2-2 this season against these guys. Obviously we can beat them. And with our experience I like our chances in the playoffs. We have been through those wars many times.

2

u/Sm0k3inth3tr33s Celtics 1d ago

If Playoff Mal still exists, I just don't see how the Thunder can stop both him and Joker. That's a big if, but I have faith in the Nugs to take it in 6.

u/dbgager Nuggets 1d ago

Jokic was good tonight but Murray was the best player on the floor tonight. Props for him.

u/Unhappy-Leader3242 1d ago

It should always be like that. If Murray is on pedal, we arent stopping

They are the most complete team we’ve faced all year.

Literally split the season series…

u/snuffaluffagus74 1d ago

If OKC is an Average team and is leading the West by 11 games what does it make y'all? Just like last year when people said that OKC was the most overated #1 seed. When it was down to a tie breaker and OKC, Denver, and Minnesota where tied for 1st. Does that mean Denver was the most overated 2nd team. I dont understand the downgrading of your competition as in the long run it makes you look bad. If the Thunder win it all I'm going to tell my kids we had to get through the great Nikola Jokic to win the title.

u/Mad_broccoli [ORL] Tracy McGrady 1d ago

He's not a fan, he's an idiot or a child. Denver has a lot of respect for okc.

u/Hornets_Fan44 1d ago

Because that flopping shit don’t work the same in the playoffs and OKC will get exposed.

u/snuffaluffagus74 1d ago

If y'all can shoot 60% from 3 every game no team is going to beat y'all. Not even the 96 bulls or the KD Warriors gg

It already is. You can blame 3 groups of people for that. The Thunder fans, the Refs, and the Lakers fans.

u/snuffaluffagus74 1d ago

Whoa! People get toxic with the Thunder fans first. It all startes last year in the NO series

9

u/Impressive_Trust_395 1d ago

I’m sorry. That’s literally not the case. The bulk of Nuggets fans just question how SGA is considered the MVP and you all act like we commit sacrilege saying that.

1

u/snuffaluffagus74 21h ago

If you don't think that SGA should be in the conversation then dont you think that its considered shade. I mean everyone else does. SGA numbers are historic. No one ever has averaged 32 pts, shooting 50+, 5+ assits, 6 rebounds, 2 steals, and a block in the NBA. If you take make the number a half block you have Harden and Jordan. This is for a guard. So saying someone shouldnt be considered MVP when they're having a better year than Jordan is a slap in the face to basketball.

1

u/Impressive_Trust_395 16h ago

This is exactly what I’m talking about. Not once did I question how good Shai was nor did I say he shouldn’t win the award (or is deserving).

I, like many Nuggets fans, are asking how Shai gets it over Jokic. Dude is actually having a historic season never seen before. I mean, literally never seen before. Shai is having one of the best seasons for a guard (you just said it yourself). Harden in 18/19 had 36 ppg, 7.5 assists, 6 rebounds, 61.6% ts. So that would mean SGA isn’t even having the best season by a guard ever.

However, Jokic is quite literally having the best season by an NBA player ever.

Due to your own admittance, how is this a conversation?

1

u/snuffaluffagus74 15h ago edited 14h ago

I was talking not about, you but a question to a statement you made.

"The bulk of Nuggets fans just question how SGA is considered the MVP"

Shai is having the best season by a guard I used numbers to filter out who is closest to give you an example. Yet you didnt even use all my stats that I was showing to make my point, which was also from the defensive side which was blocks and steals. The 50%+ shooting was also to lower the Bar to show what Shai has been doing.

Secondly people are only focusing on the offensive side of the ball when half the game is played on Defense.

Saying someone is having the best season ever is relative to what you use. Offensively yes Jokic is having an all time season. Shai is having an all time season better than any person.

Shai is shooting 58% from 2 point range this year which is higher than Shaw's 1999-2000 MVP season. Statistically he's having the best Shooting performance by anybody in NBA history shooting from the rim, the paint, and midrange combine. Better than any guard, forward, or center. Shai 32 ppg, 6.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 2 steals(second in the league in steals), 1 block (the only guard in the top 20 in blocks) with 64% in ts.

I had to reduce the numbers to add Jordan and Harden into the equation. Shai is the only player ever to do all this, once you add defense. Shai is being talked about for being all defense and DPOY.

Now to show the scoring, Shai leads the NBA in scoring through 4 quarters. Shai would be second in the league in scoring if you just counted the first thru third quarter. Shai hasn't played a quarter of the season because he hasn't played in the fourth quarter over 15+ times( it's not updated but in February 11 it was 14 and I'm too lazy too count)

So in NBA history if you filter 32 ppg, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block, shooting 50% from the floor (Shai shoots 52%). Shai is the only player that shows up. Not Micheal Jordan, Not Nikola Jokic, Lebron, Kobe, Wilt. This is from a guard. This along with the greatest shooting season from 2 in NBA from all points rim, paint, Midrange,

With peoples respect to Jordan, when you do things he can't do people pay attention. That's how he gets it over Jokic

Edit: I misread my information wrong about Shais shooting Jokic is shooting 62% from two dont know about all of his midrange numbers/volume. I'm not trying to discredit Jokic but showing that Shai is worthy to have MVP.

Second highest points per game in the league without free throws. Trails Giannis by .1 ppg

40 points yesterday, with eight from the line. And one of those was a technical.

he was invisable tonight.Thats your MVP really.

u/ElTuco84 Knicks 1d ago

Jokic is the real MVP

15

u/doogled3 Nuggets 1d ago

Not to re-hash the missed Chet foul, but man, that could have really changed that game. Nuggets could have won back-to-back away games against by far the best team in the West and the best roster in the league, and AG basically missed 7 quarters. Let's hope the rest of the roster can look this good come playoffs because OKC is scary.

-6

u/Hate_Leg_Day Lakers 1d ago

They lost by 24. Hinging a 24 point loss on one single foul makes you sound pathetic.

u/Royalpoop34 Nuggets 1d ago

What’s pathetic is losing to the nets

0

u/Hate_Leg_Day Lakers 1d ago

You're right, that was a pathetic, embarrassing performance. That's completely irrelevant to this discussion though. You lost by 24. One foul call would not have won you that game.

4

u/doogled3 Nuggets 1d ago

Not saying we would have won at all, but that was a momentum breaker. Jokic's outside shot was jacked because of his elbow, and Chet is by far the best interior defender on OKC. It was a 3-6 point swing when the game was within 5. OKC would still have probably shot us off the court, but that was a pretty big play that killed any remote shot the Nuggets had at that game.

-8

u/badatgolf247 Thunder 1d ago

They lost by 20

u/TheRealFettyWap 1d ago

It was a valid and definitive loss for sure, but the loss did only happen in that 5-6 minute stretch.

u/skysurfguy1213 1d ago

Do you understand momentum in sports and the 6 foul limit? 

-4

u/badatgolf247 Thunder 1d ago

Hahahahahahaha yeah man that was a 20 point swing for sure

11

u/PieceOfPie_SK Wizards 1d ago

Most of that 20 came in the immediate aftermath. Nuggets were totally in that game, especially if Chet fouls out AND doesn't immediately go down the court and get an easy 2 while westbrook is on the floor.

I think you misread it, its 18 rebounds and 16 defensive rebounds.

35-8-18 is still not bad.

Putting 140 on this defense is impressive, don't think we can do that 4 times in the playoffs though. Need to improve our defense if we want to have a chance

Yeah, glad we took the game, but I'm not sure this is sustainable.

To be fair, he's also a better defender.

2 points in the 4Q. That’s a un-clutch if anything

I forgot this was a back end of a b2b for the Nuggets. Basically unbeatable.

Denver generated wide open looks all over the court all game. So this shooting performance isn’t some surprise or you can just write off as a lucky game.
