2025 West Semifinals: (1) Oklahoma City Thunder Vs. (4) Denver Nuggets

Love that

 

Holy ****.

 

Jokic and Shai are AWESOME !!!

Mayne... the West is so tough -- probably 4 of the best 5 teams in the entire league.

 

I expected two blowout games today. Got two thrillers instead.

 

Gordon with two insane buzzer beaters...

 

OKC gifted the game

 

Some absolutely dumb late game management. Fouling Jokic and Gordon immediately. Bad strategy. Let a few seconds run off. Should've let Nuggets make a play while Jokic was subbed out instead of fouling Gordon.

 

Did a Home team win tonight......probably not.

 

Lmao chokers.

 

There's been a lot of "thinking outside the box" coaching in these Western Conference playoffs.

 

Fug.....I know now why the Nuggets won a championship.....

 

that was shades of nick anderson by chet

 

I thought Russ was going to bulldoze his way into a missed layup there but he made the right play.

 

What a calm and relentless comeback by the Nuggets combined with a massive choke job by OKC. I love Jalen Williams but he was completely worthless down the stretch. SGA wasn't far behind him.

Jokic is the best player in the NBA and I'm not sure how close #2 is.

3 straight road wins in game 1 of the second round.

NBA playoffs have been exceptional fun without including the Rockets playing 7 games.

 

This is why I've always been cautious with the "OKC GOT THIS" narrative.

They can still win this series of course but playoffs are a different beast. It's really hard to beat the same team 4 times. They are a really talented team of course but in a 7 game series these other teams all have stars that can match SGA or outplay him and their core is still young.

 

I didn’t understand that at all….At any rate, the Thunder deserved to lose for making their fans wear those ugly t-shirts.

 

Brains switched off in that last play. The ball took a bounce before Braun grabbed the rebound. Everyone seemed to run in slow motion up the court. Jokic and Murray were behind the play. Westbrook passed it to the open man instead of forcing something. Gordon took a three down 1.

 

Brains switched off but instinct took over by WB and AG. Wonderful ending to a a great game and deserved for a great team.

 

The clutch shot making in these playoff has been insane.
