Shams just tweeted that Aaron Gordon has a grade 2 hamstring strain and needs multiple weeks to recover. I think OKC has this one is the bad sadly...

That's really too bad. It does seem unlikely Denver could pull out a win today. Could a couple guys step up? Does Stawther have another game in him? Maybe MPJ has a big game?

It could be interesting. We have seen teams (e.g. the Wolves) let their guard down when an opponent is missing a key player. And it's not like the Nuggets have nothing behind Gordon. We could see more minutes from DeAndre Jordan. Nnaji could come out and surprise them. And then they have a secret weapon that has yet to see a playoff minute: Dario Saric!

And don't forget Westbrook. That's a wildcard that could explode at any time -- for good or bad!

Yeah, sad news. I feel bad for gordon and Denver, but as a wolves fan, it makes me want to cheer for Denver even more. We would beat them easily with gordon out.

OKC may win this game pretty easily. But you never know if Joker and Murray combine for 80 and a few players hit their threes Denver could sneak out a must win game. If Denver did win this series, I would say their chances of winning a 7 game series to us would be very low.

Unbelievable...Adelman says Gordon is in the starting lineup today! So Curry sits out over a week with a Grade 1, and Gordon plays 2 days after a Grade 2. I guess that's why I'm not a doctor.

That feels like medical malpractice if it's truly grade 2, I don't see him lasting 6 minutes before he limps off for good

Just amazing, Gordon doesn't look too bad. 8-4 start for the Nuggets with some nicely constructed offense.

Not sure if I understand the strategy of letting Lu Dort shoot open threes...he's at 40% the past 2 seasons. Doesn't make sense, although he did miss his first one.

OKC looking like they haven't been in a Game 7...
