Potential upset or the beginning of the Jokic playoffs show?

I got Denver here. But they are unproven and the Spurs could come through. We will see tho. I think Denver are the heavy favorites.

Denver in 7. I think this will be a good series.

Good part of Nuggets bench could start for Spurs, however its all about best players here. I'd still go with Denver with 5, possibly 6 games.

Spurs in 6. Experience matters in the playoffs. Spurs will slow the game down, and that doesn't suit Denver.

I’m going with the upset Spurs in 7, i think Pop would like to win at least one more series before retiring.

Spurs relegated to NBATV? Rough, anyway Denver in 6.

Role players play bad on the road in PO , their passing game wont work like in RS and Jokic always have meltdown when he don't get foul calls so they could choke , especially bc Popovich is better motivator and better in ingame adjustments and is ready to take technical to protect their stars or to flame fire in his players if he see they aren't passionate enough. I wouldn't be surprised if ends with Crazy Serbian Montenegrinian > Soft Fat Serbian as final result .

Nuggets sweep. Spurs don’t have the top end talent to carry Derozan when he goes into choke mode.

Like who?

Monte Morris
Mason Plumlee
For sure, case can be made for Beasley and Hernangomez if they can play significant minutes for them as well.

Pretty pathetic that you can’t accept that Pop says he’s a Serb, and that you can allow uourself to claim to know who he is better than he does.

Anyway, Nuggets in 4 or 5.

This series has the greatest first round upset possibility in the WC.

Pop's 22nd year in a row in the POs gives the Spurs a huge tactical edge even though talent-wise, they're at a pretty big disadvantage.

Denver in 7. Derozan chokefest.

Nuggets in 7. Spurs experience will help here, but I think the Nuggets' talent Gap is too much to overcome, assuming Jokic and co. don't fold under pressure. Could go either way tbh.

Denver is not good enough to sweep anyone out west that’s ridiculous

A vet system and coach upset a playoff unproven nervous Denver.

Nuggets in 7,

Call me crazy but I think the Spurs win this series. Just like every good team the Nuggets will go throw some growing pains, and Pop will continue to build on his legacy.

Who wins this series?
