NBA Playoffs Rd 1: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Denver Nuggets

Thunder got away with a backcourt violation. But KD has been amazing down the stretch along with Ibaka on the defensive side giving that Mutombo finger wag.

EDIT: After rewatching the replay i dont believe it was backcourt. KD never established that foot in the front court. At full speed it looked like he established and then slid to the backcourt. Thunder advance 4-1. Sad to see this series end, the best IMO. Westbrook needs to play like he did earlier in the series for them to be successful in the upcoming rounds.

What a game wow

And yea give me KD right now over any other current player his length/scoring/handles ability with his killer instinct thrown in for good measures makes him unstoppable . He's a Straight up beast if they keep this core together wouldn't shock me to see them get a ring one day.

    • Yeah. Probably will be close. I am not rooting for anyone don’t really care that much.   Same for the AFC game, don’t really care. Except it is Sean Payton, I always like it when he loses.  But it’s New England, I can’t root for them. It’s going to be 23 degrees at kickoff in Denver, wind will 12-15mph, dropping to 13 degrees by 7pm with snow predicted to start before halftime. 
    • Most people will agree with this in principle. But it's situational and also depends on the results you're getting. We were middle of the league in sacks given up. Had the 27th passing offense. And if a few instances that went our way turned out differently we very likely could have been staring at another 5 win season. For the highest salary cap percentage to the OL in the entire league. While we had basically nothing at linebacker and not much at all consistent pass rush to speak of as we were leaning on two rookies. And despite all that our defense which has been on a lopsided end of investment compared to the offense managed to go from league worst and giving up historic single season points in 2024 to middle of the league in 2025 which is quite impressive all things considered. So yes the investment in the OL versus the results certainly matters or at least to should to anyone that would like to continue to improve and also maybe finally win another playoff game.
    • Still think that if Carson Beck is there on Day 3 you have to take him. QB depth in drafts has been atrocious as of late but what he is good at translates very well to what the Panthers need a QB to do.
