[Harrison Wind] The Nuggets have lost three times all playoffs. Two were Games 3 and 4 in Phoenix where Devin Booker shot a combined 34-43 for 83 points. The other was an OT loss in Minnesota.

Weak eastern conference
The Nuggets with one of the most dominant playoff runs in history
Ya and the real fraud lakers got swept giving them 10 days of rest before the finals
Devin looked like MJ out there
This series isn’t over yet, but it is really dumb how much shit KD and Booker got for their loss when they essentially 2v5d the Nuggets and got 2 wins, more than the Lakers and Twolves combined
Imagine if Naz Reid played
Also, that Minnesota loss was after we came back from a 12 point deficit in 1 minute and Jokic missed a FT late
Our legacy grows with every game
That Wolves loss feels like a decade ago
Ant was really good that series too
Hey, don’t forget about those moral losses to the Lakers.
Jokic is the best player in the nba confirmed
Ah, so the plan for Miami is simple.
Sign Devin Booker and move to Minnesota.
That OT loss was about the best way you could hope to *lose* a game. A big run at the end of the 4th quarter to tie the game just to make them realize no win is going to come easy.
They’re pretty good.
Those two wins the suns got against the Nuggets looking better by the day and they were on the verge of winning game 2 before CP3 got hurt. All it took was Booker playing like prime MJ.
Booker is underrated, too bad it’s just him and KD at this point
It’s just the Nuggets year. There in a class above everyone else
We’re hanging the banner
I remember the conversation that the Nuggets couldnt win a title as long as Jokic was their center bc he was a ‘bad’ defender. Glad those are gone
I mean we’ll see what the Heat are able to do but this is potentially one of the all time great playoff run in the league. If this team didn’t decide to coast for 6 weeks we could be talking about an all time great team
So the lakers were the only team to not take a game from nuggets so far this play offs lol.
Raise the banner
In other words, Devin Booker had to shoot 80% to beat them
Kinda funny that all year the general opinion was that the West was weak and the East was dominant and yet here we are, opinion as seemingly flipped to where the West is back on top.
Twolves moral victory
Lakers media spin was in overdrive to make that sweep feel like it was a toss up.
Also Jokic has dominated every matchup he has been in. He dominated Gobert, Ayton, made the Lakers change strategy because he was dominating AD as well. One of the most dominant playoff runs from a big man I have ever seen.
If the nugs get 3 more wins quick Book and KD are gonna be looking real good
Look they were never going to beat the nuggets this year but the suns are no joke, game 4 aside. As a nuggets fan nothing this yoffs pissed me off like Booker seeming to hit literally everything. It was an awesome series to watch, and the most stressed I have been so far, even if in hindsight not ‘close.’ I am looking forward to battling them next year
Timberwolves Nuggets WCF 2024
I honestly can’t believe Booker basically couldn’t miss and the games were still close.
For 4 or 5 games Booker was one of the best players I’ve ever seen
