    outside of shai's flopping okc has no way to "earn" free throws, and they play defense similar to old GS where they just hack every single play. Jokic should have at least 10 more free throws so far if not more.

    The rockets shot more free throws in 2018 game 7 than the warriors, this is like that.

    Exactly this.

    foul count and free throw count disparity literally does not mean anything.

    all that matters is refs missing calls or making wrong calls.

    I see nuggets getting screwed as they’re getting hacked every play. I don’t see thunder getting screwed.

    I do agree that the way they're calling the game favors the Thunder. Dort, Caruso, and the Thunder guards are frequently hand checking and slapping down on wrists. It's not why the Nuggets are losing though. Nuggets need to adapt and do the same on the defensive side.

    They don't "hack every single play". OKC has length and if you throw the ball in traffic or put the ball in harms way, there will be a deflection.

    Some of you guys are pathetic.

    You should watch the game, granted denver is so bad they have no chance but you'd see what's going on and not say silly stuff like this.

    Foul and free throw count, by themselves, really don’t mean anything.

    imagine one team commits shooting fouls 20 times but only gets called for it 10 times which leads to 20 free throws for other team.

    imagine the other team fouls 5 times but gets called it all 5 times, leading to 10 free throws for the other team.

    The team who is leading the free throw disparity 20-10 is still the one getting screwed because they should be leading 40-10 in a fair game.

    I am watching the game. What I'm NOT doing is making up stuff to fit a narrative I want to believe.

    Guys, I've already said I want the Nuggets to win but it ain't happening and the officials have zero to do with it.

    Sorry if that hurts your feelings. Grow up.

    So we all know that Jokic is the only threat to the thunder right?

    this is a 68 win team that will cruise vs 6 seeded t wolves and the clowns out east.

    Not a chance sadly.

    Jokic was only guy left who can threaten this 68 win thunder team.

    thunder will cruise vs wolves and whoever comes out of the east

    I overestimated the Clippers, probably because I wanted them to lose so badly.
