I’m in love with Fox and Monk

Nuggets/Kings are a joy to watch.

I think they’d beat us in 6 or so, but that would be a fun series. Hopefully it would be a western conference final I’m wishing for that

Jokic played 38 minutes and was a +13 in those minutes...Denver loses by 6. Such a typical Nuggets game.

MPJ/Murray combined 66m on the payroll. Nuggets are lucky if they both play more than half the season

The Nuggets played a pretty good game overall after a second night of a b2b, 5 games in 7 nights while the King had 3 days rest coming into this game.

No Jamal Murray and they still could've won it.

King played electrifying basketball and they had to earn the win.

Facts. Back to backs are just dumb, I’m sorry. No excuse, but I’m fairly certain it’s one of the main reasons the Clippers spanked the Kings the other day. They may have still beaten the Kings of course, but, after coming back down from 24 to warriors less than 24 hours before that, there was just no way they weren’t going to be exhausted. The league needs to abolish all of these back to back games and make that a rare occasion type of thing IMO.

Kayte Christensen is insufferable

Some of my favorite gems from her this year:

“You know if the Kings want to win this game they’ll need to start scoring.”

“The Kings lost because the other team scored more.”

“This was a great game for the Kings” - in a game where we lost by 30.

Watching the game silent is more exciting than listening to her

She knows her stuff IMO and is very very good. Yea, every now and then she’ll say something cringe but i can’t think of a single announcer that doesn’t - especially after speaking for nearly 3 hours each night. For every basic thing she’s said, I’m not sure why some fans never acknowledge her actual analysis. She knows the game. Period.

I only saw a couple games in last years finals but Jokic was carrying HARD offensively for a couple of those W's.

Miami should have closed Denver out from what I was seeing since Butler decided to not attempt layups even though he was getting easy looks

One of the strangest games ive ever seen from my time watching the nBA. Yes Denver won the chip but it was hardly convincing.

MPJ is a non-factor most nights.

16-4 is not convincing

Lets see.

Minnesota? They were missing a key defender and still made it a tough series.
PHX? No CP3
LAL: Was a close series despite the sweep.
Miami: It seemed like Miami threw the series considering no one was slowing Butler down.

Lmao

It's funny how the Magic own the Celtics, the Celtics own the Nets, and the Nets own the Magic. It actually caused a 3-way tie in their IST group and continues in non-tournament games.

Who wins a 3-team battle royale?

So basically every series Denver won was because the other team gave it to them?

Just watched the end of the clipper/warriors game. Curry really passed it to draymond for a 3 for the last shot of the game
