While yelling at Foster about a call at the same time...

If this was Paul he probably gets tossed.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Nuggets have 5 excellent starters and 3 others off the bench but they are 15 deep if they wanted to go that direction.

 

[95pro]

Geez the Lakers get so many calls.

 

[Mainstreet]

Lebron give Green a shoulder and all is good.

 

[Mainstreet]

Too bad the Nuggets used up their challenge on that blocked shot.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Nuggets are a different team with Jokic in the game. He runs their offense.

 

[Dback Jon]

Should’ve been a tech on James

 

[Phrazbit]

Schroder might be the most shameless flop artist in the NBA.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Nuggets GM did an excellent job of assembling this roster. It's literally 15 deep.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jokic makes the game look easy.

 

[Phrazbit]

I don't know why the Lakers stopped letting Reaves even touch the ball, but I am glad they did.

Jones should take notes

Jones should take notes

I hope Mat Ishbia is taking notes.

He should take a long look at the Nuggets roster and compare it to the Suns roster.

The only drama left in this series is if the Lakers get swept or lose in 5.

Could not be clearer that LBJ is not an elite player anymore. He's okay. But he can't take over a game like about maybe 8 or 10 other players have in these playoffs.

 

[Phrazbit]

The lower half of the West bracket was trash.

Grizzlies were imploding, the Kings gagged, Warriors can't defend and their stars showed their mileage and the Lakers are who we thought they were.

 

[ajcardfan]

LBJ and Schroeder doing their best Buddy Ryan imitation.

 

[nashman]

glad Denver overcame the crooked refs and executed and took them down!

 

[Dback Jon]

Suns second best team in the west, likely in the NBA

 

[Phrazbit]

Refs were like "come on guys, we can only do so much!"

That run of calls to get the Lakers back in the game was atrocious.

Jones should take notes

Bruce Brown and Shamet were both on the Nets, but JJ chose Shamet.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Certainly not as satisfying as a Suns post season win… but this ain’t too bad.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bruce Brown and Shamet were both on the Nets, but JJ chose Shamet.

The Nuggets core was put together by a previous GM but it is amazing what Calvin Booth has done.

Nuggets sign GM Booth to multiyear extension

The Nuggets signed GM Calvin Booth, who took over the front office after the departure of Tim Connelly this summer, to a multiyear extension.

After playing Booker and Durant, the Lakers must feel like a bit of a breather before the Finals for Denver.

 

[Hoop Head]

The only drama left in this series is if the Lakers get swept or lose in 5.

Could not be clearer that LBJ is not an elite player anymore. He's okay. But he can't take over a game like about maybe 8 or 10 other players have in these playoffs.

I remember saying something similar late in the season and getting pushback because even though his numbers were good, they were empty stats. LeBron isn't a top 10 player anymore. He is still good but he's no longer a #1 on a team and is probably somewhere between 15-25 in the league. Who knows how he looks next year. I think he'll coast until his kid can be drafted and then retire after his son's rookie year is complete.

The Denver Nuggets are really going to win a championship before the Phoenix Suns.
