about manufacturing offense and high-point totals. Refs in college and the pros reward offensive players that initiate all the contact. It’s not right.

The whole system is toxic.This is why I hated the Harden nonsense

SGA had to get better, shooting 8-27 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals was unlikely to be his peak :D

This game has gone on for almost 4 hours already. More than 90 frickin free throws. Nobody wants to watch this crap.
