cannot believe that russ made such a heady decision there. deadass. i was sure he was going to try and get to the basket himself. smart play, and an unusually heady decision.

Old Russ would have gone straight to the basket for a flailing, "maybe they'll call a foul" layup attempt.

Yeah that was just dumb.  And it cost them the game.

All time dumbshit move. I get fouling up 3, but for fuck's sake, let whatever time you can burn off.

OKC is probably still going to win this series, but tonight is why the notion of anyone other than Jokic as the real MVP is highly suspect.

And that's not a knock against SGA. Jokic is just on another planet when it comes to putting a team on his back. Dude's bringing it for 48 minutes.

The SGA dunk was pretty dumb, too. 

They were up 1. Take the guaranteed 2. What’s the other option, dribble around for 2 extra seconds and then shoot free throws? Give me the dunk 100 out of 100 times.

Gordan could never make any threes early in his career with the Magic.

He was over 40% from 3 this season.

Hah, .271 his first year for the Magic

Looks like he did get a little better as the years went on.

I'm seriously beside myself at how idiotic that was on OKC's part. Who the fuck tries to extend the game up 3? The more I think about it, the more I'm glad they lost. They really deserved to.

Shaq asking Jamal Murray while he's celebrating a huge win what he's going to say to himself after a 6-16 performance when he knows the team needs more from him to win...

WTF? Like Murray was James Harden out there. Shaq sucks at this.

I’ve never seen him move like that before. Could tell he really wanted this one

Unbelievable game. Seemed OKC was really just playing with their food up 8-11 in the 4th quarter and couldn’t put the Nuggs away. Huge, huge win. Feels good to be on the other side of a 4th quarter collapse.

The Thunder fouling Gordon with 10 seconds left 80 feet from the hoop was hilarious. 

Fouling when Denver was out of timeouts and had Jokic on the bench, like how regarded can you get? I'd fucking fire that coach into the sun. Inexcusable.

lol didn’t see this, did he really ask this? I’m over inside the NBA post game. Their photoshops are funny…but ya, time for fresh blood. Excited to see what the panel on prime and NBC next year

Idk. SGA at the line gets 2 points 81% of the time. 

He could have taken more than 2 seconds off. There was no one in his zip code.

I think part of it is OKC doesn’t really have any bigs defenders that wear on you like the Clips and Wolves have. Easier to run when you’re not getting bodied constantly.

career 85% in the playoffs. So that drops it down to 72% chance he makes both. Take the dunk all day long. 
 

OKC made their mistakes defensively by fouling instantly on inbounds play down the stretch. And obviously Holmgren missing 2.

You don't watch many Nuggets games, then.

Home teams 0-3 so far in the conference semis.

Seems being rested by easily winning the first series isn’t doing the home team any favors

What the what??? I stopped paying attention when I saw OKC go up like 99-88.

Funny enough so did my espn gamecast/box score on the app. It froze at like 98-88 with 9 and change left in the 4th all the way through to the end of the game.
