    I’m dumber for having read this. Again, we have to endumbest fan base in sports. And some still don’t get our shortcomings after reality showed it’s face

    Exactly, they barely mention the Rockets' accomplishment as is. Plus, Jokic winning is the next step on the gradual beat down of Sengun haters as he grows into a future league star and Rockets NBA cham.

    On paper Denver but who knows. The Heats has been overachievers during the playoffs.

    Nuggets in 5. Denver is a bad matchup for Miami in terms of size, and they have more firepower than Milwaukee, NYK and Boston, and they are better coached than any of those teams. The Heat have overachieved and have had an impressive playoff run, but I think they'll get a reality check in the Finals. I'll give Miami one game due to Butler exploding for 40+, but that's it.

    ya, jordan/curry/jokic/magic, you can easily put him at #1 on offense

    Claims Jokic is the best offensive player ever…. Proceeds to list 3 other guys along with him. Man you Harden fanbois are dumber than a box of rocks.

    Speaking of which where Jim at on your list?



    Moreyyy Nooo!

    Absolute joke. Even mentioning Harden in the same sentence with Jordan is just wrong.

    It’s common sense but finding some obscure cherry picked vullshit can help you sell a lie. When reality clearly rejects it they still don’t get it

    Lol I was on the rockets subreddit. There were some guys that thought harden was on Kobe level a few years back. No one in their right mind will think such a thing. I think there were guys on here too that thought they were on the same level. Imagine comparing him to Jordan. It’s just frustrating to watch him keep attempting 3’s when it’s not his night. I actually like him this year when he did jumpers and they were going in too. Wonder why he never work on the jumper or tried it more often while he was in Houston.

    I think Denver can generate much more consistent offense than Miami (or Boston, the team that Miami intermittently choked off) and their defense is good enough to manage against a (generally) not-great Miami offense.

    But, of course, hot shooting is the great equalizer and if Martin and Vincent and gang are shooting 50%+ from three this series or something ridiculous, they have a puncher's chance. I'd bet on Denver, if I were betting, but one more sizzling series from Miami could get them all the way to a title. Denver's not unbeatable by any means.
