I haven't watched a second of Stanley Cup regulation time, but tuned in for OT on both games and man is it intense!

I'm still more into hoops than hockey, but there is no pathetic flopping in NHL Finals overtime! Then, after 18 minutes of legalized brutality, there's a penalty for flipping the puck over the boards, & Oilers win on the power play with seconds remaining.

OKC's smoking of the Timberwolves makes me feel a bit better about the Nuggets series. They can really blow good teams away. Talent, size, depth, athleticism. I will be surprised if they don't win the Finals.

Go get 'em, Joe!

OK, I give. Here's Nuggets '25 post-mortem - a) Physically, they just weren't going to do it in Game 7 b) We got badly out-fundamentaled this game - gotta make open 3s and layups and have ball control c) OKC's physical aggressiveness was frustrating to watch but largely legal, we've gotta do it too

I literally hear Thunder outside right now. Not a good omen unless Nuggets can get lots of 3-point shooting practice between the 3rd and 4th quarters.

The reffing sucks in this game, but the Nuggets still have to move out of and around some of the pressure. Coach has gotta adjust, all five on the court have to do the same.

AG already with one more rebound than I counted on, so that's a positive!

I know the world's going to shit, but I've been reading stuff from Shams telling me AG's out for a month; out for a couple weeks; and now he's going to play and start. I'll believe everything when I see it, thanks!
