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

[Picklerick 2.0]

Denver sure loves their game 7s.

True, but experience in those games often determines the winner

Yep Denver also been in multiple game 7s. This is the first one for most of this okc group except SGA, Hartenstein, and maybe Dort and I think those 3 only played in 1 each at most

Win or lose...this going 7 will be good for OKC.

No doubt, but damn

 

[msgkings322]

Are you the same poster who said okc in 5 or am I seeing things?

I for sure was drinking the OKC Kool Aid...regular season was so good I thought ok these guys can be that. But let's be clear, they still are the best team left, this is still a OKC title year IMO

It better be. With how things broken in the east and even out west, this should end in an okc title but I have my doubts. Jdub just not that guy

 

[tlance]

Okay...and what if he picks up #5 early in the qtr?

Definitely the right move.

What if he never picks up his 5th foul?

Being overly conservative with stars in foul trouble is the worst mistake old school coaches make.

Yeah that’s a move you can never make in the playoffs. Also think it’s easier to avoid fouling as a guard anyway once you aren’t silly

No doubt, the pressure is huge on both equally but if one team has been through it before that's a big advantage. This is exactly what we said was the OKC vulnerability, (you can't fake that you have to live it). I picked them to win the title and stand by it, but they are clearly not the juggernaut I and others envisioned.

Needs to be better but he's young still he will be better

 

[bksballer89]

Needs to be better but he's young still he will be better

Or he can be James harden in the playoffs

TBD

Nuggets/Clippers best round 1 series.
OKC/Nuggets best second round series.

I don’t remember a more entertaining nba playoffs … in this century anyway …

I’d love it, but not optimistic.

 

[msgkings322]

Kinda extra bummed Steph hurt because that series was probably going 7 too, be great to see 2 game 7s this round

I mean, I'm always going to rate the entertainment of 2014-2022 as pretty high up there

 

[bksballer89]

Jdub avg 16 PPG on 33% shooting this series

 

[msgkings322]

Do you trust Jdub to do anything on Sunday? I damn sure dont

Guys play better at home especially young guys

 

[msgkings322]

Or he can be James harden in the playoffs

TBD

TONS of seasons coming
