OKC was up most of game despite Shai. Then he went iso late and that allowed Denver to tie. Also 15-22 FTs to their 19-24 - OKC shot over 80% FTs this year and those misses also cost them. And 39% and 26% on 2 and 3 shots. Also need to play Wiggins more.

As bad as Jokic was Shai was bad in crunch time. He has been great all year in those situations getting the ball to someone else to finish but tonight he seemed to change and was going for the hero shot. Off character for him.

And Denver closed them out without Jokic doing anything basically. Like I said experience vs. youth showed up tonight.

LOL at you and thinking you’re a BB god poster preaching to other posters. I forgot more BB than you ever watched.

OKC should be up 3-0 but blew 2 games. Thats truth. Now they need to win game 4 to get home court back

I agree experience is helping Denver. Mark needs to coach better too. His inexperience is also costly

OKC made 2 shots the last 9:04 of reg/OT. That was the difference. Too much iso

OKC is having trouble switching from regular seasons pace to playoffs. Houston had the same problem but they didn’t have SGA. If Denver ever learns how to play clean and not turn it over constantly they’re gonna win the series.

Let's be really real.

This version of the Thunder have two playoff series wins. Both against teams missing their superstar player.

They haven't done shite to make any seasoned team like the Nuggs afraid. The nuggets don't bend to how they play

Thunder won't be good though to win a meaningful playoff series if they don't get some legitimate help for Shai. A bunch of good role players will do you well in the regular season, but they just don't have enough fire power for the post season.

SGA is a star and Williams had a big game tonight but their half court offense doesn’t flow. It’s either SGA’s turn or Williams turn to iso. They have to find a natural 2nd action to play off of SGA. Can’t just have them taking turns going 1 on 1.

SGA is a better basketball player than Jamal.


In general, yes. He seems less injury prone. Jamal is almost like Westbrook in a lot of ways. Makes a lot of mistakes when the game's not on the line. But, at least he excels at hero-ball when it matters most.

Always best to live in "is" instead of "should". It'll drive you crazy, brother.

Denver's only up 2-1. I honestly don't expect Denver to win another game in this series. For me, it would be nice if they do but I don't expect it.

I don't think okc wins the series, and if they do it'll be in 7

Just don't have what it takes between the ears to get it done as a team.

OU Guy has rocketed to the top five most annoying MSB posters. I don't think I ever really noticed him until about a week ago.

Everybody gets super excited or overly depressed over the last game.

I remember last year when TWolves were up 2-0 over the Nuggets, everyone was on the ANT train and Joker was garbage.

3 games later and then ANT who???

Then 2 games later and ANT was going to be the face of the NBA.

People get way too excited way too easily here.
