Everyone on this board is a know it all after the game is done lol

Honestly I’m not all that surprised. The Thunder are clearly the better team and have controlled all 3 games. They better get their shit together or they are going to have to live with knowing that. You have to finish.

Kind of blown away that you can still get almost 2 to 1 on Denver to win the series. Thunder -235.

Same shit they did to the Lakers.

Looks like your team is in control throughout the whole game...but they hang around and then during the last few minutes of the game, they take their execution to the next level and you end up wondering how the fuck you lost that game. lol

LMAO. You're only the better team in a 7 game series if you advance

OKC is learning what the Lakers learned a couple of seasons ago...you do not want to be in a close game late vs the Nugs.

Nope.

Tell that to Vegas

 

[thunderc]

Nope.

Just a question of when being the better team takes over. It may not be this year unfortunately, but then again it still may. Go get 2 to 1 on the nuggets and get rich.

Means nothing. The game is played on the court

I don't give a shit about Vegas. If OKC is the better team, they'll be in the WCF. If not, they got their ass kicked by the better team. This isn't NC State beating Houston or Villanova beating Georgetown in a one game upset. You beat a team 4 times and you're the better team

Of course it is, and Vegas is not making any adjustments at all.

Really impressed how Adelman has been doing coaching in the playoffs as a rookie HC.

This only works if your team's best player is injured. If you lose a series with all your core guys healthy, you can't still call them the better team.

Maybe the more talented team, but not better.

Exactly. I think everyone knows that OKC is the more talented team...but so far, the Nuggets experience has them looking like the better team.

The question for OKC is...can they learn enough in "real time" to come back and win the series...or are they going to have to learn by losing now and applying the lessons next year?

Eh…

They have won 2 games.

But OKC has outscored them by 30 points.

This was always the blue print for Denver. They have to win the close ones because OKC is going to blitz them a couple times.
