Not once!


They were there in 2021, lost to the Suns.

I missed that one.

Thanks!

Denver was 2-2 against OKC while the clippers went 0-4. I think clearly denver has to try and draw blood early
In that series but i like the matchup much better than the clippers.

I feel like I've been robbed.

Clips really disappointing.

Thought this would be a great Game 7.

Credit the Nuggets, they stepped up.

Westbrook really gave them a spark off the bench.

No one can stop the joker that's a fact but the 1 person I feel matches up best with him is KP. KP will not only make the joker and Denver work with his outside shooting no one on Denver is really a speed merchant and the joker certainly is not either. KP has enough height to maybe slow him down at least.

So with that said I hope Denver can make it before OKC.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Per Statmuse, Westbrook became just the 4th bench player since 1978 to register a 15/5/5/5 statline in a playoff game. Only one to do it under 30 mins.

Can’t believe Kornet’s never done it.

Cleveland/Indiana: The Cavs might just finally find out what Heat culture is all about when the play the Pacers.

I feel like the Cavs sweep the Pacers. They are sort of a better version of the Pacers. Hali can only do so much & Mobley should turn Siakam into a liability.

Cavs have more holes defensively. There are matchups that can be exploited (Wade, Strus, Merril, Niang etc)
IND play fast, creates havoc and have good offense all around
This will not be a sweep IMO

I disagree. I think the Pacers match up well with Cleveland. Will they show up is the question.

No Garland for the Cavs to start their series. Cavs fans seem a little worried about his toe injury.

Haven’t started watching the Cavs game yet but honestly already seems more competitive than Miami. Losers.

Not gonna lie, love the fact Pacers taking it to the Cavs

Take some of the starch outta that Cav swagger lol

Can the rest of league now acknowledge that the Pacers in last year's conference finals was not a fluke? They were our toughest challenge despite the sweep

I think the pacers have some type of depth to challenge them. We shall see. Can they keep this up?
