Mea culpa, I though Denver would coast.

Minny is playing unreal.

Is it too early to stick a fork in Denver?!

I thought this would be an intense and close series but that Denver would prevail in 6 or 7. But it looks like a sweep if Denver don’t get their **** together asap :lol:

It's gonna be super f*cking annoying when Jokic still wins MVP again next year despite getting swept in the 2nd round

Too early. But the cooktop is starting to boil.

If they lose this series, he’ll get the Giannis treatment. No more MVP’s. No more Mr. Invincible.

Media will be on to Ant as the greatest since Jordan.

watching the Knicks play defense against Indy shows me how far we need to go as a unit defensively. sure, if we could somehow get a guy on the level of OG or Caruso, that would help tremendously. but one guy isn't going to solve everything. we need an overhaul.

For better or worse this is where Giannis would take it upon himself to get his team back into it. Be interesting to see how aggressive Jokic gets here. Him and Murray have been a little bit rattled so far.

I liked Naz Reid 3 years ago, but never thought he'd turn into this. Would kill that for dude to be a Buck.

"This was going in too" he says as the replay shows the ball completely out of the cylinder.

100%. Jokic has deserved his praise to date IMO, but he's not a big enough market - or a market-able enough star - to escape the **** Giannis has gotten. Media is going to find their next guy...and they already have.

Idk if it’s a hot take but I feel like Jamal Murray should maybe be suspended. You can’t throw **** from the bench onto the court, especially in the middle of live play. The fact that he didn’t even receive a technical is absolutely crazy to me.

This like us against Boston in 2019. Every player on that roster is now self-actualizing. It’s an amazing sight to see.

Just good to know someone might be able to manhandle Boston in the Finals.

Is Denver getting knocked out good for Boston? Feels like the Wolves are a much better matchup for Boston. Then again, Minny is destroying everyone in their path so far.

Wasn't watching. Did they think it was an accident or something?

blazza18 · Post #217 » by **blazza18** » Tue May 7, 2024 3:14 am

It was Jamal Murray who threw the heat pack on the court. Wonder if they retroactively give him a T? Or just fine him tomorrow?

Wolves gonna **** around and win a championship

I honestly have no idea. The ref ended up stopping play and seemed to look at the bench but just didn’t do anything. Likewise when Michael Malone came running onto the court to scream in the same ref’s face.

Denver has just completely given up at home with 19 minutes to paly. They might not win a game this series.
