Playoffs 2021, Game 6: Denver Nuggets (3) @ Portland Trail Blazers (2) - 8:00PM

Good game Nuggets fans! I thought for certain Blazers were gonna win it cause of you guys missing your 3 lead guards pretty much. But you guys just played better. Jokic is too good, I remember meeting him very briefly in Portland a few years back, and I just love watching his game. Best of luck in the next round, and I hope you guys can go deep into the playoffs!

Finally! No more game 7s. I feel like this is a statement game and possibly turning point for the franchise. This was a monumental win in every way. Monte Morris was amazing and JaMychal Green saved his best game of the playoffs for game 6.

Portland imploded under pressure, after all, they are in do or done position today, so they scored 33+35+33 points in the first three quarters but only 14 in the 4th which was obviously fatal for their 2021 postseason. Porter was scoreless in 2nd half, but Jokic turned into MVP level, the defense was way better, Morris was x-factor again from the bench (Green near double-double also energized team), and Portland's 4th quarter collapse makes the happy end of this series in 6 despite we being broken already in game 1. Jokic 36-8-6 maybe looks nothing so special for his 2021 standards, but scoring 36 points after finishing 1st quarter scoreless is an epic achievement, especially for a game of this importance. Joker finishing this game with just 3 fouls, Malone should stop treating him like he is still some inexperienced Euro rookie, he learned how to protect himself from the foul troubles. If MPJ didn't have that awesome 1st quarter sitting Jokic early because of 2nd foul would be probably fatal for the Nuggets today. And that 1st quarter was everything you need to know about MPJ potential and talent.

Looking like we won't have to play the Lakers, Suns blowing them out

BTW, seems AD and Lakers are done... we have a historic opportunity to take the maiden Western Conference title... but unfortunately, I can't see how we can beat teams like the Nets or even Bucks or healthy Sixers without Jamal Murray.

Congratulations to us! Bout time we avenge that painful loss to the Blazers 2 years ago. Guess I was wrong that I preferred DAL over POR in the 1st round.

Nuggets can just never catch a break. The year the Lakers get eliminated in the first round, is also the same year Jamal Murray tears his ACL.

But, I have a lot of confidence in this team after game 6. They can use that Jokic-Morris 2-man game down the stretch to score consistently.

Let's look on the bright side--just playing in the finals this year would be a great experience for this team to roll into the next season or three with championship confidence.
