Denver Nuggets (official thread)

[Jagdaddy]

The Nugs did not just steal that game from OKC like that! OKC clearly the superior team, but somehow game 1 goes to the Nuggies.

OKC is the better team overall, but the Nuggets are a tough matchup for them (when the Nuggets aren't being loose with the ball) because they can pound them on the boards and get transition buckets. Gordon seems to have finally gotten back to full speed, after a season of recurring nagging injuries, over the last week to ten days, and they're playing much stronger defense than they did for most of the season. I still expect OKC to win the series (my pre-series prediction was 6 games), but it's a tough matchup.

Having a star, who has already won it all, like Jokic is a real x-factor. Also having Murray and Gordon who have made a title run with him really help.

Should be a great series.

Game 2 is one of the most epic ass whoppings in the history of sports. It’s like a Mike Tyson knockout in the first 10 seconds of round 1.
