Denver was a team I thought we couldn't beat. After this, I am convinced we are going to the finals. I don't see Dallas taking us out in 7 games. My God, this is just a crazy feeling for this team.

This is a garbage Fox sports take
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

That was dumb my McDaniels. Nothing good will come from that and someone from Denver may be inclined to take a hard foul in these meaningless final seconds.

...also, if LeBron did the dunk Jokic did right there we'd get a 10-page thread about it.

Glad Jokic hype will become more reasonable now.

It’s crazy that one of these stars are gonna begin their legacy…one of Luka, Ant or Tatum are gonna get crowned and then it shifts the discussion of where they can rank historically given how young they all are.

I thought Jokic would own a 2-3 year window until one of them developed.

It almost feel like Giannis/Jokic’s (HM Embiid) era was barely a blip on the radar and now we’re already on to the next chapter lol like it’s skipping a generation. But I guess we’ll see how Jok & Giannis bounce back. I’m just not sure they can even hold off these young guys.

Nuggets season was pretty much lost after losing that game to Spurs. It was a twist of fate.

There will be no rationality here.

Basketball is 1v1 not 5v5. Jokic choked and overrated.

I thought the veteran-savvy edge would out-edge the young-energy edge. But depth and fatigue (and a little complacency) killed Denver.
