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

LMAO

JOKIC RUNNING THAT TEAM
IF HE WANTED THE STARTERS OUT
THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT.

DUDE BE SUBBING
HIMSELF INTO GAMES

And just like that, this series is over:mjlol:

I'm sorry, but when I see a blowout like this in a playoff game, it's obvious that OKC is miles better than Denver and they just gave game 1 away.

I don't give a fuçk about "we did what we came here to do, which is get a split". When you lose game 2 in a blowout, that really just means the favored team got their mind right.

I saw this same shít in the 91 Finals when the Lakers stole game 1 and got blown out game 2. I knew that series was over and this shít is definitely over.

I'm back, bruhs..... I was HOT AS F**K about the other night. I'm glad they've gotten their shyt together... at least for tonight.

This will probably be a 7 game series instead of the 5-6 I predicted. They are too sloppy right now to be consistent in the playoffs. They have the talent and youth (vitality) advantage, but can't seem to put it all together.

Honestly, if OKC wins game 3... DEN probably doesn't win another game.

I say that bc you gotta figure we're going to witness the best version of the Nuggets on Friday from an energy, focus, and desperation pov.

I thought OKC would fold if game 2 was in any way close, but they never let it get to that point. :ehh:

In modern day history teams that lose by this much in a game usually lose the series, they shut my ass up tonight

Yeah, if this game would've been a close win for OKC, I still probably would've favored Denver to win the series. But OKC beating them down like that.........:damn:

You can't take anything meaningful out of the margin of this game.

Denver clearly approached it in a haphazard manner and OKC treated it as a must-win, and their energy levels from the jump reflected that. The Nuggets know they're up against it to win this series, so they opted to live to fight another day rather than burning themselves out when they've already stolen homecourt.

We saw the same in the GS/Houston series when the Warriors stole Game 1, and then they came out in Game 2 without any desire to win (and the Rockets came out like it was do-or-die).

Pretty impressed that a young team like OKC turned it up and responded like that.… the key is going to be how this game 3 looks.… do they come out to kill again or do they watch Jokic and the gang get that lick back and just feel content with tying it.… they gotta put their foot on denvers neck because that crowd going to be wild

This blowout looks ugly on the surface for Denver but I don't have any faith that the refs won't over correct and award that big sluggish foul baiting Serbian the strategic edge at the free throw line for the rest of the series. :jbhmm:
