Frankly it's embarrassing when I see these modern day bigs getting clamped by guys they should be dominating. Havlicek and Pippen were great defenders, but can you picture them clamping Wilt or Shaq respectively?

Dennis Rodman did.

And he is much smaller than Shaq.

And like I said, Caruso isn’t guarding him in the paint.

It was more of a zone scheme that wouldn’t have been legal in Shaq’s era.

Ghost mode...

If Denver doesn’t enter next season with a real backup C and some shooters surrounding Jokic then he should ask out by next summer

Yea, Murray has regressed.

He was unbelievable the year they won.

Whatever you say, goomba....

Exactly

Shout out to Denver. They are champions and they did what champions do and that is make things damn hard. They did the Thunder a huge favor by putting them in positions they haven’t been in. Now that the Thunder are in uncharted territory I am hopeful they will relax a little and be more themselves. This is getting real.

8 of 41 from 3 is pretty damn bad....

JFC.

Almost Celtics territory.....lol

Also loved hearing the national crew give so much time to talk about the Thunder crowd. It was said that it is one of the best crowds in all of sport. People that have never experienced a college atmosphere can’t understand, but things get pretty crazy in that arena.

Which is why you’re scared to go to games

Daugneault with some good stuff at the presser. Said there aren’t many times when you wake up that you know you are going to remember this game the rest of your life. Then he went on to talk about how proud he was of the team after going down 2 games to 1. He says it’s a tough pill to swallow knowing you have led in 132 of the 149 minute but are down 2-1.

I'll talk about the Nuggets later but for now I'll just go ahead and say it... The better team clearly won.

Congrats to the Oklahoma City Thunder on making the Western Conference Finals.
