I'm starting to think exactly like Legler. Nuggets are winning it all no matter who they face. Celtics have got to be the most frustrating "contender" I've ever seen. In so many games in these playoffs, they were favored BIG to win only to lose each one and these were HOME games.
Game 5 vs. Atlanta
Game 1 & 5 vs. Philadelphia
Game 1 & 2 vs. Miami
They have burned a lot of people's money including mine. I'm sick of this team. The one time they weren't favored to win in this series which happens to be Game 4, they win.
They haven't won a Game 5 at home since 2018 against LeBron's Cavs only to lose blow that 3-2 lead. I'm thinking they get comfortable again once they're at home only for Miami to take it this Thursday.
Miami underestimated them a little. It happens. They don't have a lot of bad games like Boston does. Celtics are 8-point favorites. I see them blowing more money in Vegas. They keep killing people's money. When you bet them, they lose. When you don't bet on them, they win. F these Celtics.
I think the heat will win the championship
Nuggets are such a boring franchise. Denver is a boring town. Nugget players give boring interviews. Yawn.
I'm all-in on Denver. I try to love Miami but when Skip Bayless starts to love them, I need to pause. Miami is this year's San Diego State. Cinderellas don't usually win it all.
As a guy whoes rooting for the nuggets in actully terrified of the heat dont think the heat have enough size to contian jok like the Lakers even they had sevral bodies to throw at him bron did the best of anyone on the lakers guarding jok
Heat are just too small. Bam is a liability at the FT line. I just think Miami fluked. They're not that talented. Not like Denver. They're a lot like that 2009 Magic team.
Heat in 6, this is Jimmy's year.
The 2nd seed Celtics have lost 8x in these playoffs already. Nuggets have lost 3x. An 8th seed Heat have lost 4x. Heat are taking it. Tatum's game is very high and low like AD.
Leggs, a voice of sanity in an awfully noisy landscape.
We have. 17 chip we good 😂
I'm a Nuggets fan, and Denver would be the favorite over Miami. If Boston makes an incredible comeback and wins in 7, then it would be close to a pick em. One concern I have for the Nuggets is not playing for another 10 days. Practice doesn't compare to competition.
Nuggets are probably going to smoke the winner of this series. Especially considering they will be well rested. I dont see how either team can stop the 1-2 punch of Jokic-Murray either.
So even when jocik doesn't play well he still is the reason they won. Like that night murray scored 23 in the fourth quarter
Nope
Y'all don't be surprised when the Heat push the Nuggets to game 6/7 and win
The Heat are already thinking ahead to Denver. Might cost them some games to the Celtics.
Everyone knew this even before the playoffs started lmao, this is old news, unless you're one of the delusional, hard-coping fantards that thought their notoriously choke-happy, clown of a team had any chance, Fakers low iq fantards being the greatest example. 😂
The Nuggets wins the championship and Jokic the real MVP, the best to ever do it will be crowned as the GOAT, just like that.
End of story.
Um whoever does win heat Celtics it will be a good series but the teams with championship experience are going to win
Even 'I Want All the Attention on Me' James said it, Denver has it all, most complete team in the NBA. Denver in 6 games no matter which team they play in the Finals.
I dont like this attention for my nuggets. I just say this because this is the same way they hyped the t-wolves (8th seed can dethrone 1st seed because denver is a weak 1st seed), suns (kd,booker > jokic, murray), lakers (cause its the lakers and lebron and ad). now you guys are flipflopping again. just dont talk about absolutes. the nuggets dont need the curse you people bring.
Tim and maybe JJ if he afraid to call out players are the only credible people on ESPN
They’re the favorite but anything can happen. Nobody gave the Heat a chance against the Bucks✌🏽
2 or 3 championships coming to Denver
Duh
Avalanche last year, Nugget Nation This Year!
Broncos Next!
legler is the only one with a brain at espn and he decided to use it to speak facts
Tim is always on the money.
