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

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

You see the play breh now his team is all of a sudden trash again and he’s carrying scrubs

The team is full of trash. Yes, he has Murray and AG, but apart from those two who else is there?

The fact he has to play 44 minutes for his team to be competitive should tell you all you need to know about his support cast.

Y'all dudes are truly insufferable, watching an all-time great at the peak of his powers and you're trying to get up with this trivial shyt about his supporting cast. Same dudes in every thread about him, steady hating, downplaying what he's doing by knocking him down to size.

 

[qnsfinest]

MPJ with 2 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists with zero defense

Prime draymond offensive numbers

Edit- someone already said it. My bad

 

[Left.A1]

Oh wow!

Glad you learned something casual

 

[Loose]

Joker jumping on nikkas to draw fouls should be a fukking flagrant he does that shyt every gang shyts nasty work

 

[Mashal88]

Glad you learned something casual

Save the insults for someone else my friend. If you want to talk actual basketball then talk it.

 

[ALonelyDad]

A 38 year old whos basically a jump shooter and injury prone? Sounds like an older MPJ.

Joker needs a dominant secondary creator that can just have Joker be a big and not trying to run the offense all the time

KD shot 52% and 43% and can create his own shot? He would be exactly what Jokic needs. KD does have injury concerns but he's also had to carry a lot for his teams at this age, he would be taking a lot of nights off with Jokic and even Murray

 

[bl2k8]

Its basically Joker heroics and praying one of gordon or Murray show up

The games they won when he played poorly are anomalies and wont be replicated


I mean look at OKC squad and look at denvers. Murray n Gordon sometimes are the only other players on shyt.

Brodie is cool but he like a catch 22 in human form and cant be relied upon

Yeah OKC is the deepest team in the league we knew this coming in to the playoffs,

The nuggets won game 5 of the clippers series with their second best player putting up 43, while Jokic went 4-13. Point is Jokic has a team around him that can show up in huge ways in critical games, and also withstand Jokic playing really bad. Most superstars in the league can’t say that

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

OKC really just wears teams down. I like how SGA isn’t forcing things, he’s letting the game come to him and it’s working. He trusts his guys.

Jokic was incredible tonight but the writing was on the wall even when they had the lead. Nuggets have no depth and shooting sucks. They just can’t make it through 48 minutes against this team

It’s been a great series though. I was hating first half of the season but these playoffs have been incredible

Yeah, I think cats have been a little harsh on him in this series.

He's had bad moments (adjusting to the whistle), but overall, he's really picked when to inject himself without overthrowing the offense too much. For as young as this OKC squad is, they never get too rattled or deviate too much from what's got them here. They all trust in what they're doing.

Nobody on their team is trying to be too much in the videos.

 

[Primetime]

Michael Porter Jr will have 25+ next game, put your mortgage on this bet

You see it

Bet the over on 5 made threes, guaranteed profit

Never fails. @Gil Scott-Heroin will make every excuse in the world for a European Player when they fail, but let them be black and he will be in here saying they don’t need to have a job

Giannis was out there playing with absolutely nobody and this c00n was talking about he should still be winning games

Hes gonna be 39. Like barkley said you dont get healthier as you get older. They need to get younger and quick

yep … I really like this team and the approach. The postgame group thing seemed like a gag but it actually manifests itself in how they play. People keep pining for some SGA takeover moments but the maturity he’s showing in making the right reads is more impressive to me. Fun team, hard not to like. Going 48 minutes a night with them for 7 games is a tall task

 

[ALonelyDad]

No one is looking at KD as a long term solution, you can definitely contend with him for next 2 years, next year will be wide open once again. KD and Jokic can get it done next season.

This is nonsense.

Jokic has been the most consistent playoff performer over the last 4-5 seasons. You're acting like him playing bad is somehow a regular occurence that his team needs to withstand, when it's an anomaly. Nobody does more for their team than he does. Nobody shows up for their team more than he does.

Go and list me all the times where he's not shown up in a playoff game and his support cast has carried him to a W.
