The Denver Nuggets won the NBA championship, beating the Miami Heat 4-1 in the NBA Finals. What was it about their style of play that allowed them to do what Boston couldn’t? John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm discuss how the Nuggets were able to win without making a bunch of 3-pointers, and how they were able to score enough while keeping Miami’s offense in check. Plus, how they were able to build their roster in a way that made it all work so well (and yes, getting lucky with Nikola Jokic helps).

Freshest podcast intro no cap!
Thanks for still dropping the podcasts even though the C's are out
Celtics Coaches and Players need to learn to be patient and trust in each other when the game plan is not working. Nuggets in Game 5: 5-28 3PT (17.9%), 13-23 FT (56.5%), and 15 turnovers. They just played more physical, picked up the pace with the desire and determination to close out the game and win their 1st 🏆.
The Celtics can learn not to totally depend on 3 point shots. Drive to the basket and make layups when 3 point shots aren't falling. In other words, have a better all around game.
And now the doldrums of June begin. Summer League can’t come soon enough…☘️😎
As a Celtics fan I’m happy we was the better team woulda been a better series
