    Sengun wasn't better, but he wasn't handed the keys like Jokic was, either.

    Also, he had an imbecile as his coach.

    The Nuggets are now reaping what they sowed when they committed to Nikola Jokic in February 2017, when they traded Jusuf Nurkic away and started building around Jokic.

    This will be 5 straight seasons with a different champion.Growing up watching the NBA, it was pretty much powerhouse handing off to powerhouse. The league hasn't seen parity like this since the 70's.

    As somebody who doesn't have much faith in our franchise right now, I think building a title contender now is easier than it has been for a long time.

    Not me!
    I DON'T wanna see Miami get a chip this year.

    Firstly I don't want to see a lower seed than our 2nd championship team (6th seed) win it!

    Secondly I'd like to see Joker get a ring, and Denver, though it doesn't matter really that much, well, their fanbase has never had a title celebration before so I wouldn't mind seeing them get one as well.

    Thirdly Jimmy Butler who spurned the Rockets back when we could/would have won a chip with him, well, the penalty for that is to go RINGLESS I say!
    Good day sir!


    Unfortunately I looked it up and though the Nugs went 2-0 against the Heat this year it was 2 close games, 124-119 and 112-108 so we may get a good series or even a Heat victory.

    Lebron post game sounded like he's ready to go to team up elsewhere. Ask for a trade back to Cleveland or Miami or to spit in LA's face -Boston. He knows the East is just easier and more open. LeTeamup in the LeAstern Conference

    The Lebron age has finished. It is now time for the next generation to standup and for lebron to take a back seat.

    Impressive win by the Nuggets. They never panicked. Just calmly, methodically kicked the Laker's ass. Warriors out. Lakers out. 2 down, 1 to go.

    Just can't see Miami beating Nuggets. Jokic is so good it's unfair.

    You are right, I got a little carried away. Sengun is still the closest you are going to get to Jokic thou, I'll take it...
