Denver is basically the best team right now and hilariously, raptors match up well vs them lol



Raptors only matched up well against the nuggets with nurse as coach.



I mostly agree, Nurse def brought his A game against some of these elite teams but we do have the players put on their top guys.

Didn't catch a second of this one, but Lbj dropped 40 and played all 48?! There aren't enough words to describe this guy's career. Even in a loss... wow.

Denver congrats. Great team. Would like to see Lowry win another one, plus the story of an 8th seed winning it all would be awesome, but Denver plays such great offensive basketball hard not to root for them and jokic.

Lol at people acting like regular season matchups mean anything in the playoffs. Denver is a better team than us period peoplethink we would win one game against them? Lmfao.

It's that time again!

The fred van vleet performance against Bulls which illicited meltdowns on this board:

26/12/8 on 22 shots

Jamal murray tonight:

25/3/5 on 18 shots.

THIS IS HOW WE PLAY THIS STUPID GAME.

Right. Fred and Murray are pretty much interchangeable. Put Fred on Denver and they'd be rolling just as well as now

So happy for Jokic. Truly a transcendent player. Should have been mvp over embiid.

He already won 2. There was a time lebron couldve won it every single year. Same with jordan I don't think it really should mean much. It's a regular season award and embiid put up good numbers. I mean kawhi barely played for us, but it was obvious how much of a difference he made to our team and we won the championship with him and no one cares he's never won regular season mvp. Not sure why this is still a talking point tbh.

I find it hilarious that LeBron plays in an easier era, with more medical advancements to prolong a career, he's played with hall of famers or potential hall of famers in Kyrie, AD, Russ, Kevin Love, Ben Wallace, Shaq, Ray Allen, Chris Bosh, D-Wade, and strong role players. Now Lakers fans and LeBron fans are butt hurt he got swept, LeBron is no GOAT. He was just fortunate to play in a weak eastern conference when he entered his prime. Now father time is creeping up and just like Tom Brady and other greats, LeBron will have to walk away from the game. I won't miss LeBron with his flopping, acting, super team build up. I'm sure LeBron won't 20+ years to release a doc on his career. He'll release a doc in less than 10 yrs after he retires and it will be cringe because LeBron will try to hire the best directors to fluff up his story book career as the GOAT. MJ proved it on the court. I don't care whoever reads this and disagree. LeBron fans go based on he's 6 ft 9, 250+, you put LeBron in MJ's frame of 6'6, 220+, LeBron wouldn't dominate the game like MJ did at that height. Can't wait til LeBron retires, good riddance, oh ya LeSwepttttt, Denver beats LA 4-0.

Why are people entertaining the blatant trolling at this point. Read my sig.

In the end, he missed the final shot, LeBron has never been a good closer.

Damn, the league must be hating this outcome. LA vs Boston finals would have been a cash cow for them. Heat vs Nuggets is not going to have good ratings. However, as a basketball fan, I'm loving this outcome.

Not this current bish ass raptors team but if they actually had a will to play together and win along with their coach they would have won at least a game. Anyways, I'd rather not talk about the pathetic raptor team it's embarrassing saying im their fan. They don't respect themselves.

Masai and bobby better fix this.

I'm happy for Jamal Murray and their coach hope they win it all. I don't mind if Lowry wins but doubt they'll beat Denver.

jamal averaged 32 shooting over 50% on the series :lol:. And when jamal pounds the rock at least you can be confident your gonna get a decent shots, fred does it and you don't know what the **** your gonna get, probably a contested 3 or a shot blocked at the rim. jesus christ.

Only 14 turnovers between both teams tonight.

I don't like to complain about refs but Jesus christ the refs this series especially the last two games were doing everything in their power besides putting on lakers jerseys trying to make the Nuggets lose. Glad they didn't fold and won the series.

Imagine comparing FVV and Murray in 1 game, yet ignore their shooting %:

FVV 36.4%
Murray 55.6%

Fred shot better than 55.6% only 3 times in 70 games this year. Maybe we want him to be efficient?
