How many fans are active in the Denver forum? (Just asking because over at the Memphis board, where i once frequent but not anymore, there are like less than 10 active last time i looked ) Are there bigger Denver boards than their RealGM counterparts? (i know Grizz GM forum is not the "home" or biggest of the Grizz fans. Just asking since we want to congratulate you over there too!

They finally brought it home!!

For the haters complaining about Nuggets 8th, 4th, 7th & 8th PO run:
"Denver's title run included overcoming opponents who had combined 85 career All Star appearances. That is the most All Star selections ever beaten in a championship run in NBA history, surpassing the 2014 Spurs , whose opponents had a combined 81 All Star selections"

It was so great our players closed it tonight at home in front of full arena of cheering people. Doens´t happen to me that often but yes, I did have tears in my eyes watching that.

About the game, it was ugly and sloppy. On the other side, I absolutely loved all the facts about that win. Alle that hustle, grind, defense, toughnes, will, stamina, mental stenght. MPJ shot like crap for whole finals but this game, he put so much effort we wouldn´t win without him.

We were used to not being to win ugly. The mental change of this team is absolute. We were complaining a lot if refs sucked but now they just shake their heads and go on. And some of that calls (Gordon fouling Butler´s leg with his balls?) were really lame. I try to not focus on refs, they do have a tough job and I´ll admit there WERE some games in PO I felt we had the refs on our side.

But there is one ugly thing about this title and I think this is going to be my first ever thread created.

Cheers, RealGM.

This is for you.

Congrats!

After the series with the Wolves, I was pulling for them. It's great to see a true team working together the way the Nuggets have this season, and it may end the "small ball" trend in the league.

Class acts up and down the roster.

Yes. We have had more in the past but the years of losing before Malone and Jokic have taken a toll. Search online for other Denver boards.

Just take a look at the parade on Thursday, much better representation than this forum
