Not going to end well for them at all

Celtics will have home court which will make the finals interesting. Heat in the finals means Nuggets win the title without facing and eliminating any great team. Their hardest series would be against a depleted Suns team.

A ring is a ring.

Suns fans doing what other fans did during the finals run is gross. You play who you play, injuries, record, anything else, doesn't matter. Weird energy trying to discredit a team for doing its job.

While ring is a ring especially as neutral fan I'd like to see a battle otherwise I don't have much interest in watching the finals. If they go six competitive games like Suns Bucks series nobody will discredit anything. If Heat are tired, Butler injured and MIA gets swept, the ring weights less. It won't be that memorable. Same if Suns won in '21 if Giannis didn't recover from the injury.

I agree 100% hypocrites!

Our best chance to win a ring in this franchises existence was going up 2-0 on bucks are screwing that up!

That may be the closest to a ring we see in the next 10 years

Um how many fans are poo pooing a potential Nuggets ring? It just won't be a very competitive series if the Heat banged up as they are advance and I feel they might just get bounced in 5 games which is not that entertaining to watch.

Boston will probably fare better although personally I am rooting for Miami.

CP3 was 0 - something so I assume Heat are in the finals.

Absolutely loving the beating Miami is giving Boston.
Happy we won't have to hear about the 'hero' play of Tatum with the ankle turn. If Booker's play the final 2 games of the series with Denver isn't being at least somewhat recognized due to his ankle injury, then neither should Tatum's game tonight.

Also loving all of those people who said "I said Boston will come back from 3-0 down after this that and the other thing happened".
Well, you were ALL wrong. Your team didn't even come to play tonight.

I like the idea of a new champion, but I think I'm going to root for Miami too. Great story.
I could see them stealing one in Denver. Maybe even game 1 considering the long break Denver had.

In the end, I think Denver takes this in 5 or 6 but maybe Miami can finish the job.

Kinda funny the Larry Bird trophy goes to an opposing player on the floor in Boston.

Boston taking a page out of our playoff playbook. Kind of a gutless chuckfest they threw out there. They were hardly in that game.

It ought to prompt some moves. Get on it Ghost.

Tatum, Booker and Brown are still pretty young but fans expectations are just unrealistic and expect them to win a championship at age 25 or younger when historically most superstars are a bit older when they win a ring.

I think the trend of superteams that LBJ started in Miami as well as the KD led Warriors have kind of spoiled NBA fans who now judge everything by how many rings you won but they don't realize just how hard it is to actually win a ring unless you're on one of the absolutely stacked teams led by one or more HOF superstars. This is what led to Ishbia trading Mikail and Cam and giving up on our young core by trying to buy a championship & could be our downfall if KD doesn't stay healthy next season.

We're guaranteed to get our 5th different champion in 5 years. First time that's happened since the late 70s/early 80s. We're in the parity era.

If Denver wins it will be the first time since the pre KD warriors that a champs 2 best players are home grown. (Wiggins was the second best warrior in last year's finals).

Let's Go Nuggets! I hope they sweep the Heat!

I maintain that Quinn would've been the right choice for our team. Oh well, hopefully we hire Fitz as an assistant, he also learned under Spo and probably still has connections to the Heat.
