I thought the nuggets were cooked. Guess not.

Why isn't there an Around the NBA Part 4 thread? Waiting for a new spam champ? Only leading by a dozen or so posts now.

Luka vs. Tat

Kyrie vs. the city of Boston

The drama!

That is the most favorable matchup for us actually. Lets go Mavs lol.

OKC haven’t been anywhere near as good away from home and showing more vulnerability now too.

Okc is the weakest remaining from the west i agree. I just don’t think they get past the mavs. Although luka has been dealing with soreness on both knees.

Even last season all the Nuggets vs. Celtics games were close.

So if it's Denver vs. Boston in June, almost all the games will be close.

It's just too hard to blowout the Nuggets.

We can if we shoot lights out from 3. Both games came down the last minute, with JT and the team in general, shot poorly from 3. They shot 31 and 29%. If we shoot a good precentage, we blow them out. We just need that for 4 games.

I think Cs can shoot lights out in a 7-game series for 2 games.

Just like what happened in 2022, against GSW.

We don’t have marcus smart anymore to brick all the shots in the 4th.

SGA's game is fishing for fouls, just not made for the playoffs. His rim % taking a plunge now that defenders can play defense.

Haven't seen any of this series at all, but statistically looks totally fine to me - 31/10/8/3 with pretty mid efficiency. Looks like Homgren/Williams/Giddy are the ones struggling a bit, which is to be expected at their age.

Wouldn't surprise me if they come back and take the series, Dallas is over-rated.

It's sad that the game has been reduced to who makes the most threes. But I don't care, I just want to win. Bomb away, Cs.

I think the Cs can beat Denver in a conventional game as long as the Cs don't play dumb.

The key to beating Denver is not forcing shots and not turning the ball over.

KP needs to be healthy. or else 3 ball is the way.

No way we beat Denver without KP.

Cs have won 9 of their last 11 road playoff games. They just need to win more of their home games.

I don't think we need to lock threads at 100 pages anymore. Years ago if threads got too big it would put pressure on the servers and the site would glitch out. But it seems to be fine now. On the GB some of the playoff series threads have gone to 300 or 400 pages and everything is fine.

Can’t blame anyone for thinking that. They got glassed twice at home and did not at all have the disposition is a championship team. Games one and two were as frustrated as I may have ever seen a team.

Reminds me of the time Vitaly Potapenko dunked.

Years ago I noticed a thread in the Off-Topic area going to 100s of posts without apparent incident.

It may have been the Game of Thrones thread.

I would still like my Wall of Shame plaque of appreciation so I can hang it on my wall for my grandkids to see someday, thank you very much.
