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

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Agreed, although I do think jokic was impactful up until the last minute when Curry and Dray made plays against him

He definitely choked in the closing moments, but even then you've got to put it into perspective:

How many players can go up against a Steph/Draymond/Klay squad and beat them without help? Nobody.

What game are you watching?

nikka out his mind, Klay was huge tonight, especially in the 3rd and 4th

Kenny Smith was babbling with that JP vs Klay shyt, Klay was hitting key 3s in the second half, those points were impactful

sure was, not sure what K. Smith was watching. Klay came up huge with those shots

 

[AAKing23]

If Marc Gasol and Al Horford can give him trouble, then so can Draymond

The funny thing is you nikkas thinking anyone of these nikkas is guarding this current iteration of Embiid one on one with no help or doubles during an entire game. nikkas getting ate up, please play him with single coverage, no coach is stupid enough to try that shyt cuz they know what happens

Mario Kasun with the green light

I always found that mindset to be retarded. You scoring points and notching assists is inherently impactful.

And Jokic's impact was having them within 10 points at the end of the game. Just because you lose doesn't mean that you provided no impact.

True

I'm still trying to figure out where this narrative is coming from that jokic can't ever escape the first round

Why are some people acting like the nuggets have never made it out the first round

That's the funny part, especially since they're trying to use his playoff record to somehow prop up Embiid

If it was used to make a case for Giannis then it would at least make some sense but trying to shoehorn Embiid into playoff accomplishment/team record is just clutching at straws

This angle

This dude @papa surf was saying two show the nuggets will sweep




What a turn around

 

[old pig]

This dude @papa surf was saying two show the nuggets will sweep

this dude is really up @ 6:30 in the morning still in his feelings behind me laughing at some shyt yesterday afternoon…holy shyt the fragile ego on some of you lmaooo

in any event produce the quote

I can produce the one that still has you in your feelings

KD just needs to stick to free throws and let Kyrie and the role players do the scoring

that homo casual is a TLR poster who somehow found his way to the coliseum

I’m literally in tears.

 

[Damnshow]

You can't beat the experience that easy. The Warriors core has been together for about 10 years. I don't expect Grizzlies to beat Golden State in best of 7, unless their bench plays like crazy, but even then Golden State has a deep bench too.

 

[TheNig]

Jokic did some really goofy shyt down the stretch but this team plays defense like the Washington Generals.

 

[SchoolboyC]

At this point I hope a miracle happens and Embiid wins MVP. For nothing else but so all this bytching & crying can stop
