Team played bad overall. Fouls were part of it too. SGA picking up a 4th foul in 2nd qtr when we had all the momentum was game changing. That 4th was a legit foul, but he tried to force it and lost handle and then fouled Jokic for his 4th. Then sat rest of half. Den went on a run to tie and only a Dort 3 put us up at half. We had stretched the lead and going for more when SGA blew his dribble and fouled. Huge then of game.
Then SGA had to play no defense starting 3rd qtr and Den exploited it and tried to work his side of court on offense. Those 4 fouls really changed how we played all 3rd qtr. then we sat him early and our other star didn’t step up.
I felt that was key to this game, SGA in foul trouble changed dynamics. He’s also the ball distributor. It hurt us on both ends.
If we can get fair reffing in game 7, I like OKC to win. NBA wanted this to go 7 as these are the 2 best teams left in playoffs.

Game 7 at 2:30. Win or done.
If we are leading Denver by a good amount in 2nd half expect some chippiness.
These are 2 best teams left, but each series has its own challenges.

SGA winning MVP gives OKC 3 MVPS in last 12 years, most ever in that timeline.
Here he is in Aug 2019

Another dub. Had a 3rd qtr thunderswarm that sealed the deal. Off to Minny where free throw merchant chants will roar down. Bring it on. Need to steal 1 of these 2 road games.

Whenever Presti leaves the dark days will set in. We’ve been spoiled and Presti proved a small market team (28th of 30) can have success.

Great game. Team grew up and kept lead between 0-10 whole game, never gave it up. Up 3-1 can close out at home Wed.

I haven’t watched the other series, just listened on radio. How do we match up with the Pacers?

I think it will be a good hard fought series. Jokic was/is the type player who slows down and disrupts our flow, so the game will be more open. Indy has a great coach who we know from Mavs.
Number 1 D (OKC) vs number 1 O over last 2 years.

It's interesting, in my 40+ years I've never shown clips to my teams of NBA defense. Offensive sets and individual moves, but never defense. Until this past season. We watched the Thunder at least 3x a week. Their switching, loading up to help, and rotations are awesome. And they are still so young!!!
