NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

The key to the Nuggs/Thunder will be Gordon. OKC is playing their two bigs and letting Chet play safety to help on Jokic. Gordon was so open on his game tying 3 bc Chet was worried about Jokic. This has done a good job of handcuffing Jokic but they are in danger of letting the others beat them.

I watched the play again. I actually don’t think Chet was worried about Jokic. He was stopping Murray in transition after SGA lazily swatted at Murray. Then SGA came back non-chalantly and switched on Murray which left Holmgren in no-man’s land and he lost Gordon.

SGA either needed to hustle back and stop Murray or go find Gordon knowing Holmgren was on Murray. SGA caused that whole sequence

I didn't think GS would be competitive tonight.

I didn't think GS would be competitive tonight.

Im impressed.

Hopefully GS holds on, this would likely guarantee that Steph will play in game 6. Probably buys another game where they don't even think about playing him. His return will be good TV.

 

[heitclone]

Kuminga is playing really well.

 

[JP4CY]

Well MN closed that one out.
Edwards went beast.

Why isn’t Jimmy Butler taking crunch time shots? Also some of these passes by the T Wolves late have been poor.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Road teams now 9-3 in semifinals.

Christian Braun's mom....

Happy Mother's Day indeed

Not sure how they waive off that and-1 for Jokic. Then on Jokic’s last shot, how do you call that a long 2 and not a 3?

It’s also crazy the guy has been as clutch as Tyrese and Brunson. It’s not like he hasn’t met the moment already other games.

The TNT and ESPN studio crews could not possibly be further apart in likability. TNT I will tune in even if I missed the games, espn I change the channel to literally anything else for 15 minutes.

I don’t like him but I get why Stephen A has a job. Kendrick Perkins…how is this guy in broadcasting at all?

At least they corrected it. Review was obvious.

 

[HFCS]

Nuggets on fire now.

 

[Cyched]

Murray has had a great series. Happy to see him catching fire at this point in the game.

 

[HFCS]

The way Westbrook just defended SGA, that’s about the best possible.

 

[HFCS]

Second half of OKC Denver radically better game than first half.

 

[JP4CY]

Bilas is right, OKC had to have that one.

 

[simply1]

Missed the game, what happened in the first quarter lol

 

[JP4CY]

BS call by the refs here on the review.
