This looks like it could be an exciting first round matchup. The Thunder and Nuggs are both playing good basketball late in the season. Both teams are deep with young talent. Even though the Nuggs have more experience as a unit, I like the Thunder to advance past them in 6 games.

Shame these teams have to play eachother. Now that the Bobcats are out, I'm rooting for either of these teams to go all the way.

Oklahoma has the super star, but Denver has so much depth it's unreal. I also think Thunder will take this in 6 games, but a game 7 wouldn't surprise me.

Nuggets couldn't miss in the 1st quarter, Thunder couldn't miss in the 2nd. Thunder getting to the line kept them in the game in the first and in the second Westbrook and KD took over. A lot of energy in this game from both teams and I love Thunder's fans.

And former Bobcat Felton is doing well. I swear he has made like 4 floaters.

Westbrook with a clutch foul line FG with 22 secs left.

Both Durant and Westbrook set their playoff career highs this game, they shot so well.

Mr Why Not had 31

KD had 41

This is going to be the most exciting 1st round playoff series and very well can go 7.

Loving this series! Like I said I believe that this is the most exciting series in the first round. In tonight's games there has been a lot of swings, lots of ties, and lead changes.

Maynor is having a good half and OKC actually looks better with him on the court. Westbrook is sometimes out of control with his passes and takes bad shots. He is still more talented and still my dude but sometimes he needs to slow things down. KD is tearing it up in the first half especially early on.

Nene and Perkins getting physical like usual.

    • 6 pages of tuka and Seltzer arguing is actually 97 pages long
    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
