Oh, you left out they didn't have a selfish immature idiot on their team who got kicked out of the bubble in the middle of the series.
Kawhi Leonard has screwed over the Lakers in so many ways. Paul George is a fraud and has been a fraud. He is approaching carmelo level. Although Carmelo played great this year.
Paul George should have stayed in OKC and then Westbrook would have never been available for a trade. He started this whole thing and now we’re stuck with Russ.
I have always believed that the Nuggets would never do anything with the joker as their main guy (dont like his "extras" and too slow for today's modern NBA) but they are getting it done. I will be rooting for them going forward but if the Lakers play like they did against us, pulling out their small ball and role players playing above their level, then it will be tough for the Nuggets to stay in the bubble.
Disagree. No one is slander proof. Kawhi won his first ring as a role player. He then won his second title against an injured Golden Stats. LOOOOL he blew a 3-1 lead, AND HE WENT 6-22....yea....that is not slander proof. And here is another tid bit......this isnt the first game he's played like ass against the Nuggets too.
This may happen, the Clippers don't have the personnel to make 3's either so it's perfect for Danandtony.
Not in the bubble. Too much crap happened. They wanted to leave. I love that people are using the word slander in this way. Never knew it was a thing.
I just want to talk more about the Nuggets. Jokic I never thought that dude would be capable of this, always had skill, I hope he teaches the league that having great big men that work through the post is still possible. Murray is clutch as **** The rest of those dudes? What can I say, athletic, hustle guys, can shoot, that's a hard team to beat right now. Also, you can tell they are going to ride or die for their coach and believe in his decisions...and that young kid Porter has a bright future.
The only move the rockets have at this point is to trade james harden to the Knicks and get some draft capital. What else can they do?
