Both Tatum and Brown realized they shit the bed yesterday, Tatum had a bum ankle but Brown knew he didn't play well.

Kudos to Spoelstra for figuring out what to do.  

I would expect Denver to win in 5 though I'd love to see Jimmy get one.

From Wikipedia..last edit, 27th of May..
''Of the 151 NBA teams that have fallen into a 0–3 deficit (As of May 27, 2023),[11] only four of them (~2%) have forced a game 7, with all three teams that have played game 7 losing in game 7.[12] The first three teams were the visiting team in game 7. To date, there has never been a successful comeback from a 0–3 series deficit in the NBA, though the Boston Celtics will attempt to become the first team to do so in game 7 against the Miami Heat in the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals.''

let's make history Greens!!!

Tattooed in my memory...  

Lakers go up 2-0 vs the Barkley led Suns in a best of 5.  The Suns coach guarantees victory and no shit, they beat the damn Lakers 3 in a row.  That was the year they went all the way but lost to the Bulls.

Tatum turning his ankle 26 seconds into the game basically doomed the Celtics. Not sure they'd have beaten Miami anyway, but likely things would have unfolded differently if he were healthy and maybe they pull it off.

I think Denver in 5 in the finals.

I think this is where it ends for the heat. nuggets are going to have some rust, but…

I’m going with a Heat upset in game one. Maybe with Butler having a game in the spirit of Iverson’s game 1 against the Lakers in 2000. But then reality sets in and the Nuggets win in five or six. Hopefully that rust factor could keep Miami hanging around in game 1. But I just don’t see how they can contain Jokic for an entire series. Gonna be a long series for Bam.

Jokic gets his.  It's Murray that is the 2nd dose of lethal.

Jokic gets everyone involved too.

finally! sports again, tonight. it’s been a long three days.

Congratulations Mr  Jokic!!.. another European who rules in your game!!..

Wobbie

that was a rock fight of a game. amazing for the nuggets to win with those percentages from the line and from 3.

butler was non-existent, then on fire, then sealed it with a horrible pass and horrible shot.

yes, scidoo, the euros rule the NBA. joker should have won his 3rd MVP this year.

That was a terrific game, especially with how frenetic certain stretches of the third and fourth quarters were.

IM GLAD Denver won how they did. 

no super team in only a few coastal towns bullshit....mostly Draft picks developed over time

There are no superteams anymore.  I mentioned that wasn't a thing anymore a bit ago too.  I think those days are all over now unless Durant decides to go back to GS.

Congrats to Denver.

Murray thinks they can run it again.  I think they can too.

See ya'll next year.

You and me both.

Ja Morant out for the first 25 games of next season. I think that is an appropriate amount of games, maybe could have been more.
