Denver: all starters about to hit double double scoring. No one above 24 (Jokic)

They are title contenders, if there's still doubt about their status.

Damn blown out two years in a row in elimination games. I don't know how you move on from that. If they didn't just add KD, I would have said they should have some big changes/blow it up

Why do you say that out of curiosity? I hear it said a lot. Just the way he acts on the court? He doesn't bother me for some reason

Are they moving on from Chris Paul after this year? What's his contract status?

And the Denver Nuggets are back in the WCF. Joker has gotten there twice now.

It's hard to like Booker. He is fouled on every play and he has never committed a foul.

Olajuwan 93-94 was close with aging Otis Thorpe as his second man

he had more than 1 guy , did not count

Landale is +5, for 11 points, 4-4 field goals, 3-4 free throws, and no other Suns player has a positive!

Can we all agree that ESPN is the absolute worst broadcaster of NBA basketball? I watch games every night, all season long, and I'm familiar with every damn local broadcasting team. They are all better.

ESPN cannot wait to cut to commercial, and the play by play is terrible. Just terrible.

Good. Jokic vs Steph is better.

I think deep down Suns knew they had no shot in game 7 in altitude playing heavy minutes. They looked kind of broken in the 2nd half of game 5. At least that’s the story I’ve created for myself.

Durant and Booker should play the whole 4th quarter. Its not like they're saving themselves for anything....

Who wins?
