    Wow what a series, kudos to the Jazz for not hanging their heads. Denver almost blew that. Jokic came up BIG!!! So happy this time they managed to complete the comeback, though wish in 1994 they had managed to. That series would've been epic against our Rockets since all those games except one were close and they were 3-2 against us that year.

    Anyway, several guys stepped up and a total team effort by Denver while Jazz relied too much on two guys. We need that tonight from our guys, not Harden trying to get 40 like Donovan. Murray showed maturity by letting the game come to him and just let other guys go to work when he wasn't feeling it, like his big man Jokic. Unfortunately Harden cannot afford that luxury since we have a strategy that doesn't allow for easy shots. Imagine House and RoCo playing for the Nuggets, they would get a ton of opportunities at the basket.

    Denver can definitely make it hard for LA in my opinion, but winning the series, not so much. Still, you never know, Celtics have the Raptors on the ropes and Heat might just beat the **** out of the Bucks.

    Nice. hehe. Nuggets were favored, but few thought the series would get this close. I had them in 6.

    Utah tanked their seeding to avoid Rockets, the fact that they could get close to Nuggets, they probably content with that decision even in hindishgt.

    OKC is a problem match up for us, beatable but problematic.

    If we had UTAH, DENVER, or even the Lakers, would have been much better for us.
