Someone needs to check on @thunderc

I’m good, I know what I saw. They will play better, and they will have to. Funny thing is I was here left to ignore the g leaguers by myself around here until it tightened up late lol.

Russ found him open… Plain and simple.

So more credit to Russ? Lol

Long series ahead of us. I can't change my pick now but just like with the Cavs, I think now for OKC to win it will take 7

Don't know if they win 2 of 3 in Denver

Boston is the only team of the 3 so far that I think can end their series in 5 or 6 still

@thunderc made a great point

Looking back at it, I'm not fouling with Jokic on the bench

I was thinking the same. Strange move

I was thinking the same. Strange move

And it's the immediate foul for me as well. Let them get across half court at least and kill some time

Wasted the best Caruso performance of the year

I still got them winning the title but this is exactly the thing people talked about with them, they are not locks

Just one game but OKC maybe can be had too

Yup. Some people here were overreacting like OKC is untouchable.

Haven't you heard? The game today is shitty and unwatchable

 

[bksballer89]

FWIW, Denver 7.5 man rotation worked tonight

AG 22/14
Joke was Joke
Russ finished with 18 including 13 in the 2nd half
Braun finished with a double double (15 and 13)
Murray 21/6/6

The other 2.5 didn't show up but when they get 4 others to help Jokic as they normally do, they are hard to beat 4 out of 7

 

[bksballer89]

Game 2 and 3 teams already in close enough to must win scenario.

Last thing you want to do as team with HCA and go down 0-2 heading on the road

These next 2 nights will be fun

no one is ever a lock

 

[msgkings322]

Fuckin awesome to see the presumptive finals teams get punched in the mouth.. the 3 top seeds all lost game 1 at home

 

[msgkings322]

no one is ever a lock

2017 Warriors, 1996 Bulls....there have been locks

 

[UK Cowboy]

Taking a 3 is risky there too

Wide open look though, they couldn't ask for more

 

[bksballer89]

Jdub another reason why people question OKC. Can you be the 3rd best player in series like this? Can you outplay Jamal Murray or even Aaron Gordon? Tonight he failed that test

16 points on 5-20 shooting. He needs a bounce back game on Wed

*picks up phone, dials 9-1-1*

...yes, I'd like to report grand theft, please. What was stolen? Oh, just a game 1 victory by a pro basketball team out of Denver, Colorado.

Thunder will have that kind of a resume if they can win. Nothing wrong with a little adversity.
