Nuggets in 5

Cinderella stories usually come to a skreeching haul

Heat aren’t a Cinderella story they’re not really a 8th seed

Heat aren’t a Cinderella story they’re not really a 8th seed

When the Knicks made the Finals in 1999 as the 8th seed, there was just about a six game difference between them and the #1 seeded HEAT.

This HEAT team was the 7th seed and only got to 8th due to the Play-In.

They finished 14 games behind Milwaukee and 13 games behind Boston.

They are their seed!

Nuggets are so big and mobile. They’re like a super charged version of the Celtics. Jokic is obviously a problem but I’m nervous when about Martin/Strus trying to stop Aaron Gordon from bullying them. Or MPJ from shooting over then

Who knows how the seeding plays out if it’s a full season though? 2011-12 was weird and so was 2020-21 but that’s 10 and 16 games shorter respectively. 1999 was nearly cut in half. There wasn’t even a 1998 portion of it.

We finna wash these nikkas

RING TIME!!!

Don’t care who wins, I’m just glad Boston lost.

Bam is on paper anyways, one of the few centers you could see having success defensively against Jokic in transition

I'm sure Jokic will still go off and Denver wins the series really easily, but I'm interested to see what Bam is able to do defending Jokic

denver dont "rely" on talent like celtics do.. and they got shooting and size on all positions. Heat might get game 1... denver gon smash.

The Cs were killing on the offensive glass

Nuggets can play that Moses Malone basketball with Miami

They even said it in the game one of the most injured team this season

They said 3rd or 4th most games lost to injury this year trailing the spurs, pacers, and I think one other team.

This where I'm at with it

I wasn't even rooting against the celtics at first either but I grew a dislike for tatum along the way somehow
