You guys are hoping to see senior NBA playoff action in a key game between the Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, which might be surprised to see a men's college basketball game (aka a aka a Brickfest) breaking out.

After one quarter of the action, only 25 All The score between Denver and Oklahoma City was the lowest in the lens era that began in 1954. This is not a typo. In one game, the offenses of the top two MVP candidates Nikola Jokić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander were certain. As the game progresses, the Nuggets and the Thunder will find their legs (to some extent?), but it’s obvious that fatigue is a big factor in the whole process.

Then why?

The NBA's fourth game is scheduled to start at 1:30 pm, or just about 36 hours after Game 3 on Friday, which starts at 8:00 pm and It ended at 11:00 pm due to overtime. Apart from that, apart from a weird series, games are scheduled every other night, and the other three playoff semifinals have been extended at least once. coin.

Now, you might think that 5-6 hours doesn't have much impact on some of the best athletes in the world with incredible conditioning. That's where you are wrong. Throughout the season, NBA players are used to playing almost every game from the evening to the evening. This means that their body clocks can be prepared for peak performance at that time. Therefore, they usually wait until the evening or even the afternoon to wake up. But on Sunday, after emotional and physical overtime, late-night Friday showdown, when they usually wake up from their respective sleep, each of the two teams is already in the arena. They don’t have time for real regular healing.

No wonder Game 4 was the worst overall shooting percentage in the NBA playoffs in two decades:

Charles Barkley has been criticized for the league's scheduling maker after the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 2-2 to equalize this second-round series. TNT analysts say the ridiculous turnaround and early start times are especially "unfair", they are louder than thunder, with basically only seven spins, while Oklahoma City sometimes thinks very deeply.

More flexible Nuggets: Aaron Gordon's hero show Denver never fought.

Of course, both teams have to play in a short turnaround. The Thunder should receive a lot of honors for surpassing the Nuggets. Still, this particularly hurts Denver after finishing the Los Angeles Clippers in a tough seven-game series, without any extended breaks.

The last point of Barkley is about the Nuggets.

We made it into Denver’s 11 playoffs, and to some extent, it seemed obvious that Jokić was ruined by the huge amount of work he carried for his team throughout the season. His shooting split was the worst of his entire playoff career. He has always been hasty and easy to make mistakes. He didn't attack the basketball team and the Thunder's rim, two elite defensive teams in the NBA who blocked the paint while focusing on Jokić. Unfortunately, his actual dominance, including the first performance of the Heroes 40-20 in this series, with very few between each other.

It's hard to imagine a world where the Nuggets can actually beat Thunder with this version of Jokić. If he follows his usual elite standards by two-thirds this week, it feels like they have a real chance to win and move forward. If he doesn't, the Bucks might stop here in the epic second-round series, which has the Western Conference Finals feel.

Despite everything, the Nuggets sound like a confident team and have no excuses for bad ones. Even after a once-in-a-lifetime chance at 3-1, Jokic's running mate Jamal Murray was calm and did not alert after Sunday's disappointing losses.

This is the final winner of this series, digging deep and finding extra gas in tanks, or going home for summer.

Maybe it's not accidental that the 7 potential drills in Oklahoma City on Sunday - Tal Tax will finally have a two-day break beforehand:

Weeks are waiting for the best teams in the NBA, especially the veteran Nuggets. They have been in this situation many times before. Given their depth issues, we have to see if Jokić and Co. can overcome a very difficult schedule in order to find more gear to beat the Swordsman Thunder.
