Putting up 87 points in a half is something. All-time record.

Thunder are im. press. ive. Enjoy watching them play. I like how they've been the only higher seed to go into Game 2 with the mentality of, "I bet you ain't about to do that **** again!"

Nuggets show championship poise in the OT for the win. Murray had great defensive plays to go along with his clutch shooting. Him pulling the chair on J-Dub and Shai was chefs' kiss.
Both Jokic and Shai were off. OKC should have gone for J-Dub down the stretch.

There’s no way denver can win a championship with this roster and a interim coach a week before the playoffs right

Never doubt Jokic and if playoff Murray shows up as well. Aaron Gordon I fell in love with him man I can’t remember a player changing there shot like this in one off season

Yeah, I thought that Gilgeous-Alexander was showing good leadership and decision making in looking for Williams down the stretch. And then the last minute and a half came, and he decided that he wanted to be the one to win it and I thought, "He's going to **** around and shoot OKC out of this game."

Minnesota's well on their way to becoming legitimate championship contenders within the next handful of years. I've been impressed with them so far in the postseason.

To be fair to the troll Green has been getting away with murder for almost a decade now
This would hit harder if Jimmy Butler did not have a proven track record of performing better in the playoffs than the regular season. Guy is the anti-Paul George. Not only that, but the numbers clearly show that historically he has increased his scoring every round he goes deeper into the playoffs. I'm calling last night an exception until proven otherwise.

Two good playoff runs and he’s some playoff demon is wild getting credit for beating an injured bucks team whose coach lost his brother mid series as well as other injuries too. James harden damn near beat prime GSW team with KD is CP doesn’t get hurt but he’s a choker
It's more than just "two good playoff runs," which you would know if you bothered to look it up, instead of just going by vibes. He has performed better in the playoffs than during the regular season for every team he's ever been on, except Minnesota. His career average in each round is higher than his career regular season average, and his career average in each successive round is higher than each previous round.
You know who can't say that about their career? James Harden. Harden's career regular season average is higher than his career playoff average for every team he's ever been on, except Oklahoma City: his numbers, unlike Butler's, have historically gone down when the lights are the brightest. And his career average in each successive round is lower than each previous round. Harden is a playoff choker, Butler is not.

Saying his numbers in the playoffs are higher than the regular season is rich considering he doesn’t show for the regular season.
Harden takes a lot of heat for the playoffs but nearly beating they GSW team trumps anything butler has donw

Great first half action between the Nuggets and Thunder. Competitive quality basketball.

What a game. This was a MVP showcase. Denver messed up by going away from Jokic early in the 4th.

Why the **** is OKC allowed to play prison rules on defense why is Williams/Hart allowed to push him off when he’s trying to set a screen or run a play
How did booth put together this roster of 8-9 unplayable players Westbrook, Porter, and Braun shouldn’t be getting minutes on any playoff team

Outside of Jokic denver was 1-15 in the fourth how the **** is that possible
You've got to be the only person who believes that being better during the playoffs than the regular season is something that should be held against a player.
"Nearly" beating a team doesn't trump anything. Harden doesn't get it done when it matters.

Saying he doesn't show up for the regular season is rich unless you actually take the time to look at his stats, which would immediately void your ridiculous take.
