    The OKC/Denver level of basketball was much higher than the earlier Cavs/Pacers game.

    Judging by how exhausted both teams are, game 4 will have a tough time living up to this.

    Gordon has really come a long way. He’s improved so much since his early days.

    Gordon's shooting coach fixed a hitch that he had. We need to steal that coach.

    I saw him play a high school game in Missouri City at Hightower against the Harrison twins and was not impressed at all.

    He has developed into a complete NBA basketball player.

    Yup, from being the dunk contest guy (winner) to now knocking down clutch shots. And I remember @D-rock always wanted to trade for him. :D Well he was right about him in the end.

    Denver played near perfect ball the end of this game, all thanks to Murray and Gordon

    He also really wanted ben simmons in the harden trade instead of the nets picks. One hit, one whopper of a miss lol

    Nuggets won the Aaron Gordon trade by a country mile.

    Orlando got. Gary Harris. RJ Hampton. and the 25th pick this year.

    Gordon also turned from this to a hippie.

    Crazy series so far. So unbalanced lol. But I hope the Nuggets beat the Thunder.

    Sheesh crazy how the Nuggets won this, so much didn’t go their way: missing close shots (whining way too much for fouls), Jokic not on point and forcing up threes instead of feeding MPJ who was hot, Westbrook missing threes, the turnovers, the tip ins that were all goaltending. Also I am really jealous of the Thunder’s wings. It looks like all of them can dribble, hit a three, get to the basket. We have such limited players. Anyway, kudos to the Nuggets and hope they win. A Nuggets Knicks finals would be awesome.

    One take away from this game: The Rockets aren't the only team that miss tons of layups. :D

    These stats improved MASSIVELY yesterday, it was way worse in the previous 9 games. Denver with jokic off has an offensive rating of 104.5 and defensive rating of 123.7. That would probably make them a 9-73ish level team without him.

    I don’t. If GS gets past minny it’s a much better matchup for them
