Please dont ever compare jokic to prime lebron or even steph curry, one guy is a cone on defense and a liability on the other end of the floor. The so called best player in the league with no close second, shouldnt be a liability on defense in his prime. Westbrook going out sad once again, lakers, lebron, wizards, whose the next scapegoat for westbrook?

SGA really stepped up in the 2nd half. Didn't force too many shots and made passes when they were there. He needed this. Obvious Caruso and Dort really saved OKC in crucial moments. Nuggets will play hard in game 6 but I think OKC can still win that one.

Jalen gotta step up though. Only really had 1 good game in this series.

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.
Zach lowe said on his podcast that Denver is playing one of the best zone defenses he ever seen. Usually zones have some type of whole in them, but the length that denver has allows them to recover quickly. Plus they're doubling him on every drive

It’s going to be like the Celtics where they win a chip and dudes still don’t believe in them lol

Yea

If you don’t believe in this OKC team… what team that’s left is there to believe in?

Minnesota? Indiana?

None of the remaining teams can challenge them the way DEN has with championship experience + an upper echelon superstar.

This okc team likely is going to go through Denver, Minnesota and New York. if they win the title and all these teams are healthy it’s going to be respected.

Unlike like Boston, as we can see a lot of people were right to question their path to a title becsuse they played like a team that never faced adversity as soon as it they got hit with it against the knicks

The triumvirate of Hartenstein/Chet/JWill vs Jokic is basically a modern version of Ben/Sheed/McDyess vs Duncan in the 2005 Finals…

Meaning, there were games where Jokic/Duncan still looked unstoppable but also games where the wear, tear and physicality was having a big impact.

So how much Jokic has in the tank for game 6 will be interesting.
