Not me. We won. Sneak win, last second win, blowout win, I dont care. We need every win we can get. Denver gets respect. We are in a fight. We need to finish these guys off. The clipps folded because they underestimated them. Not us, we can't. Denver is a cockroach that won't die until you get the Hammer

It's hilarious how Nuggets fans are complaining about foul calls saying LBJ and AD received 14 freethrows each. Game 2 Nuggets still received more foul shots than this game. It's just so hilarious. I forgot what it feels like to be hated this much. Feels like the old days.

Yeah....I really hated being that young team that the NBA Players had all these nice comments to make about. Guys talking our young kids up. It was humiliating.

I remember liking it more when we totally sucked, but it was new...so the league was just kicking us on the ground. Other fans showing up to talk their trash. Being hated is a nice thing. Means your doing something right.

Let’s hope both AD and Lebron rest up tomorrow, they played a ton of minutes and that AD ankle roll looked nasty.

I know Murray has endless energy, they’ve been playing him pretty much almost entire games, hopefully he slows down at some point.

Let’s go Lakers, let’s close this series out.

Kuzma needs to find a way to be the defender he was last series consistently... that in itself would justify the "is he a fit for this system" questions I have, but so far vs the Nugs I'd say this and total spectating sums it up:

a few shots go our way last game and we sweep. Doesn't make the games easy though.

I hate when people use free throw discrepency to complain about officiating. Go look at the fouls and tell me the number of them that shouldn't have been called is the better way to argue. Denver guards, namely Muray and Morris do nothing but lean their body against the defender on their drives and then pretend they got shot out of a cannon when the defender moves an inch. And yet the refs gives them the whistle every time. You really think those two bums can finish their and 1s if our much bigger defender was really bumping them while playing D? Those guys actually think they should get more FT for that? Get the hell out of here.

Huge game by Howard and Rondo. The Nuggets have no answer for these 2.

It's time to put them down, no comebacks this time.

Can we put out a search warrant for Danny Green?

As well as Howard played in the first half, I thought keeping him on the bench in the 4th was the right call. It's not like Jokic was killing Morris. Murray got hot and Denver was forcing us to switch our big onto Murray just about every play. Howard would've gotten destroyed on those force switches. I actually thought Morris did a good job out there.

It got close but felt like we were in control all game. The lead basically never changed. They’re a formidable opponent.

The Heat are for real; playing like a machine and they’ve got Herro.

I'm beginning to realize Denver IS the better team over the clippers.

Hobos aren't this fighting of a team and have no set play strategies or any team cohesion feels like.

This Denver team will run over anyone w any small sort of mental lapse. Eat you alive.

The Heat are definitely legit. Denver is offensively a bigger threat but let's be real: Denver plays nearly no D. The Heat however are a different beast.

I still fear Denver more though, but maybe I'm wrong.

I believe Miami is sharper and has a larger playbook in halfcourt offense. Also butler is clutch in last few mins of a tight game. They have to be put down early to have a chance. Dragic is crafty and just as effective as Jamal Murray right now. Herro is the best 3pt shooter in the playoffs and their coach knows the tendencies of an older LeBron im sure he studied him throughout.

It'll be a tougher series if we manage to get out of this current one alive.

To be the champ you need to beat the next best team. It seems to me Miami is one well oiled and hard nosed machine to beat.

It’ll be fun to watch AD and LBJ having to reach deep to win.

Jimmy Butler ain’t afraid of no LeBron. His attitude is contagious and a season later their whole team seems to have adopted that toughness.

Spoelstra is as we know for real.

But first, Eliminate Nuggets!

Because everyone expects blowouts all the time. Objectively speaking, it wasn't the best showing. Close or not, still up 3-1. Sometimes it's going to be pretty, other times you gonna have to get it out the mud. Regardless, all that matters is the W.
