Based on a quarter and a half of play with a few turnovers against a #1 seed?

Hes being guarded out there by a 6'3 player, stop

Okay. Still doesn't affect him being an all-time great player based on his career's body of work.

He does that when he isn’t allowed freedom of movement. Which is every play.

This is sad...
It was nowhere near a 14 points game, but you can't blink against this team, gonna be one helluva mountain to climb...

16 FTs Denver, 5 FTs OKC at half

Joker is 9/11 FT at half. I guess you're expecting him to have 15 or so first half free throws.

This. Thunder defense know what they are doing and doing it often. Nuggets are done if they can't hit those 3s. They are allowing everyone to get theirs as long as it's not Jokic, Murray. And only Braun has contributed so far.

Jokic’s two max contract help, in a game 7:

MPJ - 2 points
Murray - 4 points

:rofl:

They dont know to throw an entry pass in practice... Under presure they can barely walk.

Yeah and also telling us that "at the moment" it looks like SGA deserves the MVP more somehow. I mean its almost comical but then its ESPN.

Role players play better at home.

JDub aka "The Role Player" going off

Great stretch by JDub and good D by OKC. With AG hurt, that high-low game for the nuggets is non-existent.

Yeah, he's clearly trying to change the approach to make something work, at least he's not trying to do the same thing over and over in a losing situation.

Just imagine Tim Duncan being guarded by Caruso in a game 7

Post #977 » by **MoneyTalks41890** » Sun May 18, 2025 8:44 pm

16 free throws for Denver; 5 for OKC.

If you think Denver is getting screwed by the refs you are just wrong.

Russ looks... by far not their biggest problem, he's been average.

For some reason the constant stream of trolling is tolerated. It would be much mroe peaceful in here without that noise.

It's mostly Lakers fans or Embiid fans i think so it's easy enough to ignore them. LOL

He's the worst player the league when it comes playoff time. In his absolute prime I'd take role players over him if I'm trying to win a chip. Give me prime Danny Green over any version of Westbrook if I'm trying to win a chip.

Who wins the BIG ASS GAME 7??
