We’ve seen glimpses of this for so long. We knew what this group was capable of, and something always happened. To see it finally come together like this, we’ll, it’s hard to put into words. One. More. Win.
I’m seriously considering flying into Denver just to hang out in town on Monday but I’ve got a meeting in Florida on Tuesday and I don’t trust myself to make that flight if the Nuggets win lol.

Suns: I had Nugs in 6, we won in 6
Lakers: I had Nugs in 5, we won in 4
Heat: I had Nugs in 5

Dude, same! I have points for a free flight to and from Denver. I should just go. Would be insane being there if Denver closes out. |

I still can't believe the defensive effort from the Nuggets this game. I know it won't happen but I really hope Jokic gets some national coverage in that area. He was disrupting everything. It's been annoying at times with Malone's obsession with effort/defense his entire time here but you really gotta eat crow and let him take a victory lap. Sure there was some mistakes but honestly just an A++ effort across the board. Nuggets have held the Heat to under 100 points in all 3 W's. Miami had what like 2 banked 3's tonight as well? Pisses me off the amount of credit Miami got for game 2 when it was just a bad Nuggets game .. who had earned that game after a crazy streak of good ones.
Also makes me really happy we faced the Heat after seeing the refs tonight. I'm not one to complain or make a huge deal about them but it was pretty obvious they wanted Miami to tie it tonight. Grab 1 more and let's finish this.

Anyone who says otherwise is a complete idiot and doesn’t deserve time on TV (looking at you Kendrick Perkins and Nick Wright), but we’re clearly the better team and it’s not even close.

If it was Davis/Gobert/Embiid etc. it'd be a talking point. |

The Nuggets faith in Murray is just an all-time great decision. From ownership, to the FO, to Malone. I've been a big Murray fan but there's 0% chance I would have maxed him as early as the Nuggets did. All the concern(including from myself) and Murray making it all worth it. No wait and see and full belief from belief from the Nuggets overall which is impressive and is now paying off in a big way. |

Miami: 4/12 shooting with Jokic as primary defender
That makes 7/31 against Jokic in the last 2 games.

Man, I am just watching videos from the locker room and I am impressed with Malone. The chain for D goes to Jokic but he didn't forget to mention JG and his huge 3 in the 4th and then he listed other players as well
