They Split the regular Season I am picking the Nuggets to win in 6 Looks like they each held home . . .. The Nuggets cannot let this go 7 Rocket River
I don't know if Jokic will have a great series here against Gobert and Towns. Slight chance of a repeat of Mavs vs Warriors from a while ago. Still, Nuggets in 6.
This has some upset potential. Not completely convinced of the Nuggets, they just aren't that intimidating of a team. Like if the Rockets were still in the playoffs I'd be more worried about the Suns or Clippers or Grizz. I do think they'll win, Jokic has had some amazing playoff series along with Murray but at the same time...I don't know. I'm rooting for them though, they are an overall likeable team.
Minnesota gonna have to blow up this squad bc of the stupid gobert trade. Traded all that sht just to b blown out currently in playoffs
Gob didnt even play 30 minutes and had by far the largest negative +/- Whatever GM made that trade will never get a job again after he is fired assuming he is still there.
I think they are legit. Second best +/- in the West behind Memphis, while playing at a low, half-court-oriented pace too.
Say what y'all want about the Nuggz but they are pretty solid, not overly flashy. The Suns, Clips have too much hazard to combust, or being combustible for my taste. It is either fireworks or just plain implosion. I liked what the Lakers did with their new additions, Vanderbilt, Hachimura, DLo, Beasley. Those are serviceable players plus Austin Reaves' ascension.
Watch Pieces would anyone want outside of Anthony? I think their whole squad are BUY LOW types Kat . .. . I AM NOT giving up anything premium for him Gobert?????? Seriously I'd Pay more for Capela Rocket River
Jaden McDaniels had a good season, looking like he'll be a nice roleplayer in the league for a long time.
Karl Anthony Towns is awful. For someone with so much talent, all he does is stand on the perimeter. He had Aaron Gordon guarding him all night and put up a stinker.
Jokic again almost with a triple double. Hasn't been "played off the court in the playoffs", as some of the "archetype" posters wanted to try to make us believe.
I knew Minny could play much better than game 1 and they might make it interesting if a few other players step up but... Let's be real here, long term the team is broken. They can do nothing about Gobert, that's a bed they'll have to sleep in but I think they really should see what they can get for KAT and start building around Ant because I doubt he's going to have much patience for that franchise.
