    Every time? I saw a lot of just running back up the court too considering how big some of the shots and plays were. Nowhere near LeBron and Westbrook and others’ levels of pound my own chest and mean mugging.

    I like Murray and Jokic. It’s all about Malone running his mouth and crying about nobody caring about his team. They are going to win the Chip, and still nobody outside of Denver and Serbia will care about the Nuggets.

    Let them win the chip, I am happy for them, doesn’t bother me a bit . I already got what I want this yr ( Boston/ gs not winning ) chicken nuggets don’t bother me at all .

    yeah, me neither. reminds me a bit of the dirk run in 2011. things just clicking around a generational talent and that main talent delivering the goods time and again. it's hard to maintain that, and they don't have a lot of means for roster upgrades (and some room for downgrades/injury).

    If we can cement our roster for next year we can give Denver a run for their money.

    Healthy LeBron or better shooting DLO we would have beat them possibly / likely. Certainly with healthy LeBron.

    Interesting. I did say that, and then provided career stats. Still hard for to overlook the big picture over effort for a single year. Lebron is no slouch, but I never saw him as a stopper all game long. But for short bursts.

    when he puts his mind to it, he’s still decent, but Kobe was unfair

    Oh wow!! Seriously he connected with that? I assumed it was a “bit” and he landed on part of the costume head that was pre-planned so it looked real but not hurt the poor schlep inside. Not something you’d hope for as a mascot.

    I get it, I saw him the last time. But can you imagine just using Dwight just against Joker? Joker is not a fast dude where Dwight can't keep up. Joker loves to bang in the paint. I think Dwight can still do that. He won't stop him, but maybe limit him to low 20s. Then we can focus on Murray. I think we had a lot of useless roster spots this post season, Dwight might be a viable option.

    I know, those mofos played hard against us! And each game we could have won. We need a few adjustments and I think we can win.

    Let say they are lucky and are healthy the next two years, you don't see them repeating? They are a pretty young team, we are more likely to be injured compared to them.

    Next 2 yrs ? Are you giving them a 3 peat ? Lol … nah but honestly i just think they got hot and AVS won the cup so they got extra motivation. I am a Nuggets hater and until they win back to back I’ll call this one a fluke .

    WCF what 3/4 years? This team is no fluke, but a lot goes into getting your first one. Repeating is very hard. Three-peats barely happen except to legends.

    if that were to happen, they would need to keep up this legendary play, stay healthy, motivated, and cope with major mental physical fatigue.

    and imagine listening to Malone for 2 more long extended runs.
