Nuggs should take the series in 5 if they don't let up, but we all know that teams seem to take injured teams lightly and end up paying for it :lol

That sucks for the Jazz...

Good news for the Nuggets, sucks for the Jazz..they've been decimated by injuries at the worst time..

Hopefully Denver takes care of this series quicker now so they can be fresh for LA since the Lakers series' won't go past 5..

Tough break for the Jazz. Nuggets should win in 5 or 6. I hope no one else gets hurt for any team. Love to see all teams as strong as possible for their showdowns.

stern hired shitty hitman they keep attacking the wrong teams

It was such a weird way to get hurt to. He just looked to un-athletic and fell.

That completely throws off my playoff bracket.

sucks for the jazz and okur.. not that they were gonna make that much noise anyways.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh wow....

The Jazz would have lost the series with Okur, but this decimates their chances of winning. Nuggets got a gift.

I can't think of a team in recent memory going into the POs this riddled with injuries to their core players. I feel bad for their fans as much as those of the Nugs, both of whom are being deprived of watching a real competition.
