I cannot believe OKC screwed that up. That’s what you get doing that foul immediately crap. Denver is the worst 3 pt shooting team in the league, worst case it would have been or.

sga is gifted af but jokic is the reigning mvp

jokic > sga but okc > denver

Maybe but jokic is 3 time winner and SGA’s team had best record.

I would vote for SGA this year

i couldn't believe it - okc plays mistake free basketball all game long while denver turns it over and bricks constant free throws - and you're right okc gave denver all the time in the world

aaron gordon and mikal bridges - both basically non-factors in their entire games only to dictate the outcomes

don't get me wrong - neither have the opportunity without jokic and brunson - brunson is nearly on sga's level btw but neither compares to jokic
