    The nuggets were missing 3 starters, including their best perimeter defender and best interior defender. How is this a video topic?

  3. @DoloQuan-1

    Nobody on Denver can guard shai or jdub but Aaron Gordon but he needed to guard our double bigs we a unsolvable problem wait till topic and sorber start making some impacts it ain’t gone see fair

    I agree Cason Wallace may never again go 7/11, but he has also gone 5+ one other time this season. Denver also allowed Joe and Wiggins each 9 3's. Wiggins has 3 games already this season with 5+ 3's (2 others with 4 3's) and over 20pts, and Joe has had 4 of those 5+ 3's games (5 with 4 3's). Lu Dort has had 2 of those games, JWil had one, etc. You can't just leave NBA players wide open, even if OKC has been a poor shooting team. OKC has lost several games just this season to hot shooting nights (5+ 3's) from unexpected players like Jaden McDaniels (has been hot all season at 44.5%), JRue Holiday (35% this season), Keldon Johnson (38.8% this season but historically a 35% shooter), Jordan Goodwin (35%), B.Miller & Kon both 5+, Bam (35%), and Jarace Walker (37%).

    Cason Wallace is a good three point shooter like y’all left them open lick your chop 3 like more times than not in a 7 game series leaving Arron Wiggins and Wallace and Isaiah joe open on three like they will burn you .The role players in the non sga minutes did a good job attacking jokic on defense as well a lot like if he can’t hold up vs role players of okc the nuggets will have a tough problem .

  8. @vonnypooh8564

    swipa a clown for trying to add that bit about the freethrows at the end, okc shot 3 more freethrows than denver last night, in the playoff series jokic shot more freethrows than shai, stop trying to use the refs as a coping mechanism it’s the most made up gimmick ever for a team bottom 10 in freethrow differential for the last 3 years

  9. @monalisasdaddy

    Adelman made a mistake and didn`t adjust.
    But – he didn`t have a decent 1-1 defender to cover sga.
    If CB and Aaron gordon were there – DEN would`ve played `man` defense on sga – and even if he gets his, others wouldn`t.
    But – hopefully DEN will be healthy in POs and then – it`s bye-bye OKC.

  10. @jjqq4116

    Denver didn't 3 starters, Jokic is coming back from injury and Jamal was questionable.

    OKC got lucky.

  11. @JohnFisherjpec

    Oh please, is this really a thing? Didn’t Denver fire their coach last year right before the playoffs, and still take the Thunder to 7 games, with mpj on one shoulder and Gordon on 1 leg?😂 Did they not play 2 G-leaguers in their starting lineup yesterday? Wasnt Jokic on a minutes restriction? That guy is playing at 75%…Its one game, move on… they’ll be fine. Same people talking trash will be the ones saying, ‘see? Jokic does have enough talent’, when they hoist the trophy. People are slow and stuck in the moment too much, this is a marathon, not a sprint. No one has ever gone 82-0. When the nuggets get healthy, it’s on. Cason wallace, career night… OKC from 3 (as a team) is really the hill people want to die on? 🤣

  12. @effingtheineffable6827

    No injury excuses, but the physicality looks a lot different when Braun and AG play. Not sure how it shakes out, but OKC gets many more bruises when those two play.

  13. @FavreianVengeance

    OKC aren't exactly a good match-up for anyone. Nor is Denver a good match-up for anyone. As it is, the Nuggets were down two and a half starters. I'm calling the half because it's debatable at this point whether Cam or Payton should be the fifth starter.

  15. @JJ8KK

    My expectation was that Denver's exceptional 3 pt shooting as a team would prevail vs OKC, which wasn't as efficient. My question was what was it about OKC's defense that that made Denver's 3 point shooters (except Peyton) feel they had to rush their shots, or feel unduly pressured? Are they that good at close outs?

    The Classic Denver « analyst » Talking about refs and opposant and not saying how bad Jokic is getting destroyed every time he match okc

  25. @timtownley-ow6tg

    so, three starters missing for Denver, their two top defenders (gordon and braun and Cam Johnson is their third best defender). How do you draw conclusions from this game. Shai was great….but let's not get excited about this
