    Jokic for MVP seems safer.

    Been pleasantly surprised that there has been minimal involvement from the officials this series .

    They had a couple of key injections in the 4th though to try and get Miami over the line but woweeee did the Heat blow their chance by only managing to get a single point back with Jokic benched for the 5:15.

    The gentleman sweep as predicted is looking like a good bet. Shame I didn't have money on it.

    This gotta be up there with the most talentless finals of all time. The heat are dog ****. Their role players just went on a brazy streak to carry them the first 3 series

    The nba in general is so devoid of talent and great teams right now. The nuggets won 53 games against the sorriest western conference in 2 decades

    That means the Rockets could go from the worst team in the league to one of the best this season or next as long as the right moves are made.

    Making the Finals. So easy a bearded bum loser could do it.

    Conference Finals. So easy Harden hasn’t been out of the 2nd round in 5 straight seasons.

    You waited for the Nuggets to go up 3-1 to shade the Heat? Meanwhile your loser bum hero has been on vacation for the last month.

    Probably I might make it
    I honestly think that he THREW it on purpose this year
    In Hindsight (Not that Embiid did not deserve it. . he totally did . . and probably should have won it if Jokic continued at his level)
    Next year he might not get the number of games
    Sit out until he at 64

    Dafuq are you on about? The Heat beat 58 win Bucks and 57 win Celtics… the same Celtics team Harden couldn’t close out because he shot 4-16 with 5 turnovers in game 6 and 3-11 with 5 more turnovers in game 7 while being a -30.

    The Heat also closed out ~{James Harden’s Philadelphia 76ers}~ lol last year while Butler put on an absolute clinic and Harden was being the sorry ass bum he is….. go figure.

    While teams lack star power they make it up with a lot of mid tier to above mid tier talent namely borderline All Stars.

    Meaning you could go either path, way up or stay below average because everyone has similar records.

    Other than Jeff Green, the Nuggets lacked that 6th man star power on the bench to power them through the regular season but it does not matter in the Playoffs.

    Butler is not that guy, glad everyone can now see that. He's not a go-to guy who can just put team on his shoulder for more than the occasional game.
    If MPJ played up to his potential this series would've been over already. He really needs to be better. But it's go to see role players step up for Denver and still have such dominant games from Jokic & Murray, so people can stop the nonsense about Joker in particular. Vindication is upon us.

    Hahaha. Had to actually click on "show ignored content." At least I know I'm not missing anything new.

    On topic, looks like the ref decisions show the L conceding this to the Nuggets tonight. Hope they wrap it up and that Jokic has a monster game.
