I've got the Nuggets. It seems like this is their year. Jokic is on another level than anyone else in the NBA at the moment.

What a great storyline it would be if LeBron can win one last championship.

I'm worried the NBA is gonna be against Jokic and Denver like they did to Sacramento in the early 2000's.

I mean it's proven they did it against Sacramento and the setup here is similar.

It won't be easy at this point. But no way Nuggets will lose this.

Nuggets in 6.

Denver is tough at home I think if it goes 7 that favors Den, but I can see Lakers in 6

Bubble rematch!

There's like 2 players left that can play Jokic 1 on 1 and not get trashed. AD is one of them, Embiid is the other

Looking forward to people who have watched 1.5 Nuggets games this year screaming "look at 2020!". That argument is probably going to age as well as "look at 2021!" did when those same people picked the Suns.

The Lakers beat Denver twice with Westbrick on the team and they are like ten times better now.
