The NBA is just not a serious league - 1.8% chance team wins the draft lottery after the most controversial trade in modern American sports, then they purposefully hold off on announcing the MVP while the habitual flopping leading candidate is celebrating hitting three pointers up 35 against the other teams bench that couldn't beat most G League squads.
The Nuggets were never going to win this game. Even if they didn't blow it with turnovers, this has been another one of those NBA playoff mysteries where the game is officiated in ways that are never normally allowed. They could have, and in every game typically would have, called a foul on the way Jokic was getting slapped, checked, held, and bumped every possession, and then instead the yes men announcing crew are hyping up Caruso as some sort of Bruce Bowen type of playoff lockdown defender. It's pathetic.

These aren't fouls. (Very reminiscent of the last 3 games of the 2016 NBA Finals.)
im a turbo square for taking denver for multiple hundreds of dollars
Joic is like a dancing bear, launched a 3 ball while doing a crazy pirouette .Quote:

Valiant first half effort, anytine who's ever pulled a hamstring understands how wild it is that Gordon could compete. So unfortunate given how good he's been.Quote:

Murray's AIDS must have taken their toll, that guy is a gamer and looked more limited than Gordon.
Malone never blooded the young guys and it showed, you're fucked when you have no depth and dudes get hurt.
An LOL all health final four but I like watching all remaining teams, didn't see the Pacers much this year but they're rolling.
Zero chance the NBA is going to allow an Indy vs. OKC final. The fix is in for NYC. Book it.
The Knicks making it is probably the only way this won't be the lowest rated finals ever, and even then it will be close.

He would be totally justified in getting out of Denver.

Fall down, jump into defenders, lean into defenders - mvp.

The much larger and seemingly more athletic team's strategy has been to use none of their advantages on nearly any possession and to instead throw up awful three point attempts. Playing this way the Timberwolves are unlikely to win a game in this series.
14-46 from three with plenty of time left in the game.
14/48 now, is effective FG % of 47.Quote:

You’re happy with that 3 % against OKC. Prefer a few more to drop, but they are just elite at defense.

This game and what it represents for the current state of the NBA isn't that different from the Mexican ship crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge and what it symbolizes for America.
