Series Thread: 2nd Round: 1) OKC Thunder vs 4) Denver Nuggets

[TheSnowdog]

Westbrook is a bit out of control
If he keeps up his chirping he could be out of the game with his 2nd technical

The refs will be lenient with him because of that but still you can only take so much

Early

More time for whipping that ass

Russ giveth and Russ taketh away.

Daigneault just going to keep rotating in bodies

 

[bksballer89]

Denver did what they had to do so this isn't a big deal

OKC won't play better than this

 

[thunderc]

This might leave a mark

OKC won't play better than this

They won’t need to play better than this, I’ll take 75 percent of this every game the rest of the way.

Easier said than done

For sure, but I’ve been watching them blow people out all year.

How many of those teams are still playing now?

One could argue that game 1 was an anomaly for Denver
They won’t play better than game 1 and this game 2 is the real Nuggets

One could argue that…

I don't think anybody would argue that this is the real nuggets at least anyone who knows about basketball. OKC isn't 34 points better than Denver

I think you would agree the opponent would not matter tonight. But to answer your question the Thunder beat the Nuggets by 20 or more 2 times, Indiana once and Cleveland once.

 

[bksballer89]

Denver shot 44% from the field in game 1
Shot 31% from 3
Murray played like ass
Porter had 2 points

Game 1 wasn't some special performance from the except Jokic but he's a top 2 player in the game today

You don't get credit for additional wins in blowouts. All this talk about blowouts and OKC record entering this game vs those 3 teams was 5-4

But 44 percent isn’t exactly awful either, lots of teams have games like that regularly, even the Thunder.

Record points in a playoff half

Doesn’t change the fact that what I said was true. You are the one that said they hadn’t blown out playoff teams.

 

[msgkings322]

87 points, most in any playoff half ever lol
