    Denver almost lost that. Like how do you even try to make a basket? they have to foul you

    What were the Nuggets doing? Once you got the steal, you pull the ball out and make the Jazz foul. They were very lucky Conley’s shot rimmed out.

    Stupidity on all sides. Running a fast break up 2 with time dwindling? Not passing to Mitchell? Rockets are not alone in late game blunders, lol.

    Probably heat of the moment, instinct stuff. Saw they had a man advantage and they pushed.

    Best series by far. Most of the other series were ruined by injuries

    At least they have the excuse of being a young team.

    Seriously, what an idiotic decision after the big steal to go for the layup instead of killing the clock and waiting for them to foul you.

    Conley ended up getting a great look at the buzzer. Denver is very lucky that shot rattled out.

    I hate to say this. But I don't think Denver can beat the Clippers.

    Honestly . .. might have worked out better. . . . .. esp if they did not hit one of the free throws
    Everything was a scamble

    yea . . . .they should have worked the clock though

    Perhaps, but there’s no way Michael Malone didn’t tell the Nuggets exactly what to do if they got a defensive stop.

    Either way, it was dumb, and they were fortunate Conley’s three rimmed out.

    The problem with the jazz, Donovan, like most players like him, ball hog and goes 1 on 5, and Mike is way too deferral at this point in his career. Mike makes plays, but that Utah team had no chemistry. The best team won.

    Clippers still have issues. Underperforming defense, iso heavy offense, Playoff Pee.
