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

[bksballer89]

Not going to win a lot of games at this stage of the playoffs when Caruso and Dort outscores Chet/Jdub

That can work in February against Utah or Toronto but not in the 2nd round of the playoffs

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

He had a horrible game

OKC/Celtics to cover parlay on Wed boys

Put the winnings i got yall today on it

I need 25/7/5 at minimium on Wed

 

[bksballer89]

Another issue I have with OKC is how don't you have a timeout at the end of the game? You were leading all the time basically. No reason to use both of your timeouts in the final 2 minutes

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

They ain't going 16-1 like 2017 homes

You said there's never a lock...2017 and 1996 were two examples of locks. 2018 also to be honest. 2001? 1997?

Yep just like Houston vs GS, visitor steals game 1, home team gets serious game 2

Westbrook didn't have a great DFS showing. I wonder if this can be expected in the series. He had a lousy first half. I don't think OKC's supporting cast are better than Denver's offensively so if Williams doesn't produce, I don't think defense will be enough as we just saw what happened.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Nuggets won't cover.....they won outright.....

LOL.

 

[tlance]

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

Nobody said they were going to win every game

 

[thunderc]

Daigneault saying that’s how they are going to play it when they are up 3 and it has worked for them in the past. Thats not what cost them the game, too many way below normal performances with Jdub, Chet, Hartenstein and the entire bench other than Caruso. They should have been up 20 at halftime. Thankfully they have to lose 4, but the margin for error just shrank.

Bc they were playing the foul game and it backfired. You better be inbounding the ball to SGA

Chet usually money at the line, Gordon hit a shot. If the Thunder play their normal game it’s not close at that point. On to game 2, Jdub has to play better.

Boy did I pick a bad night to not watch NBA basketball.

Me when Gordon was shooting that 3: "Why the hell are you shooting a 3 when you only need a 2?"

Me when he hit it: "Oh, okay. I'll shut up now." lol

Nuggets didn’t play that well either

As has been the norm against the Thunder for a couple years now.

But somehow the H2H over the last 2 seasons is 5-4
