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

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nugs have 17 turnovers now.
And still a full quarter to go.

That would make a bakery blush.

OKC going to need this version of J-Dub vs Minnesota.

JDub still can’t buy a bucket outside of 6 feet.

He has lost all confidence at this point.

 

[Wamu]

Denver needs to cut ties with MPJ
He is Fool’s Gold
Too inconsistent

I think his problems are more health related. He had a solid regular season. 18.2 ppg to go along with 7.0 reb's. Shot 50.4 from the field and 39.5 from downtown.

He gets injured a lot though.

21 pts off turnovers for okc

They are up by 22.

That’s why they’re winning today. Not because they are a deeper team

They're winning because they are better, and at home. Led by the league's best defense.

How many were straight up steals?

OKC's defense has been on them all game long.

True, but they need something out of him to beat the Wolves IMO.

He can't be having games like 1,4,5, and 6 in this series.

 

[thunderc]

Thunder back to their roots today, 12 steals 5 turnovers. That’s the game right there.

Game 7s been bad this playoffs

I said that already

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

How many were straight up steals?

I don't know...but it seems a bunch were unforced.
Just basic miscues by the Denver offense.

 

[tlance]

OKC 100% deserves to win this game.

They are getting the benefit of a home whistle right now for sure.

Of course, officials tend to reward the more aggressive team also. But there have been a couple marginal contact plays on both ends in the 3rd quarter.

OKC has gotten the fouls called, Denver has not.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The Scott Foster Game 7.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

He is streaky as hell and doesn't have the ability to create his own shot. Look at his salary and tell me who would take that on for an inconsistent player who needs help to get going.

 

[tlance]

12 minutes is still a long time.

If Denver can cut the lead under 15 at any point in the 4th, it might make OKC tighten up a little.

It isn’t over quite yet.

Agreed.

Forgot about his salary.

I disagree vehemently

I’ll just say I wasn’t happy at all with the whistle in game 6 so fair

 

[thunderc]

Good challenge
