The Wolves are the only team in the West that can give Denver a real series anyway. Not sure why they are the only ones to figure out that having more than one NBA big when you play in the same conference as Jokic might be a good idea but here we are.

The Thunder and healthy Clippers could give the Nuggets a real series as well.

Kawhi will never be healthy. Might play or might not but I would be shocked if he will ever be near 100%. And I feel OKC is just too experienced this year. But we shall see.

There is something with Anthony Edward’s game. I cannot exactly put my finger on it. Maybe “grace” is the right word. Whatever it is, it is something I haven’t seen much since Michael Jordan (and Kobe Bryant, to a much lesser degree).

I told siakam to take the 3. I get that he wasn't good this season but the playoffs make you up your focus, he can make them.

I may try to learn more about the game during the offseason...MAYBE. gotta convince my adhd to leave me alone. need to learn how to see more and understand what I already see.

KL would not have made LBJ less of the player he is but I fully believe he could have removed a couple of those chips had he stayed healthy. he choked away one to him at the line but I still think he could have made it tougher on the league and lbj.

One of the more entertaining playoffs in history.

That game winner by Jamal was unreal.

And AD sprawled on the Nuggets bench was just sad.

I can only assume building chemistry with siakim is part of it?
