They may have won 68 games but still haven't beat a winning team on the road in the playoffs by more than 6.
5 Games against Dallas, Memphis and Denver this and last year.
They did vs the Pelicans who won 49 but Zion didn't play.
Give me Jokic(the best player in the league) and the points as a significant home dog.
OKC is more like KFC
Being down 2-0 like Celtics and Cavs completely different. Not only are Cavs and Celtics better and more proven but 2-0 and 2-1 have huge difference. Also neither of those teams Knicks or Pacers has Jokic or a title.
They should have lost game 3 vs Memphis. Only a ijury screwed that up. And game 4 was not impressive. Domination in game 2 at home means little in comparison to this situation. Look how these teams are playing as a whole this postseason only and who also has a winning track record. There is no guarantee OKC loses and they may cover. I find it hard to believe getting 6.5-7 at home Nuggets don't cover at least 60% of the time if they played 100 times in this spot. Odds play
I usually go for the coach that has his players grinding it out like this for wins. Denver has been down a lot and they can come back and get right back in the game and win it. The leadership is definitely standing out compared to OKC. But the upside with OKC is unreal they are the better roster with the better players but the experience is lacking. IMO I go with OKC to win today but not by a lot. The Joker is motivating his team and they are looking like champions but having been down this path so many times before... it's never that easy. OKC rebounds here and turns it into a really good series.
Don’t give him any credit. He stunk it up again, following up his 8-25 in Game 3 with his 7-22 today. I’ll cut him some slack for not being reluctant to heave 80-footers at the end of quarters that hurt his shooting percentage, but he was still way off his game. So who gets the credit for this pointspread cover? No one, they were all pretty lousy. Okay, I guess Aaron Gordon has to get it for having his desperate prayer answered with a second left.
He doesn't have to be great he is out there. That alone has impact. But any team with the best player in the league who won a championship and is in their prime having won as many game as they did should not get 6.5-7 at home vs an unproven young team.
Will be an interesting game 5. Probably staying away. I can see either Denver SU or Denver gets smoked. Dont really see an inbetween. JMO of course.
Denver shit the bed in the fourth had all the momentum and just couldn't make a shot and missed 4 FTs in the last three minutes.
Porter scored 3 pts in 34 minutes
He's a POS if he doesn't volunteer to sit or come off the bench because of the shoulder injury and the coaching staff is blind. He could cost Denver the series
