    The game should have never been that close. I blame it on Perkins for launching the ball out of bounds when the Thunder were up 8 with 40 seconds to go.

    If he just inbounds the ball and OKC makes a free throw, Denver would have pretty much given up. Instead, Denver gets the ball back down 8 and hits a 3 pointer right away. Instead of being down 9-10, they are down 5 with a little hope and they start fouling, hitting threes, calling timeouts, ect.

    Either way, a win is a win. I hope people will shut up with the Thunder being overrated. If anything, the Nuggets are overrated. The Thunder had the best two players on the court and Ibaka and Perkins were the best big men. The Thunder ARE the better team.

    There were 88 free throws shot in this game (63 makes) and only 191 points scored. Wow.

    Denver played like a mess.

    Perkins was a total non-factor and Denver lost anyway.

    those three missed free throws at the end of the third quaarter were crucial. Why Carl kept that useless waste of space Felton on the court all 3 and 4 quarters? Why didnt he substitute Smith when he was missing all those shots(5 or 6 in a row)? Why he didnt keep The Bird on the floor as he was the best of the team by far? And the last attack was the top of all..

    Agree. Then they had a few wasted possessions to start the fourth that could've put them up by 5-7. Instead they dicked around and really got lazy.

    Thunder have to close out these sort of games stronger. They go through bad periods of play & won't get away with it in the 2nd round.

    Good job with your analysis. You make fun of Goat Milk for him saying game 3 was rigged with Dallas getting lot of help yet you make statements like this time OVER AND OVER AGAIN.


    No wonder you have no credibility
