How many of you retards believe OKC is a better basketball team than the Nuggets?

[QUOTE=SouBeachTalents;15005703]This isn't remotely true, there are several examples of a series going 7 games and one team being clearly better than the other; '08 Celtics/Hawks, '09 Lakers/Rockets, 2014 Spurs/Mavs etc.[/QUOTE]

Yea I think in that '08 Celtics/Hawks series in particular the Hawks eek'd out their home wins and the Celtics dominated theirs. I remember going into that game 7 thinking we had absolutely no chance..and we didn't. Celtics won by 34.

EDIT: They won their home games by an average of 25ppg, Hawks won theirs by 5. Definitely not equals.

[QUOTE=ShawkFactory;15005689]How? Even if we're ignoring the regular season, in this series OKC is outscoring Denver by 5 ppg, has a significantly higher ORTG, eFG%, and is turning the ball over way less. Denver has the slight edge on the glass and despite the ref complaining, is getting to the line more.

It's pretty evenly matched..and most of the metrics point to OKC. Obviously they are way deeper too.[/QUOTE]

That guy with the dreads off OKC bench is killing them. Dude is like an olympic sprinter. And Caruso. The bench is the only reason OKC is hanging and probably gonna win.

[QUOTE=Mask the Embiid;15005684]Jokesexuals will do anything to discredit his teammates. At 1st i thought they were trolling but no im starting to believe they actually believe his teammates are bad. They actually believe Jamal Murray is Derek Fisher and not legitimately one of the greatest 2nd options of all time. They actually believe aaron Gordon hasn't turned into the best 3 and D pf in the league. He's just PJ tucker in their minds. They actually believe Jokic brings the ball up the court and its jamal murray settings the screens for him to run the offense and not the other way around.

They rationalize Jamal murray outplaying every single 2nd option he has ever played against as "well its joker". Somehow they have even done the mental gymnastics of every time jamal murray being out and jokic gets 1st rounded as "he was too young". Monte Morris who actually is derek fisher. Should of been no drop off, if murray truly doesn't matter.



If you ask them they will honestly say that Jalen Williams is out playing Jamal Murray this series. These are very sick individuals. They have a sickness where they have to fluff Jokic and tear down every other teammate / boost up the competition by any means.[/QUOTE]

It's funny you mention PJ Tucker. In his peak 2017-2020, he was better than Gordon in the playoffs. Much, much better defender.

OKC has better players. They just might not have better starters.

But there's no doubt their bench will win them this series.

Absolutely ridiculous take :lol Esp if we're talking this year. Gordon's arguably been Denver's 2nd best player this postseason, is averaging numbers Tucker could only dream of, and has hit numerous clutch shots. No way does Tucker's advantage on defense supersede all of that.

AG is also the best defender on Denver and can dribble, dunk, and playmake. Tucker is a one trick pony corner 3 shooter and goon thats it.

How can you really tell who's the better team? Some of the outcomes have been so random. At the very least it looks like both teams are capable of beating each other.

I guess we're about to find out who the real MVP is.

by ****ing 5? Thats it?

They won game 2 by 50, how is that even possible?

This just re-affirms my point.


Sure, its "evenly matched" when you ignore the b2b 4th quarter chokejobs.


Obviously they both have 3 wins, so in total its bound to be close, you see that right?

[QUOTE=tpols;15005680]Arby don't ghost when we bump these threads. Nuggets have played like total ass on the road in OKC.[/QUOTE]

Whats to ghost over? I dont expect Denver to win game 7. Theyve done themselves in by choking games 4-5, 2 games in which they outperformed OKC.

The gap between the 2 isnt as big as to win 5 straight games, which is what theyd technically be doing at that point.

You're being a b!tch right now bro playing both sides of the fence.

So if Denver wins its[I] "I told you guys they were the better teammm!"[/I]

And if they lose, even if its a blow out they never led in and were big betting underdogs to begin with[I] "OMG the Nuggets choked! Did you see that guysss?"[/I]

Keep it real. Pick one side.

OKC had a 4th quarter choke job too...

There absolutely is nothing indicating, either in numbers or eye test, that one team is significantly better than the other.

Love this thread. When someone records themselves squatting while they piss. Hahahahaa


So many posts contradicting this thread. Yeah you’re a bored individual whose entertainment is trolling so you can go back and forth. Watch others argue. Then off to the next thread. Weird. Personality flaws. At some point do you ever get tired or you’re so addicted to this? It’s apart of your sad lifestyle? Yikes.

He is playing semantics which is even lamer.

Its called logic.

The gap between them isnt big enough to win 5 straight games, or even definitively win a game 7 on the road when the other team is playing with house money after humongous chokes.

OKC are absolutely better in terms of talent. They're just not as experienced and don't execute as well.
