Are we 100% positive that Denver beats a fully healthy Minnesota last year? Last years Nuggets team was much better and they struggled with no Reid/McDaniels. I just think at the end of the day the Nuggets can't win unless Murray plays at an elite level and I don't think he was ever going to do that against the Minnesota defense of this year. We smashed Minnesota last year. We took 3:0 lead with all comfortable wins. After that it's normal that the energy goes down. And you're somewhat right about Jamal as we lost game 4 because of him. But he doesn't need to be elite in every game. He just needs to be above G-leage level. This year in game 7 him and Jokic scored 70 and assisted on the other 20 points both shooting around 50%. That's more elite than I expected. We got nothing from mpj and he's the one that needs to go. If it wasn't for a historic choking in game 7 (never happened in the history of the game before) we beat Minnesota this year again with a weaker team so yes we're 100% sure we beat healthy minny last year Average margin was 12.5 pts in the wins. Lost 1 game...in OT. That's about as easy as it gets in the playoffs. Obviously would've been tougher with McDaniels and Reid...but don't see a scenario where that equates to a series loss.

Jesus - Dallas may have life after all, with the Porz injury.

With no Kristaps I can absolutely see Dallas winning this series in 7 now.
If it goes back to Boston 2-2 and still no KP then Boston are in huge trouble.

Luka having an all-time whiny, bad defense finals game here.
If Joker played like this he'd get crucified.

It seemed like it made sense at the time. Mavs are no better a finals team that the Heat last year. Worse actually. For all the talk of the much vaunted West it's provided one of the worst finals teams in a long time.

It really is a f***ing shame that the Nuggets weren't up to the challenge this year. This finals has been atrocious. Dallas just has no chance at all. It's 2 guys and 10 who can't shoot.

For all the talk of the much vaunted West it's provided one of the worst finals teams in a long time. Advantage of playing in a cheese conference. Denver was gonna be Boston’s toughest matchup. Only hope was that another team in the West gauntlet would handle them. And it happened. Dallas looks a lot like the team that missed the playoffs last year right now.

In addition, the Celtics are Mavsbane the same way the Wolves were Nuggetsbane. Which is to say, if you made a team to make life miserable for the Nuggets it'd be a team full of strong defensive bigs and wing defenders with just enough scoring to win an ugly ass game 94-92. If you made a team to make life miserable for the Mavs it'd be a team full of defensive guards/wings that plays 5 out with a pretty balanced attack where you can't hide Luka defensively and you can't get him a favorable matchup offensively. Like I think the Wolves or Thunder would have looked better against the Celtics even if the series result was the same, simply because Boston is such a bad matchup for the Mavs.

Dallas punted the seeding this year. They chose to give 11 days of rest to Luka and Kyrie vs fuc*ing bs seeding. That got them to the finals which was more than they could expect.

This choke by Boston is worse than us in game 7.

This is what Boston is always capable of. All of a sudden their offense gets stuck in the mud.

A 21pt lead down to 3pts in 5 minutes LMAO.
Yeah this will make our choke look tame if Dallas pulls this off.

That got them to the finals which was more than they could expect. I think that's because Dallas were locked into the 5th seed with almost about 10 days remaining.
