MVP Finalists Face-to-Face for this West Semifinals Showcase! | Official Nuggets (#4) vs. OKC (#1) Series Thread!

Ok... he's been on a cool 3 year run teflon don status, but this game right here... nah SGA, you earned any and all criticism from naysayers tonight.

3rd straight game OKC has led wire-to-wire. But the 2nd game in which SGA failed to close the show or even properly manage their late game offense.

dude really out there like he's getting MVP chants to drive just far enough into the paint to give IH a shytty floater

you can have bad games and be ass but you gotta be aggressively ass at minimum

Typical young team loss from OKC.

Youngest team in basketball. And it shows in these moments.

Denver has been there and done it

 

[MicIsGod]

Okc late game offense is horrible.

 

[Lord Beasley]

Same as the first game, Denver gets called for 4 fouls with 8 minutes left & then don't get called for another one until 2:30 minutes left & even then that shyt was called a double foul, so really with a minute left



Should have gave it to JDub at the end more & ain't going to win shooting 25% from 3

You'll see SGA get brushed, but see jokic get clawed by nikkas mimicking Catwoman. One gets the call, the other might get it depending on factors

Merchant Marine aka HARDEN 2.0

 

[tremonthustler1]

look at all these 60-win teams down in their series

If they all go down this is history.

 

[KillerPups]

SGA really is not that spectacular without the free throws- the haters were unfortunately correct

he was. but he peaked at the wrong time. his efficiency was down towards the end of the season.

 

[Flight]

They started sitting on his pound dribble side step 3 and then clogged the lane for SGA’s drives…

Gotta figure out counters 2

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Experience over everything breh.. if you knew anything about sports you’d know that

If you knew anything, you'd realize this ain't SGA's first trip to the playoffs, it ain't even his first trip as a #1 seed....

Dort was playing Rugby out there

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Mark Jones when the Nuggets are dancing after the win - “Sometimes you gotta shake what ya momma gave ya”

He was making weird comments all night. He done fell off horribly

 

[Lord Beasley]

Weirdo Gen Z vibes

 

[CHICAGO]

WHY DIDNT OKC
EVER HUNT A JOKIC SWITCH
DOWN THE STRETCH?

I APPRECIATE GUYS
TRYING TO SCORE ON
THEIR PRIMARY DEFENDER
LIKE OLD SCHOOL BASKETBALL
BUT ITS WEIRD TO SEE THAT
IN TODAY'S GAME.

DENVER IS GOING TO
SET THAT SCREEN EVERYTIME DOWN
IN CRUNCH TIME

This loss is worse than the 40 point blowout the Nuggets took.… you have the MVP looking like a bumbling scrub and you choke.… no way Jokic plays THAT terribly again.… OKC just didn't and more importantly HASNT looked like a team that has a plan when its time to execute in those high leverage situations.… just nothing but ISO trash… no ball movement no body movement just ISO junk.… that was a disaster.… game 4 a must win or its a wrap

 

[Soldier]

OKC couldn’t close out late in the fourth quarter. Inexperience, bad execution, inefficient offensive schemes and lack of killer instinct/poise in tight playoff games cost them. They let a Golden Opportunity slip away. SGA got shutdown by the solid and smart nuggets team defense. He scored 34 points in a free wheeling offensive game blowout at home in game 2 but only 18 points tonight in a tight and defensive game on the road.

They forced too many low iq/low percentage plays on offense.they made bad decisions with the ball. They didn’t make the smart plays at the right time

Jokic won’t have a bad shooting night like that in the rest of the series for sure. The nuggets tonight won with defense, grit, grind, hard work, smart plays,clutch shooting by porter Jr, Gordon and Murray, superior team chemistry, superior execution, superior rebounding, playoff savviness and veteran experience. Even Westbrook made great and smart plays on defense. When they hit their next gear, the thunder couldn’t keep up. The Thunder have youth, athleticism, depth/bench and talent on their side but The nuggets are better in everything else.
