    Nuggets destroying the Spurs 61-40 with 3 minutes left in Q2. Looks like they would rather have home court and play the Spurs in the second round!

    Spurs just had to get hot. Only a 14 pt lead at the half

    Spurs win by at least 10

    That’s very clearly not what they think.

    Yeah we know them. They can come back from a 30 point deficit like it ain't nothing.

    Welp, it will take a miracle for them to not blow this.

    That was a good example of why you don't want to play the Nuggets. Jokic and a crew of flunkies put up 70 in a half vs a nearly full spurs squad.

    Why? Denver don't care about playoff positioning now? Don't make sense.

    If they lose, they get a 1st round bye basically and will be rested for OKC. Them playing okc in round 2 after an easy 1st round series is what they SHOULD go for.

    I doubt it would be an easy series vs the Rockets. Highly doubt it.

    They think they match up better against the rockets, which is why they sat basically everyone.
