    What were you wrong about? Nuggets? There was a decent chance of happening.

    Jokic was playing the 1st Half, people forgot, for his MVP eligibility.

    The Ime factor is enough to lose a playoff series to literally any team.

    The only thing the refs couldn't help was making shots for the Spurs. LOL.

    That’s fine. But without Luka and Austin, we are beating the lakers man. 4-1

    We shall see. I don’t see them losing to injured Lakers, at all. So if you’re wrong you better own up to it. I’ll do the same ;)

    It is the right mindset though, competing no matter what is the right mindset.

    I have the Nuggets among title favorites even after the Thunder and Boston, next to Spurs.

    Even if you play the Spurs in the 2nd Round, they match up well enough against the Spurs.....

    The Nuggets can only surprise to take it to 6 or 7.

    Other team that gave Wemby problems are Mitchell Robinson and the Knicks.

    bruh.. hell no. Have you seen how the rockets treat teams they know they can beat???? The record against bad teams is BUNNNS. Every game probably a nail-biter. the Lakers actually want to play us lool

    We'll see. I just can't ever bet on the Rockets when they are run by a 65 IQ head coach.

    Wow I can't believe SA lost to Denvers backup and third string players while playing starters 30 mins (like Fox) and clearly trying to win.
