Beat LA.
Die laker scum.
Light the beam.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm super conflicted. My heart says Nuggets, because I want to see Malone win (I'm ambivalent about the players themselves, except for the fact that a Nuggets championship could mean the first time for big man to win Finals MVP since Duncan). I feel like the smart money is on the Nuggets, too... But also, I want to see a lakers/Heat Finals, just so that all of the "asterisk" people have to eat s***.

Nuggets 6 days a week and twice on Sundays.

Yep. And now to hope we are wrong hahaha. Put a little reverse jinx magic in the air.

 

[serbiangoat]

Jokic is about to get the Sabonis vs GSW treatment from the refs.

 

[kingdivac]

Go Nuggets (for this series)

 

[kingdivac]

So much for Laker plans for game 1 Lakers are gettin blown out.

 

[fansinceday1]

Nuggets are just on a different level.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Jokic so good

 

[Kingz19]

Joker carving them up

 

[iowamcnabb]

14 rebounds in 13 minutes is pritay pritay good

 

[kingdivac]

Reeves a defensive liability - getting abused by Murray

 

[coolhandluke]

Jokic is from another planet. Ridiculous!

 

[kingsboi]

Jokic shooting 12-15? that fresh haircut must of gave him extra juice

 

[kingsboi]

and just like that...we have ourselves a game

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Reeves is a solid valuable player. High IQ and a good consistent shooter

 

[captain bill]

Is it just me or does this Denver crowd seem relatively subdued?

 

[The_Jamal]

Jokic is from another planet. Ridiculous!

Embiid voters in shambles. What a travesty they robbed him of MVP

 

[kingsboi]

Reeves shooting like Klay tonight

 

[SLAB]

Ugly final possessions for the Lakers.

 

[dude12]

Suck it Lakers

 

[kingdivac]

James is no savior when comes to needed scoring. Muffed FTs and 3pt shots.

Found it interesting to see Rui Hachimura on Jokic at the end and Davis just hovering the paint.

It seemed to have been working.

Have teams done that against Jokic with success?

Basically going small on him and staying home in the paint for his drives

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I really thought Denver was going to blow it until LeBron started taking 3s.

I counted 3 possessions where he should have been called for defensive 3 seconds

 

[LoungeLizard]

What’s this? Denver has a DPOG chain?!

 

[Ozymandias]

D'Angelo Russell is gonna have to play a lot better than that if their gonna make this series competitive.

 

[iowamcnabb]

What’s this? Denver has a DPOG chain?!

Jordy took the idea from his time there
