really can see the lakers winning the chip. 3/4 of the series they have to play will go to a game 7 while they will have at least 1 series where it end before a game 7 I say a game 6. LeBron goes off and his team backs him up. Bron wins his 5th and the people who dislike bron gotta hear how great LeBron is for the next year. same as the people who disliked Brady had to hear how he pooped golden bricks after he won his 7th. This will be praised as one of the greatest title runs in NBA history. From the play in to an NBA title. Rock chalk championship, LA takes the title.
This podcast has done nothing but hate on the Nuggets all season. The East Coast bias is obvious. ESPN sheep commentary.
Denver v Phoenix will be a great series
Durant already answered this “They are the No. 1 seed for a reason.”
LBJ and Bronny to the Dubs next year
This fat guy is in propaganda war against Jokic, now he is talking about Nuggets.
Espn been doing revisionist historybsince Saturday. First it was the Lakers would handly beat denver if they met in the first round or PHX easily in the 2nd. Now it's Denver's been the best since the all star break?
They said the exact opposite earlier?

You guys are WRONG about the nuggets and MVP all year. They are so different that Murray or Jokic or Gordon, none of them NEED to score like Embiid because they all score well thanks to the chemistry and TEAMWORK instilled in them. Murray and Gordon could both be allstars. Jokic is a defender like his stats say. You don't see his offense either because he makes it all look so easy. Jokic is the clear MVP and worthy of three in a row. Imagine Booker or Giannis or Embiid, or Steph, playing without their #2 and #3 They wiuld most likely not even make the playoffs. Denver does not need to be scoring 30 points by one player because they have 6 in double figures and 3 or more at 20 or 30 plus. Jokic can easilt score 40 plus a game if he wanted, or stand and block shotsx if he did not think rebounds were more important to WINNING!!
THESE FOOLS ARE THE BANWAGONS
Wouldn’t say most impressive since all star break most impressive throughout the playoffs I would say
The Suns need to cut down turnovers and win the rebound battle in order to win the series. They also need to play faster
Clearly the nuggets coasted and didn't care the last 1.5 months of the season. They have turned it up and should be the favorites to win it all.
Denver wins in 5 they just have too much compared to suns. Two people can’t beat 7 guys
It took a whole season, and some playoff games. For someone from ESPN to actually see them. 😑
Absolute MORON claiming Jamal Murray "hasn't been the same player since the bubble." He was OUT for 2 seasons!!! These guys are professional sports journalists with absolute clown takes like that. I didn't think it was possible to be more stupid than Kendrick Perkins, but this complete mouth-breather takes the taco.
Nuggets fan here, Remember when the NBA media was telling us that after the all star break they were playing bad (which they were) and everyone essentially forgot about them, now they switch up again after ONE game vs phx. Funny stuff
I hope the Nuggets sweep the sorry Suns and Kevin DuCan't
Murray won't be able to repeat what he did and KD and Booker were just off for that game. It was a fluke that Denver won honestly but now the Suns are awake/prepared so this series should be over in 5-6. Jokic looked soft with Ayton guarding him which is typical when Jokic faces an elite center he tends to not play well. Ayton is the key factor to this series if he can continue to shut Jokic down.
I’m just wondering if there’s anyone who takes any of Tim Bontemps takes seriously? Called Murray a fluke, completely shut down any chance of the Lakers advancing, and so on… It’s not so much about him getting it wrong, it’s the conviction who spoke with…
The Nuggets scored almost 1.4 points per PnR, dominated the glass and way out numbered Phoenix from deep . All these elements they will win every game.
Nuggets fans are acting like they have this series in the bag. The Suns just came off a battle against a very talented Clippers team and looked a little tired as a result. They should be more prepared for game 2. If Ayton can continue to shut Jokic down the pressure to produce will become too much for Murray. This matchup leans far more in PHX favor as Ayton can lock Jokic down, Booker is the better version of Murray, and KD has zero match.
