Real choke by Dallas and a gutty win on the road for OKC. Dallas may have just given the series away after having an opportunity to basically ice it at home.

The Thunder are super corny, and Dallas lost that game by not being able to make their free throws. I'm not a supporter of the foul merchant.
Corny? Yeah, Dallas didn't help themselves. Poor babies.

The whole team needs to be standing behind the one player that is being interviewed after the game? It's Harry High School stuff.

Hey, at least they're together. I'd prefer that to what the Suns had this season. And obviously, it's working for them.

I don't mind it. They have a lot of team chemistry and camaraderie. It's sweet. Would way rather see that than the "unbothered" too cool for school BS we have on our roster lately.

100%... if this was our 2021 Suns we'd think it's the coolest thing ever. I love that young guy energy they bring to the game.

To each their own. I think it's corny, you guys think it's cool. That's fine. I'm sure there are things I think are cool and you all would think are corny, haha.

I don't know if it's cool but it's effective.

Unbothered holding a big L during a long offseason

I’m pretty sure the Thunder would be unbothered by what any of us think about them at the moment!

Watching the Nuggets, I think, take Jokic off this team and they don’t make the playoffs. With him, they’re a contender for their second straight championship. The guy is ridiculous.

Minnesota and it's 3 bigs can't do anything to stop Jokic. DPOY in shambles

That series looks over - and I think the Twolves players know it. Their role players look ordinary, nuggets are doing enough to make life difficult for Edwards and Jokic is putting on an absolute clinic.

Minnesota taking a few plays out of the Suns’ book with rushes long 2s and passing to the wrong player later in the shot clock.

Jokic just slapping his meat all over Goberts face. What a quarter that was.

I think Minnesota steps up at home, especially if Scott Foster gets the game.

It will be interesting to see. It looked like a pretty demoralising loss to me though - more the way it happened than the margin.

They gotta keep the ball outta Jokic's hands, he got whatever he wanted tonight against anyone they threw at him, gotta just do what you can to keep him off the ball and make the rest of the team beat you.
