Good game maybe I was shitting on Phoenix too much lol

Wiggins needs all of Heywards minutes

Hard to take anything out of these 2 Suns/Thunder games from the suns side as both games came without Booker

 

[bksballer89]

The doubling of KD likely can't and won't happen if Booker is available

 

[bksballer89]

This might be the dumbest defensive strategy in nba history

 

[bksballer89]

lol how is that on SGA? Play on in my book

 

[bksballer89]

Such a bullshit call

Took 2 points away and gave SGA his 5th foul over nonsense

Yup absolutely a horrible call, bush league

Should win the challenge

 

[thunderc]

Guess they realized how bad it was

 

[thunderc]

KD with multiple bad turnovers tonight

 

[bksballer89]

Would be in OKC best interest to avoid the Wolves or Nuggets in the playoffs. Whenever they get eliminated, it will likely be due to allowing their opponent to destroy them on the offensive glass

13 offensive rebounds for one player is unacceptable

 

[bksballer89]

What I will say is there is no reason to give Jokic the MVP over SGA

Denver doing what people expected them to do while SGA got his team playing out of their mind. Everyone expected a jump from OKC but not top 4 seed type of jump (possibly top seed out west)

A lot of voters need to lose their vote if they give the MVP to Jokic again

I think Jokic wins it but I can see your point. The 2 play one more time I believe, Thunder up 2-1.

I’ve been saying it all year, glaring weakness. For whatever reason they don’t seem to care, they generally overcome it with the rest of their defense.

Jokic number is almost identical to last season. Team regular season success is identical as well. 42-19 through 61 games last year as well

SGA having OKC go from 10th seed to this needs to mean something

I think you can get away with it in the regular season. This can lose you a critical playoffs game which can lose you a series. The lack of care to crash the offensive glass on offense bother me way less than getting destroyed on the offensive glass when you are defense

Wow, they just said the first player since MJ with consecutive seasons of 45 games with 30 pts or more.

I have to agree, hopefully momentum grows.

FWIW, odds aren't horrible for him on Fanduel

Jokic is at -150 and SGA at +230
