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

[HurricaneDij39]

This might sound obvious but Denver has to protect home court the next two games to have any sort of chance, provided the series isn't over already...

Just have to hope a beatdown like this could make them more desperate. They've had every reason in the world to quit on this season... But it's time to respond once again.

OKC needed that beatdown after gagging away game 1. Very impressive for a young team to respond that way

I don't think anybody would argue that this is the real nuggets at least anyone who knows about basketball. OKC isn't 34 points better than Denver

True.

But by the same token, Denver isn’t 2 points better than OKC.

The truth is that OKC is probably about 8-10 points better.

Denver must win the 1 possession games to keep this series close. Because there will be more lopsided OKC wins.

But seriously, although the Ws have a small chance to win tomorrow (I really thought before this OKC game Denver had NO chance), this kind of ass whupping is the most likely outcome tomorrow. No Curry, Minny getting mad. Maybe not 35 points but a 15+ point Minnesota win seems the most probable

Yeah, I agree.

Would be different with Curry

Yeah, I agree.

Never doubt Playoff Jimmy....

Wouldn't have thought NY would be up 2-0 after 2 games in Boston.

Won't surprise me if Butler and the Warriors win 2 in Minny. Or at the very least, cover the spread tonight.
