G7 wins 32 points! The list of East and West finals is released, the Nuggets forwards are reimbursed, and the NBA s remaining players are the king

On May 19, in the second round of the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Denver Nuggets 125-93, and advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a score of four to three. It is worth mentioning that this is nine years later, and we have returned to the Western Conference Finals again.

So far, the Western Conference Finals roster has been released. Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves. The appearance of this group of duels was beyond the expectations of many people. Before this round of playoffs, no one thought that Edwards, Gobert, and Reed could eliminate the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, etc. After all, the two teams ranked first in the Western Conference and the other ranked sixth. The Clippers, which have Harden and Leonard, are regarded as favorites to win the championship.

leads to such a result. The biggest problem is injury. There have been large-scale injuries in the east and west of this year's playoffs, almost all of them are core players, main starters, etc.

Celtics are Jason Tatum's team. If he hadn't suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, which led to a season reimbursement, then he would still have a chance to fight. After losing the first two games, he won the key life-and-death battle, and the situation in the series began to turn to the Celtics. The loss in the first two games was mainly because I couldn't stand the three-point shooting. According to the law of energy, I could always return to normal levels. Unexpectedly, Tatum was reimbursed for the season, causing head coach Mazula's coaching plan to be disrupted and he had no confidence. In the end, the Knicks led by Brunson and Hart were taken away from the series.

In addition to the Celtics, the Cleveland Cavaliers are even more regrettable. The three main players, such as Mobley, Garland and Hunter, were directly injured and were basically unable to play in the series. At the same time, Donovan Mitchell was also injured in the key battle of G4. In this way, the Indiana Pacers beat the Cavaliers four-to-one.

It is worth mentioning that the same encounter also happened in the Western Conference. The Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves have a similar strength. Due to Stephen Curry's season reimbursement, the opportunity to advance to the Western Conference Finals was completely closed. On the other hand, the showdown between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets is simply a punch-to-mouth. If you win one of the first six games and I win one, both sides are hard to solve, so the tiebreak battle became the final key. The latest news shows that in order to advance to the Western Conference Finals, Aaron Gordon chose to fight with injuries, sacrifice himself, and also want to make a comeback.

You should know that in the 2024-2025 season, Aaron Gordon, who played for the Denver Nuggets, played a total of 51 games in the regular season, averaged 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.5 steals per game, and played 37.2 minutes, ranking 23rd in the league. According to statistics, when Gordon was on the court in the playoffs, the Nuggets netted 3.2 points per 100 rounds, and when Gordon was not on the court, the team lost 26.5 points per 100 rounds. For Jokic, Murray and Westbrook, Gordon's role is very important. He forced himself to play, but he did not change the ending in the end and was still eliminated.

With the Denver Nuggets losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder, they became the fourth team to be eliminated after the Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers and Warriors. In a word, it is a NBA playoff competition, with the rest being the king, and injuries are also part of the game.
