If you're a Thunder fan(I'm not) you have to be terrified at the possibility of game 7 JDub/Chet, they are way too up and down

They only get reliable offense from SGA. It's a serious weakness. And if they lose, it's as wide open as you can get
 
Aaron Gordon's hamstring is going to be a huge question mark. Denver won because Strawther actually hit some shots in the 3rd/4th quarter, which allowed Jokic to rest for the first 4 minutes of the 4th quarter.. Daigneault leaving SGA in to get his 4th foul in the first half also helped change the momentum of the game.

The window is closed. Just like LeBron's. Neither of them are getting another ring.

Well LeBron was gifted a top-5 young player so I don't think that windows is closed especially if they build the roster well this offseason. Uphill climb for sure with younger teams competing this year having better odds for coming years than the Lakers.

Butler & Curry are a good combo that had a puncher's chance if healthy this year, but a year older for both they'd need a draft miracle or something akin to the Luka trade to be a serious contender in the future.

That Strawther run was electric, reminded me of a Joey California heat check.

Thibs has Brunson, Hart, and Bridges in the game up 30 to start the 4th quarter. Celtics have their benchwarmers in (including Baylor Scheierman!)

Getting nightmare flashbacks of Derrick Rose. GET THEM OUT OF THE GAME

He finally wised up, he wasn’t getting off that Garden floor alive if he didn’t pull the starters lol.

He's been the best big on the roster since January. I don't understand why Joe doesn't play him. I guess because it means he can't go 5 out, but the Celtics have been beyond desperate for rim protection and rebounding. Al is like 50% of what he was last year in that regard. Al is one of my favorites, but he looks done. KP looks like he has narcolepsy or something, like he constantly needs a nap.

Great win for Boston. Hope they can eliminate the Knicks in 7, even if they have no real shot against the Pacers.

Celtics still have a shot here to get it under 30.
 
I would try to move Brown and his contract. Not the popular move, but he's never going to be an elite shooter or ball handler. And his body is giving out. Looks like a 35 year old in a 30 year old body.
 
Aaron Gordon out for the rest of the playoffs, I can't see Denver winning a game 7 on the road vs OKC w/o him, they already don't have alot of frontcourt depth as it is

Did I miss something? I saw he was warming up and hoping to play today

My buddy texted me and said he was done for the season and now twitter said he's warming up and going to start.

I could see him pulling up lame really quickly, glad he's going to try and play through it for his team though.

Yeah, we saw this with OG against the Pacers last year. Even if he plays I doubt he's effective

Just came to post the same thing, OG looked like he needed assistance just to walk while he was on the court. Grade 2 is insane, Steph had a grade 1 and he wasn't gonna be able to play until Game 6 if it got that far.
 
Nuggets were never going to win this game, but Gordon has 8 points 9 rebounds on a grade 2.

Non-stop flopping and poor ball security by Jokic all game

Yeah he didn’t cover himself in glory in this series. Getting kind of locked up by both Jaylin Williams and Alex Caruso at times is a bit bizarre. More turnovers than usual too.

OKC schemed very well against him though.

All OKC did was scheme against him. They threw everything else in the trash. It was insane, but it worked.

Exactly, was a great gameplan. His supporting cast mostly isn’t very good, MPJ besides their Championship season has be a pretty significant playoff faller, and Gordon was obviously hampered at the end. Caruso was so impressive though.
