The fact it even got to Game 7 is a testament to how great he is.

They were playing 4/3 vs. 5 for most of this game, forcing one of their main players out there with a Grade 2 hamstring injury because they had nobody else to step up in his place. MPJ getting shot up in his shoulder and him playing with his arm hanging down all postseason. It's remarkable they lasted this long.
Praising "GOAT" players for going to a game 7 and getting blown-out of the arena in the last game :francis:

Honestly, making this a 7 game series is good and all but I feel like it was more OKC being too inexperienced to close games properly at times, like in game 1 or 6, than Denver playing well in general.

Caruso is really OKC 2nd most important player. shyt crazy. Generational if not historic elite role player. Not most talented or most productive but 2nd most important. If they don't trade for him they would have went at least 6 wit Ja-less Memphis. They would have lost to Denver too. His overall impact is crazy. +40 this game, highest of any player, guarded Jokic who only hit like 1 shot on him, forced turnovers, clutch plays and shots in series. These young boys was gettin lemon booty, tight AF scared as shyt if they ain't have his presence they would have folded.

THT got a 15ft wingspan though and he's HIM :mjcry:

Can we please put to bed, because X player played with a good/great team narrative dumb shyt. You want a loaded team because that means you have a competent GM that actually does what he gets paid for. GOOD/GREAT teams win chips. It’s requires talent top to bottom. I really don’t understand people like you who try to downplay good/great players for having other good players around them.
Exactly the point i try to make here over and over....
Cats in here want good players to somehow get shytty teams to championships to validate their greatness....it doesn't work like that....
Championships are a function of
Players
Coaching
Upper management....
Period.
