How can you sleep now. I just opened another beer lol
And I gotta go to work, it's 5:30AM here in Serbia
Ending this so I can sleep for a full week is also what makes me happy right now 😂
I know it's hard to watch these games from Europe but you need to adjust somehow because this could be the beginning of something that can last another 3 or 4 years. Keep up!

Hello.. haven't posted in 5 years but checking back in. How awesome is this!!!
From the AI/MELO beginning to the Billups/Melo WCF run, Melo drama, Gallo/Faried/Iggy run n gun year and the JJ Hickson/Randy Foye years it feels amazing to finally make it to the last 7 games of the playoffs.
When Jamal came to Melbourne and in the offseason, I was lucky to be able to meet him and chat for a bit. He was so locked in and ready to go. I asked him if we can expect to see bubble Jamal return and he said he's still that guy ... So proud to have a fighter like that on our team and showing up on the biggest stage after a year off. I love everything about this team, and can't wait to see them lift up another trophy in 3 weeks time. Have just started a new job so cannot make the trip to Denver which kills me but hoping to make the trip next season.
Alot of you have been with the team for way longer then me and I can only imagine how good this feels for all of you too. Enjoy this fellas.

Refs could have screwed us and blown the whistle to bail out LeBron on final play, but luckily we still had our challenge left to contest any call.
I apologize to Malone for saying he should have challenged Jokic’s second foul.

Yeah, I'm doing my best during the playoffs and on weekends throughout the regular season.
Now let's win this!

I’m just speechless 😶
What a team, what humility amongst a group that just wants to win.
Just passed midday here in Sydney, Australia and the beers are flowing.
I’m flying to Denver on the weekend to feed the buzz and see if I can get tickets

Unrelated on LeBron - the two things I'm looking at tonight and as long as this series goes: 1. When the "the foot is much worse than people think" or "the foot should be an 8 month injury" leaks come out from the LeBron media folks. If it's pregame or even during the game, he's trying to get out in front of it and it might be time to bet Nuggets. Otherwise, it'll be immediately after they do lose *knock on wood*. 2. What he says about Jokic when the series ends. This has been interesting to me. There's a little LeBron talking about Steph and the Warriors in 2015/16 to the way he talks about Jokic/Nuggets. He credited basically everybody but Jokic last game. I think he mentioned 6 guys. Didn't say one word about Jokic. Seems happy to praise KCP, MPJ, Bruce Brown, even Jeff Green. I've heard him talk about Jamal a bunch. Basically crickets about Jokic. When asked why the Nuggets were up 3-0 he attributed it to role players. Absolutely nothing about Jokic. Like a vague implication to his guys are hitting shots and mine aren't. This guy is all about his brand, and this feels very strategic. Cede nothing to the other great player on the other side. When asked before the series about 2020, he basically said Jokic was good in 2020 and wouldn't expand at all. Like don't diminish that I've already bested this guy. I'm hopeful to see LeBron appreciate greatness, which Jokic deserves, but my assumption is the focus will rest on his health, maybe how beat up and exhausted the team was from having to play must win games for so long, or any number of ways to avoid just really giving a younger guy flowers. LeBron only publicly appreciates guys in the immediate vicinity of them maybe coming to his team to help him win, it seems like. I really enjoyed KD talking about Jokic during their series. He has a view of the game and Jokic we will never see, and you could hear in the way he talked about him that it was clicking in real time that Jokic is not overstated by the media, but actually as good as advertised. And he took several moments to really talk to him after Game 6. Contrast that with other stars who kind of brush by Jokic with a generic congratulations you'd reserve for a role player you had no history with. Dame comes to mind before he also alluded to Jokic having more help in '21 (he didn't). I think you got your answer. 4-5 lucky turnaround shots from 30ft away lol P.S. Now he expanded on Jokic and said a few very nice words. Classy

We are losing to the heat arent we? We have no chance to stop their offense.
I just know it 🤦♂️
I’m kidding! Tonight we celebrate!!
Tomorrow reality kicks in. I’m going to try and ignore it as long as possible

Kind of turned on by the way LeBron just praised Jokic.
Haha, not really, but that was a great sound bite.
