We might get a #1 vs #8 in the NBA Finals, never thought we'd ever see that....lol.

Would actually be a great NBA Finals though.

Lakers might go out as badly as my wolves. Denver is not a team to trifle with.

Reaves
AD
Rui only ones that came to play.
Raul

A pedestrian game for Jokic is 9-19FG, 2-53PT, 6REB, 8AST, 24PTS +17

We really might be watching the start of a dynasty

Warriors would have been a tougher matchup. They wouldn't get swept especially at home with the refs in their back pockets

Refs with a good effort but couldn't bring it home.

Lakers had a joke path to the WCF, they straight up don't belong with Denver

Warriors would've gotten cooked just as bad, that whole bracket of the West was a joke

Remember when people were arguing that Embiid was better than Jokic? Yeh that was only 3-4 weeks ago.
