By using context and seeing that the Nuggets were missing Murray and the Wolves were missing KAT for extended stretches. Them nikkas the 3 seed lowkey but lucked into good health
So both teams were missing guys better than anybody on OKC not named Shai?
You're proving my point. Minny and Denver have better rosters than OKC. The over/under for the Thunder going into the season was around 44. NOBODY had them getting the top seed or even close to it.
They still have massive holes on their roster which are getting exposed now.
OKC was also 3-1 against Denver this season; 2-1 when Jokic played.
MVP is a regular season award.

jokic's performance on tuesday didn't confirm he should be MVP?
He's the best player in the league but that doesn't mean MVP.
Also, SGA was amazing in game four.
