    Yet the admin has a 60 percentage confidence level that Sengün would be traded.

    That is how much support he gets around here.

    People think I'm joking when I say trade up to get Amen, that kid is special. I feel like the dude from AIR when he saw Jordan... I see it, he going to be the best player in the draft...

    Don't care what anyone says, Lowry is still a solid player at age 37. Can't believe he can still push the pace like that, at altitude no less.

    Nuggets shot worse than the Heat from 3, Jokic only had 5 shot attempts heading into the 4th and it didn't feel like he even tried to play basketball, yet ended up with a ridiculous TD statline.

    If Jimmy plays this casually for the rest of the series, it's not even Nuggets in 4. It's Nuggets in 3.

    Miami 3P% in first half of game 1.........24%
    Miami 3P% in second half gm 1............41%

    Denver ended up at 29% from 3 for the game.

    Took Miami longer to get acclimated to Denver altitude than I liked.

    On to game two....round 1 of a boxing match is often a feeling
    out process. Same with game 1 of a 7 game series.

    Biggest difference imo was Aaron Gordon being aggressive early
    and attacking Vincent. Gordon finished at 70% (FG%).....0% from 3

    When you don't really run a PG....no need to have a 6'3" guy ( in Vincent) out there
    with the starters.

    What does the finals have to do with ECF MVP?? Caleb was very deserving of the ECF MVP. Right now, he isn't deserving of the Finals MVP.

    For those wondering who they don't get past:
    The KD Warriors
    The Prime Heatles
    And The better Shaq and Kobe Lakers and TD Spurs

    so about 7 of the last 20 champions.

    Though the '04 Pistons would be a nightmare matchup, and something I wish we had a time machine to see.

    The Heat are like snow white and the seven dwarfs. There's Butler and bunch of B-C-D level players. They should build a statue of Spo there this team has absolutely no business being in the finals. Caleb Martin, Gabe, Strus, Duncan these dudes can't do sh*t if they can't make 3s. Gordon bullied Caleb Martin.

    I don’t see anyone else winning an NBA championship as long as Denver can keep this crew together. Joker is just toying with opponents. His teammates know how to play off him, too. It’s beautiful basketball and, for a Rockets fan, depressing.

    He is similar to Tucker.

    People who don't appreciate actual high IQ basketball players think they're trash because they see low points.

    No coincidence they happen to just make plays for winning teams... and winning teams always want them.

    Eh, they're so consistently wrong that clowning them is starting to lose its luster. Apache genuinely believes the height of Denver takes a variable amount of in game time to adjust to.

    At what point is it just, not even fun anymore?
