No mvp performance on both jokic and shai? Did she even watch the game? Both actually played to their expectations despite the tight defence.

Need the nuggets to get the dub purely to prove SAS’s biased self wrong. Make him eat his words and go against his selfish anti-Jokic MVP votes

J-dub is trash!!
If he continues to shoot as much shors as sga they will not hold the trophy

Jalen isn’t a playoff performer. This is
2 years in a row now where he just no-showed for basically the whole playoffs.
If I were a OKC fan I’d be pushing in the off-season to deal this dude and your war best of picks for Giannis. Once a choker always a choker. Just ask Houston fans.

Espn are a bunch of absolute clowns. How can you guys be this bad? Also steven A-learn to stop having favorites and biases. We know you anti white

Gordons injury is likely why OKC is more likely to win. That hamstring is NOT gonna be 100% sunday. He already pulled it. Thats not gonna heal in 2 days

ESPN just has employees that give you such simple lazy takes. I’m so serious. Girly literally said Jokic didn’t have an MVP performance. Majority of this was about Thunder this and Thunder that. No hate toward the Thunder but how is no one more impressed with the Nuggets.
This is a team that fired their head coach days before the playoffs, underdogs against the Clippers, and was literally picked to lose this series in 4 or 5 games against OKC. They are literally 1 win away from a Western Conference Finals spot.

I will be very disappointed in the OKC if they lose at home

Stephen A keeps pushing this Sam Presti narrative. He’s been doing it a couple of years. Nobody cares about OKC firing their GM. knock it off.

You have to be impressed by Denver giving they’ve clearly played the most games by far compared to their opponent lol if okc can’t win this they’ll never win

@foundationsyth9825

At this point it doesn’t really matter. The thunder has proven that they cannot really contend for a championship while Jaylen and Chet only play 50% of how they played in the regular season. This is the worst defensive team in the playoffs, what do you think gonna happen against Minnesota who can defend every position extremely well

This woman has no clue what shes talking about. No MVP moments meanwhile Jokic had a 44 22 5 game and a 44 15 5 game. How slow can you be
@foundationsyth9825
May 16, 2025 at 8:59 pm
If I got a keep hearing SAS blame a GM who doesn’t suit up and play/coach for not winning a championship…. I’m gonna lose my mind haha dude has been a historically great team builder. There is literally nothing else he can do.

Do they hate Jokic so much because he is white?

As a lifetime okc fan we are never getting rid of presti lol it’s how hard it is to find good talent and build a culture especially smart markets just look at charlotte and the wizards🥴

It’s just nuts if an American player was robbed of money by front office like Doncic was or disrespected the way Jokic has been Stephen A would be crying race for a full show.
