    I said this way back during their 1st round against the Timberwolves:
    “People still sleeping on the Nuggets but they really have a great team: a perennial MVP who doesn’t need to score to be the best player with the most impact in the game, a guard who is ultra competitive and can suddenly score 50, a forward who wants to prove that he’s more than just an incredible dunker, a versatile player who is among the top elite 3 point shooters in the league, and a former champion who also plays his role perfectly. This is a dangeous team that will go deep. This isn’t just some regular season team. They’ve been here before. They know what it takes.”

    The most unorthodox thing about the Nuggets is that players would "look for" Jokic as the receiver in all sorts of situations that traditionally they would be looking for a guard, namely, after getting the rebound, after winning the scramble, setting up plays and controlling the pace. We have seen similar situations for some forwards up to a certain level, but never for centers and at this high level.

    As a Laker fan, I am not disappointed nor gonna point fingers. We played against a better team and a better superstar that is at his apex right now in Jokic. They have a fantastic team and is greatly coached.
    The Lakers I think found their answer in who to sign, who to run it back with for next season and what to do. It was a looonnng season with many highs and lows, just wasn't our year.
    I'd like to thank Lebron for doing his everything to carry this team. With his foot injury, if it was ANYONE ELSE, they prolly would've shut it down for the yr. Lebron is a LEGEND in my book.
