    They fronted Yao and the guards didn't know what to do, LMAO!!. Yao was 9ft tall!

    Yao was yelling at these guys to swing the ball for a better angle and still they were confused.

    post feeds is not rocket science!

    They nerfed Jokic and the Denver team didn't bat an eye.

    I have always said thats why post play has disappeared from the modern game is because guards don't know how to feed the post anymore.

    I know i keep bringing harden into this. i apologize.

    with an almost guaranteed spot in the finals and all you have to do is win one game.. harden would fold.. he would absolutely fold and we would all wonder if he was drunk.

    Jokic wasn't good but still was the one killed the Lakers. Dude's not just legenday he's also clutch. Frighteningly good man.

    I'm contemplating buying a finals ticket to watch a finals game. When can I have that hope with the Rockets? Nuggets are a fun ass team to watch. Hopefully Miami finishes the job on the other side because I also enjoy the way they play.

    lol i know Im annoying, but it must be said: harden would have beat all the allegation if he didn't nut up when it mattered most.

    Jokic out here beating all the allegations. he is taking his legacy in his hands.

    Jokic doing this against the Lakers and they were cheating. no crying. just hoop.

    Such a likeable team the Nuggets are. No showboating. Just a bunch of good dudes who play the right way

    Denver- Bos would intrigue me for about 2 games.. Den- Mia would ensure I get good sleep on game nights.. But I'm happy for Denver

    Jokic has always been a competitor. These last MVP years he just hasn't had a healthy team. He finally had a healthy team and had depth. It's their year.

    AD had a great game. LeBron had a typical LeBron game. Reaves went off.

    Murray was good for 3 quarters. Jokic was good for only the last quarter. And the Nuggets are 1 win away from a Finals berth.

    I don't think LeBron wants to get swept, so I'd imagine the series ends in 5.

    If Jokic wins it, I don't mind. Same with Butler. Both worked hard to get there. But I would much rather Lebron won it because he's a story that will live on forever. The rest of these guys very unlikely to have any long lasting legacy in the league.

    We should start hearing that Lebron doesn't have any help any second now.
