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

No it wouldn't. Gordon even when healthy is not productive enough to warrant being a number 3. If you trade him for someone like Bam, DEN gets better because they now have a PF and a backup C

Why would they trade Murray?

That was definitely a foul by Westbrook. "Ugghhh Hawkeye" needs to stop.

Denver players are really bad but OKC is allowed a lot of slack for constantly hacking around in the paint. Caruso especially.

They went out sadder last year. They need to blow it up already.

Caruso out here getting multiple standing ovations like an opera singer. OKC fanbase is awesome.

Reminder - OKC was the odds on favorite to win this in 5

They were -800 favorites to win the series. For reference, the Warriors that went 16-1 in the playoffs were -1000 favorites to beat the Cavs. It was that lopsided odds wise.

Shaq and Duncan wouldn't let Caruso guard them.

The refs aren't why Denver lost, but they didn't help.

As an observer who doesn't care about either team, OKC def got the better end of the whistle today.

Well, people keep saying the regular season doesn't matter, but if this game was in Denver, I wouldn't have confidence the Thunder role players would play like this. The same way I wouldn't have had confidence in how the Nuggets played against the Clippers. You win games in the regular season, to get these game 7's at home.

OKC forces the most turnovers and scores the most fast break points because they grab, push, and swipe all game long and the refs allow it

It’s extremely disgusting

Up 24, 1.9 left in the 3rd, Daigneault calls a TO. No words

Give me a break man. Durant's gonna be injured by round 1 and blowing up the locker room to boot.

Nuggets need to wait out their bad contracts and build incrementally. Durant guarantees Jokic walks.

Don't worry, Fam, 24-0 Nuggets coming in the 4th quarter, book it :lol:

Most people expected Denver to lose in the first round to the Clippers. Taking OKC to Game 7 with two injured players is a feat.

Who wins the BIG ASS GAME 7??
