2023 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread

To paraphrase, there but for the incompetence of DL and Snyder, go the Jazz. Hard to see such a comparable team to us figure it out when we just... couldn't. Hurts.

But I'm happy for them really. I'm just happy to see a different team win another ring. And if it's the nuggets, it's the nuggets. We are Apollo Creed in Rocky 3 or whatever it was when he agreed to train Rocky. If you can't beat them at least begrudgingly support them while they beat someone else.

Heat probably don't have enough, but that is what I have thought in every series and they are still standing.
I got Heat in 6 unless Bam gets hurt, and yeah I know its a longshot.

It also really reflects Jokic and Murray’s style of leadership versus Don and Rudy.

Oups this one hurt. As it's so true.... Don and Rudy are not leader at all.

Go heat

When Denver wins, Jokic will be the only person to average a triple double in the playoffs and win a ring (assuming he keeps it up). Westbrook, Kidd, and Oscar all averaged a triple double (Westbrook twice), but didn't win rings those years.

Jokic jumping up and down at every call that doesnt go his way is annoying. Kind of pulling for the Heat in this one.

We’re witnessing a special talent though you’ve gotta admit…

If he wins this and maybe another, he could end up being greater than Dirk..

And that’s a heck of an achievement.

Jokic playing like a man possessed..

A 7 footer stole the ball - dribbled coast to coast - then finishes with his off hand over the defender ..

Wow.

Cody Zeller getting minutes in the nba finals is not a good thing I would say.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Remember when I got clowned for saying we should take Duncan Robinson with picks attached?

 

[The Midnight]

Mark Jackson saying Jokic is a point guard is High Praise.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

Today Denver play the wrong way for me. Team not enough involved, Jokic want to do it all alone, He might end with 40-45 points and loose the game.

The thing i hate most as a fan of an nba team is when i see the defense sagging way off a dude on the perimeter. I dont want guys on my team that the defense doesnt respect from 3. Hence why i dont want anthony black and why im not high at all on the thompsons.

Watching this finals game and seeing miami sagging way off aaron gordon would drive me mad as a nuggets fan.
