2026 NBA Season

Even if he’s not at 100%, I still hope he’ll be on the court as just being there could inspire his teammates.

There were times during the regular season when Gordon was out, and the Nuggets still pulled off wins. So I’m really hoping they make the right call here and give us an epic Game 7.

The Nuggets will have a huge disadvantage if he will not play. Let's also take into consideration that MPJ has been injured before the playoffs and yet, he's still playing out there. I mean they played through 7 games for this series only to lose just because of an injury of a single key player? If I'm Gordon, I'll play through it because he's been a huge part of the success of the team.

Nuggets might've won in games where Gordon didn't play, but this playoffs already, and it's very different, and knowing that it would be on the road, it's another disadvantage for them as well.

I think that they'll still let that kid Strawther get in even that's a very crucial game of theirs.

They've seen how he played and he'll get some playing time again. If his first to two shots will get in, then he'll stay longer.

That's how the coach is blending them with him so, good luck to the final game of OKC and Nuggets.

Strawther played really well in Game 6 as a bench player. For sure, he will be given some minutes because he will be added to the rotation, and will be given more minutes if he contributes to his team.

I still can't forget that the Nuggets GM gave a 4-year $32M contract to a player who's barely playing. I'm talking about Zeke Nnaji, and between him and Strawther, Strawther deserves it way more.

I agree, this team looks different now, but as long as Jokic is on the court, the Nuggets will still be tough to beat. Gordon isn’t officially out yet, so I think he’ll still show up even if it’s just for a few minutes to remind everyone he’s there.

MJP is injured but still playing, which means he can help somehow. He just needs to focus on defense because right now, the Nuggets are basically just riding the Murray-Jokic tag team. Everyone else I guess are Just the supporting cast doing their best background work.

Denver vs OKC is all tied up and going to game seven. That is a very tiresome thing for the teams because Wolves are resting, and after having such a very compact and back to back games so frequently, the team with more rest has the big advantage.

Wolves weren't suppose to be here, they were shocking result, but Denver and OKC game is a little shocking too. Number one of west vs the title winner Denver team, let's see what is going to happen. I am not sure if we are going to win or not, but I know that I am not going to bet on this game, it is not going to be good at all. It's clear that we are going to see a game that could go both sides so it is going to be a shocking result whoever ends up winning. We are going to see whatever happens I am not going to take a risk.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are in a very advantageous situation right now. Even the extra 2-3 days of rest they've been waiting for is incredibly valuable. It will be a series where they can use this advantage, at least in the first game I think they will be able to get at least a 1-game advantage as they will be a team that is not tired yet.

I want Denver Nuggets to win this series, it would be nice to see them in the finals. But the teams are so close, it's going to be a battle of luck and tactics. The team that plays good defense in the first period will have the advantage, it's a game to be ready for any outcome

Anyone betting in today match between Denver and Minnesota? Or better to say anyone betting on Nikola Jokic against Wolves? 

I love joker so i went with him, but heart aside, i feel like minnesota is a whole better team than nuggets, if they can cancel Jokic and have a decent offensive they are gonna win this 7 game.

You are 1 game advance bro. Denver still needs to beat OKC to faced Minnesota on the Western Conference Finals. Even tomorrow much against OKC makes Nuggets victory is unclear because OKC is very hard to beat when Jaylen Williams is helping SGA.

I believe the winner on this match will be the WCF winner since Wolves already don’t have KAT which is the reason why Jokic have a hard time facing Gobert and KAT at the same time.

Denver vs OKC is all tied up and going to game seven. That is a very tiresome thing for the teams because Wolves are resting, and after having such a very compact and back to back games so frequently, the team with more rest has the big advantage.

Specially for the Nuggets, as they went game 7 against the Clippers as well. And with that, the Nuggets might be very tired and all bang up because of the extended series. But still they are standing and we will see what they can do against OKC.

I will not buy the reason that they are tired since Nuggets is well experience team especially on crucial moments. They are champions and their core is intact so provably that they can withstand any possible challenge and provably they are ready to have a head to head fight with OKC in game 7.

Game 7 between this team is exciting to watch and provably that both of them would do everything they could to advance on next round. Let's see if the experience of Nuggets would lift them or the youth and talent of OKC would be the key point for them to advance on next round.

Indeed, Nuggets got that core squad who are been together since they've won their title still the same familiar faces that can lean with each other and compete as tough as it can be to force their way to the WCF, while on the OKC's side they are young and have that skills and speed that they can use trying to outlast the Nuggets, determination and good sets of players that will be blends playing alngside each other, interesting game 7 and it's all or nothing for both semi-finalist.

If Aaron Gordon does misses out, I doubt Denver Nuggets could by any chance win this game 7, I don’t think any potential element of surprise of like Watson or Strawther would be equal to the task, Michael Porter Junior already is struggling enough, Gordon missing out would only further cast an even heavier burden on Jokic. With Gordon I don’t think the Nuggets would be here so far in the playoffs, he basically have won them multiple games with clutch basket made, not just in this series but in the first round as well.

Chill out man, we're not yet there. We still have the game 7 of Denver Nuggets against the OKC. We'll get there but let's see in a few how this game 7 will end if it's gonna be OKC or Nuggets facing the Wolves.

I also thought that he's not going to play but this is going to be a tough situation for him. News[1] just minutes ago says that he's about to play. I think that he's going to play out of his heart and this is a do or die game for him as well despite that he's got a hamstring. I hope that he'll play carefully so we can still see him play more in the next seasons. A defender will be likely his position while enduring that injury.

[1] Nuggets' Aaron Gordon to play despite hamstring strain

[el kaka22]

Denver vs OKC will be a tough game seven and there is no way that I would bet on it. But I could bet on over, because it looked like the defense is not the strong suit for both teams and I have seen both teams score so easily. Literally seen bunch of coast to coast from the guards and such, so it is not really like they are going to defend that very well.

There isn't much that we could do about this, so at least I can bet on Over and hope that I am right and on this game they score a lot too. But the fear I have is that this is game seven, so both teams could A) Be better defensively and B) miss a lot because of the pressure. If those happens then yeah they could score less and my bet could become void and bad one.

[1] Nuggets' Aaron Gordon to play despite hamstring strain

The Nuggets aren't taking any chances and it seems to be paying off for them so far.  Aaron Gordon has 5 rebounds and 3 points in the first quarter and the Nuggets are up by 5.  Without Gordon's 5 rebounds you could easily see this game being tied.  We'll see how the next 3 quarters play out but so far it isn't looking good for the Thunder.  I didn't think they would be able to get passed the Nuggets anyway due to their lack of star power, but there's still plenty of time to prove me wrong.

[bhadz]

I just realized that both Pacers and Timberwolves doesn't have any title yet. While Knicks has already two but it's more than 50 years already. And if the OKC wins against the Denver Nuggets tonight then, they are going to fight for their first ever titles. Let's count on the Knicks as well since it's been a while since they've got their 2 titles on 1970 and 1973. The game is now on the 2nd quarter and it's a close one, the crowd control I think is helping the chant to make the OKC more motivated.

Yeah, it's a good start so far for the Denver Nuggets. And the game is very close at all but it seems that on the last few minutes of the 2nd quarter that the OKC is having a momentum. Gordon has got a three point shot as well. The contribution of this guy is certainly for the Nuggets. Whilst there are a lot of turnovers, I am not confident whenever Westbrook drives the ball. I'm already advancing my mind that it will be another turnover.

I'm watching Game 7 of OKC vs. the Denver Nuggets right now. It's only 4 AM here in Philippinss but with game like this, you can't help but shout. I placed a bet on OKC's moneyline at 1.6 odds at that time, the Nuggets were up by 10, so the odds for OKC were still pretty high that time. Now it's a close game, and OKC has caught up. I think OKC will win this. Both teams are struggling with their shooting because their defenses are solid. But I really hope OKC pulls through I've got my money on them. LOL

The first half ended with OKC 60 and 46 Nuggets, so that's a 14 point lead for the OKC. I am also in excitement while watching this game. The intensity of this game at peak. We can say that their lives are dependent on this game if they win or lose. I haven't bet on this game but whichever team wins, they're all liked by all of their fans. If the OKC wins then we see a fresh face on the WCF.

[EFS]

The Nuggets started off well, but they lost their grip on the game toward the end of the first half. The lead became double digits. Gordon is playing with great effort and doing well, but Murray and MPJ are invisible once again. Jokić is alone again, someone has to step up to support him. That could be Braun or even Westbrook. Jokić can't win the game by himself. The Nuggets absolutely need to find some alternative solutions.

[ajanwalker]

Oklahoma took the series 4-3 and became Minnesota's opponent in the conference finals.
The final series will start on Tuesday and Oklahoma has the home field advantage again.
Alex Caruso was very effective in this game. He stole 4 balls in the game. Shai Gilgeous Alexander is a candidate for MVP. If Jokic had continued, I would have thought Jokic would have been the MVP but Alexander is a bit ahead now.
Denver had a very bad performance. I don't know how many turnovers they had in total but it was definitely over 25.
A good series awaits us on Tuesday and Oklahoma seems to be the better side.

I had the chance to watch the last period of the game and Oklahoma was playing very good defense. The difference went over 40 points at one point. Caruso caused trouble for Jokic. He took the ball from Jokic's hands at one point.

Oklahoma fought very well as a team.

David Adelman also put all of Denver's players on the field, mostly bench players, in the last 7-8 minutes. The announcer mentioned at one point that Denver had nearly 30 turnovers.
It is impossible to win a game if there are that many turnovers.

Their inconsistency made their team lost today and we could see that lots of their players is not performing well. While OKC is doing good team effort and display dominance that's the reason why they take that huge lead on first half.

Hard for Jokic to carry his team because maybe he's so tired the whole series. Well that's packed up for them and this mean 2024-2025 season is not for them.

Next to speculate is OKC vs Wolves and Knicks vs Pacers. We see a new teams battling for championship so let see what they can do and who among them will became a champion this season.

[EFS]

By the fourth quarter the game was already over. The Nuggets brought in their bench early. They held up well for the first 20 minutes, but the end of the first half and the second half were rough. Too many turnovers, too many missed shots.

This kind of collapse is inevitable when there's no roster depth. The Nuggets usually play with a 6 player rotation, with 2 of those players injured, they couldn't handle it. No team can win with 2 injured players and 2 others having an off night. In today's basketball, deeper rosters are a must. You can make up for one player having a bad game, but when it's multiple players, it becomes a major problem. On the other hand the Thunder are playing with a deep squad. They probably could've won this one even without SGA.

For the Thunder, this might be their best and maybe even only real shot at a championship. Once their young players get contract extensions, they won't be able to keep this roster together. Salary cap restrictions will force some pieces out. They have to take this opportunity after 9 years and try to win the chip this season.

And that’s it for the Nuggets. Aside from Braun, not much help from others. Murray only contributed 13 points, just when they badly needed offense from him. When the 1st quarter was over, I was like, “Oh okay, the Nuggets are putting up a fight,” just like I thought. But after the 2nd quarter, it felt like the game had already been decided. Anyway, let’s move on to OKC vs. Wolves in the WCF. Both teams are high scoring inside the paint. Let’s see who will dominate it. They were 2-2 in the regular season.
