Damn man, okc is clamping down. Swarming Jokic, plus home game from them. Okc is a great team, my buddy is big okc fan. So I’ll check games here and there, text with him etc. nuts see where they were at few years ago till now kinda impressive. Great drafts and trades. A solid team and SGA is nuts. That being said, they had last week off. And Denver just had battle 7 games vs clippers, think Denver will rally and get some wins. Going be really Hard beat Denver 4 times -
@meatmarketdenim1 3rd quarter was a battle!!

@meatmarketdenim1 GORDAN is a legend!!!

AG is amazing. He works his ass off and it shows. Keeps the glass clean and hits clutch shots and free throws. He absolutely posterized Holmgren on a dunk, hit clutch free throws, and then added another amazing game winner with that 3.
None of it happens without Jokic going nuclear either.
I just love this team. If MPJ’s shoulder and head get right they have a chance against anyone even with their lack of depth. For them to play the way they did on 48 hours rest from a 7 game series against a team with 8 days rest is nothing short of inspirational.

That was arguably the highlight of the game! I mean, game winning 3 was freaking badass too!! haha
-
@Mizmazzle agreed.
The more I think about the game the more impressed I am with the Nuggets. Here they are only 48 hours past a brutal 7 game slugfest against a younger and deeper team who’s been resting for 8 days, they keep getting close and then OKC immediately stretches the deficit to double digits, and they end up winning with, of all things after how tired they must have been, hustle.
One of the grittiest team efforts I have ever seen.

Dubs just got nice road win over twolves. So hyped!!! Hopefully curry back for game 3 or 4. 3 would be extra nice since going lol. Sucks see him injuried but have faith in rest of the team. Crazy think few months ago we were so mid, and got jimmy butler and making nice run. Also nuts all the road teams won 1st game so far. And pacers got 2 over Cavs, wild ending to that game
-
I think Steph won’t be back until game 5. Hamstring strain is a bit of a recovery if it’s mild and they shot themselves in the foot with the Houston series. Now they have a game every other day

@marco23d
Yeah think your right prob 5 or even game 6. Week long injury at minimum. was some copioum on my part, hoping he’ll be back game 3 or 4. Jimmy, dray, and buddy rest of the squad should be able get couple wins while he’s out. And yeah not handling biz last series in game 6 was a heart breaker, extra strain on curry but Bright side is it unlocked buddy for legendary game 7 and rolled over tonight, the buddy cycle -
@meatmarketdenim1 if the Nugs can find a way to move past The Thunder it would be so fun to go up against them Warriors. We sure as hell don’t want anything to do with the wolves. I’m pulling for your boys…for now
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@Mizmazzle that game was so ugly. That score looks like the end of 3 quarters. I’ll be watching Curry’s recovery closely. I’m sure Draymond will stomp someone out to even the field

@Nick I mean at least the Pacers won two on the road against the top seed. Has to take some of the sting out of the gentleman’s sweep
Yeah for sure.
Playoff performances have been hugely disappointing post-Champ season. Sat here now waiting to see if Giannis sticks or twists.
-
@Nick that is indeed sick!
If Giannis goes to the Lakers I may have to quit the NBA
-
Damn, I had no clue we had a small, thriving NBA community discussion here! Glad to know!
Go Dubs! And from someone who remembers how through and through shitty they were post-TMC era and Pre-We Believe, I’m just happy to see them competing.

Dogs are now 5-0 this round.
Absolutely wild. Great games.
