SHAI for three.

It's looking good for OKC right now.

 

[Cheesebeef]

OKC washing away whatever inexperience fears they had the last two games, closing out big playoff games down the stretch.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Denver just looked spent in the 4th.

 

[Mainstreet]

OKC goes up 3-2 in the series.

 

[BirdGangThing]

so much for denver wanting to keep it close - lost the last 2 games

Watching every Haliburton playoff performance makes me want to strangle James jones.

As well as Monty for his connection with Cam Payne. His performance in the bubble and relationship with Monty played a factor in not drafting a PG.

I don't know about you guys but this has been the best NBA playoffs in YEARS.

It’s a changing of the Guard type post-season with the NBA being as wide open as I can ever remember.

Jokic is incredible. He is like a maestro conducting a symphony... only improvising all the time.

I think OKC is going to win this series (obviously) but I don't think there has been a player that is so blatantly been THE BEST player in basketball since Jordan. LeBron is obviously the best player of the last 20 years, but Jokic, for several years, has been the best player in the NBA, by far.

maybe tap the breaks a little.

That was one good game out of his last four.

This is like 3 years running. He's the best player in the league and I don't think it's even close.

OKC has far greater depth, but the best player in this series... and in the league, is Jokic by a wide margin.

Lol it’s not even up for debate who the best player in the league is. Giving the name I assume you think SGA had some kind of arguments.

Jokic vs SGA
Points 29.6/ 32.7
Rebounds 12.7/ 5.0
Assist 10.2/ 6.4
Blocks 0.6/ 1.0
Steals 1.8/ 1.7
FG % 57.6/ 51.9
3pt FG% 41.7/ 37.5

It’s just a total wash for Jokic. Hell even the eye test tells you it’s Jokic. He’s generational. We’ve seen a ton of guys do what SGA has done I’ve never seen anyone do what Jokic has done

 

[Finito]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team fail their Star like last night. How many combined points in the 4th did Murray, MPJ and Gordon have like 2/3? It’s was ridiculously bad. They were getting open shots just ice cold

 

[Finito]

Looking bad Monty was so bad and all the signs were there. Completely destroyed that locker room. Remember that run Stix had and then Nader got healthy and Stix never played again lol

 

[95pro]

The nuggets are a product of Jokic, he's amazing, i feel any coach could have stepped in and they could continue what they have been doing. Nuggets looked tired towards the end. OKC just hits 3 after 3, much like the Celtics. Caruso has been huge for them, very underrated pick up.

Warriors and Celtics are done. Both were done even with their key player.

SGA outscores him by 3 points a game and it's "a total wash" lol. Okay.

How about turnovers per game? That a "total wash" too?

 

[Russ Smith]

Joker was unreal last night. That nobody else really stepped up had to be tough for him to take. Gordon at least was trying, seemed like Murray didn't want to shoot which is unusual for him.

 

[Russ Smith]

Kerr confirmed what had been rumored, Butler was sick in game 4 and it's why he played him less and why Jimmy was less involved in the offense. Supposed to be much better I sure hope so they're going to need him to carry us tonight if we have a chance. The guy on Warriors World is saying there's no lock steph will play in 6 if we win tonight but the extra day because of a WNBA game conflict would be helpful. I am expecting to get closed out tonight

Yeah total wash. Like I said not close

Turnovers is a BS stat for stars it goes hand in hand with usage rate. Lebron James is the all time turnover leader in the NBA.

If you look up the all time top 20 turnover list in the NBA only 1 guy isn’t a first ballot hall of famer.

 

[BirdGangThing]

denver needs a player like book to pair with jokic
