    Man, watching the Lakers fall apart is as good as watching the Warriors fans get eliminated last round.

    I've said this many times as well. A lost art.

    Screw Harden. Let's play like the Nuggets but with Defense. Let the team grow together with actual structure. Harden can kick rocks.

    Jokic was just out in his village at home working. That dude just happy to be playing the game he loves. I love stories like his.

    Just imagine if Harden had just done that. Think of how many legacies would have been vindicated.

    Harden vindicated.
    Cp3 Vindidated
    MDA Vindicated
    Morey Vindicated



    Harden just could not deliver when we needed him too. And whats worse is he absolutely had the ability too.

    He seems to get some weird as stage fright and zone out. Never has there been such a bipolar player. So good then forgets how to play.

    LeBron is set to make history... either positive or negative for his legacy

    Lakers will either become the first team to comeback down 0-3 (teams are currently 0-149 historically)... or they get swept

    There's no way after his awesome regular season (stat-wise at least) and AD healthy they should be down 0-3. Denver is good but they're not a juggernaut with their 53 wins this season

    Six games minimum is the only way Bron saves face. Five games is a blowout

    Jordan fans, unite. LeBron fans, run for cover

    Don't be surprised if the Lakers quit next game and get swept

    Even though Reaves is balling outta his mind and Davis has been impactful.

    To be fair though, he does have to deal with DLo being on his team, haha.

    I wonder if therapy would help him.

    Denver would have won last year if they were healthy.They ARE a juggernaut. Once Murray and Porter Jr got healthy...

    Based on the last few years, Denver gotta win the finals while they have a healthy team. You don't know if guys like Murray and MPJ will remain injury free within the next few years. Denver had went into too many playoffs without their complete team.

    Their record didn't reflect it

    Every top team had DNPs from key players

    I hope the Celtics and Nuggets make it to the final. Seems like it but have to wait and see. What a time line to be in. Two teams the NBA didn't want to win are likely to face each other. This is the way it should be.
