"You Can See the Light Years a Mile High" - Nuggets (#6) vs. Warriors (#3) West 1st Round Thread

[havoc]

He missed a month of basket

No shyt. I said open shots not contested shots. There's a differences

 

[Mastamimd]

Won’t say it’s impossible but they’ll have to play almost perfect basketball to have a chance

Wish we had Murray and MPJ

Sorry man but unless Gordon plays better we getting swept

 

[Surreal]

If klay poole and Steph all get hot in the same game

There's only one ball my man

 

[The God Poster]

He definitely got fouled even though he kicked out. He had no chance to land.

Rivers didn’t touch him

 

[Walt]

Breh.. who are the second and third options. That's why he's the MVP. The surrounding talent just not there and yet they won close to 50

Jokic is one of my favorite players. I watch the Nuggets regularly. He still needs to be better in this game.

if he plays perfect it's still a 5 game series maybe 6 max.. that's all i'm saying. There's not too many great 1st round matchups this year. Maybe 2-3 good ones.

You clowns should really be putting money on the Dubs while the odds are still good.

Here’s my bet slip to prove I put my money where my mouth is:

 

[DlAMONDZ]

Pretty crazy to think that before this game Curry, Klay and Dray played just 11 minutes together since the ‘19 finals

 

[Fresh]

this game is pretty entertaining thus far

 

[Ironman]

Joker deserves better than this

 

[the next guy]

Thought Denver was going to get moving here.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Looney's the only guy on the team with a negative +/-

When he's out there, Jokic doesn't have to do much defensively. When he's matched up with Dray at center, they have him in pick and rolls every play getting good looks.

Draymond can't play at the 5 for the entire series and the entire playoffs. He isn't 25 anymore, and is coming off a significant back injury. They have to manage him, which means playing the likes of Looney/Bjeli at the 5 when needed. We're only halfway through one game, so there's plenty more ball to go. Size will inevitably come into play at some point, and that's when Looney will be needed.

Too many damn overreactions in here.

 

[SCORCH]

Nxggas need to put respect on Dray's name. All these years talking about how he can't defend real big men. He's been doing it.

Man is out there having just recovered from lower back injury and is now locking up the MVP who has been cooking the whole league.

Greatest defensive player the game has ever seen.
