Adelman dumb for playing his starters that long when they got the Friday night/Sunday afternoon turnaround, them nikkas weren't coming back just take the L. Jokic had to foul out to save himself from idiocy

This is gonna be their undoing
They'll ultimately come up short, regardless. They just don't have the depth. But it was still pointless from Adelman.
Runnin on fumes but make the game 1 turnaround after game 7 when OKC was chillin for a week and won that game :comeon::camby:
Yes, they were running on fumes in that game too.

Or are you going to tell me operating on one day's rest after playing a grueling 7-gamer that they weren't?

The point is, they stole that game with their tanks on E, so there's no point overextending themselves in this game. I know you're incapable of being rational because all you do is post with an agenda, but they only have a 6-7 man rotation, with someone who's moonlighting as a coach, so they're not exactly in the best position to be trying to chase wins that aren't there.

SMF and LAX to VA and NC
This is a unique ass kicking. A 48-point lead after 3 quarters, over a team with the consensus best player alive, who also fouls out in 3 quarters. I don't have the data in front of me but I'm betting that's never happened to any "best player alive" before...

I picked OKC to win in 6, and I think that's still in play. The Thunder dominated most of G1, choked it in the 4th. Completely and totally smoked Denver tonight. So thru two games they've shown more consistency as the better team by a substantial margin...

I don't think Denver's out of this series, but it's not really because of anything about Denver. I'm not convinced Oklahoma can keep foot on neck. And Denver showed if you don't keep foot on neck, they are good enough to come back...

I'll stick with my OKC pick because I do believe they are the better team. But it's a precarious pick...
