Nuggets starting to get that special feeling about them. I was actually worried for them with regard to the Suns matchups, but they held their nerve and got it done emphatically.

I still think champ is coming from the West, go and get it Nuggets.

Hey Suns and RealGM, let me save us all some time… the Blazers will not be trading Dame for CP and Ayton. That’s not a thing.

I said last week I think the Nuggets are the title favorites right now. Only team that’s looked like it’s never struggled, and they’ve not had an easy path to where they are.

And in 2018-19 their season was ended by Igor Kokoskov. So 4 out of 5 years.

I said previously that people would instantly disregard anything Booker did this postseason as soon as the series ended. literally called it. He is clearly not Jordan or Kobe level but he still ended up avg 34/5/7 on 59/51/87. There are countless people whose face should be on this meme aside from Booker's.

Sick and tired of him constantly taking sole blame every time the team comes up short.

Devin Booker didn't show up in another elimination game...

I keep trying to say hes on Tatum's level, but there are clear levels to how good Booker is vs. Tatum.

Booker is clearly a level below Tatum, and possibly Jaylen Brown.

I hope it's the Nuggets vs Heat in the finals. I'll be happy if Butler or Jokic get their first ring.

Phoenix simply doesn't have the depth to survive a series. And it's worse when CP3 got hurt.

He's also a loser. Guy couldn't even face the media after coming up short in a must-win game. Mental midget.

There’s an option missing, but I guess it falls under the “took ESPN seriously” category.
