I don’t get it. Beating the lakers is going to be insanely tough Then beating the heat/Celtics 4 times? -120 is throwing money away. I’d still put our odds under 25%. We have a 2-0 lead, the home court, the best player on planet earth, and playoff Murray. The Lakers are toast. And unless the Celtics win 4 out of the next 5 including at least 2 on the road, the Nuggets will have the home court in the Finals too. this series isnt over. all it takes is one lakers win in game 3 (which they are favored) and the series flips. it then becomes a must win for us. on the road. in a game where they have all the momentum. 2-0 is nothing. I hope the team is focused and not taking this lakers team lightly. this series is NOT over |

I wouldn't say series flips if Lakers win game 3. It would be miracle if Nuggets win it. Our real chance is game 4 IMO. but also, I wouldn't call either of these two games must win. Nuggets just needs to do what they did all playoffs. play with heart and intensity, be focused and execute. and run like crazy. Lakers, just like Phoenix, can't keep up with us running

I hope the team is focused and not taking this lakers team lightly. this series is NOT over We literally lost games 3 and 4 in the last series and still closed it in 6. LeBron is gassed and hurt. Even if the Lakers win both games in LA, it's going to take a lot out of him. The Lakers have to be perfect in 3 games at home and still take one in Denver. They are not beating us 4 out of 5 times. They couldn't beat us when both teams shot great, they couldn't beat us when both teams shot poorly. They couldn't beat us when Jokic shot poorly. |

I don't get how Rock follows sport with this attitude. I'd stop watching if it caused so much stress for me.

Guys you know what, I got to be in hospital for three days from June 14 - 16 because I have a big issue sleep apnea apparently (I wake up in the middle of the night and I stopped breathing for long). Now the real sad news: Turns out, game 6 of the finals is June 15. If we make it to the finals and have a chance to end it in 6…. What do I do?  |

Regarding my score prediction, I wanted to quickly post it a day before the game. I just started a master's degree at one of the Ivy League universities and just came from class (and was a bit tired) ...did not calculate it accordingly lol
Nuggets in 4

So as y’all know I’m a huge Draymond fan. I’m a huge Michigan State fan. I love his podcast. But the way he’s been talking about this series it’s been DISGUSTING. He’s so in love with the lakers and keeps bashing on the nuggets.
Listen to it man it’s so annoying

The Lakers had a 26-10 free throw advantage in game 2
The refs are not calling more than 1 or 2 fouls on LeBron and AD
LeBron is 38, old, very tired after games 1 and 2, injured (he also sprained his ankle in game 2). AD is very tired and injury prone
The NBA will release the names of the refs for tonight’s game in less than 1 hour

We were up 2-0 in that series and came back home tied 2-2. Series isn't over if the Nuggets go up 3-0 or 3-1. It's the first to 4. LA is undefeated at home. It's going to take an INCREDIBLE effort to steal one of these. |

We have more rested legs and that will decide this series. Reaves and Hachimura will finally hit the wall and stop shooting 80% fg as all role players do. Regardless of how bad Jeff and CB were bad in the last 2 games, they deserved to have a couple of good games. Lakers put huge effort to win one of the first two and lost both. I expect that they're drained emotionally

It's going to take an INCREDIBLE effort to steal one of these. ofc its not over. far far from it. but what we see is best team in NBA, glimpses of which were seen when we traded for AG and before Jamal went down. and biggest thing is, its not about me thinking Nuggets are best team in basketball. no. its about players knowing they are best team in basketball. you are correct, its going to take incredible effort to steal a game in LA. tonight, almost impossible. but there is one more thing, its going to take even bigger effort from Lakers to win both games. if Nuggets shows up tonight, and I believe they will, even if Lakers win, we have this series. we did have 2-0 against Phoenix, and got back home tied 2-2, but it took insane effort from Phoenix to win those games, they were physically done after it. thats going to happen to Lakers too. they will need to outrun and outpace Nuggets just to have a chance. as I said whole postseason, just keep up the intensity. you want it? go out and get it. |

2-1 it is
could you imagine the NHL or NFL not only still employing the co-conspirator of the biggest ref/gambling scandal in your leagues history, but making him the crew chief in the most pivotal games of the playoffs? NBA is bush league.
