    Yep. Miami has taken Denver out of their game. If Miami makes their shots, they’ll sweep. I liked Heat in 7 before this game started but now I don’t see how Denver wins 3 games. Keep in mind, Miami beat Giannis/Lopez. They can beat Gordon.

    Well I'd say if the Nuggets sweep the Heat it would be some evidence to my claims, but yeah most of these opinions on this site are impossible to prove or disprove.

    Miami will win the series. Once Herro comes back, it’s over. Gotta play Kevin Love too.

    Nuggets has one all star.

    I find it amusing I don't see Blazer fans drooling after any Nuggets player in acquisition discussions. I'm sure there's a few here and there but in general, no one is saying, "Let's get KCP, let's get Bruce Brown, let's get MPJ. . . "

    Exactly. A few wanted Gordon, but even more, did not like him at all.

    Jamal Murray is pretty fucking good. But Jokic is arguably the best player in basketball right now. He’s LeBron at center.

    I've heard a lot of people wanting Bruce Brown now and back to when he was on the Nets.

    The Nuggets just seem extremely unlikely to trade anybody when they're likely to be the champs. Plus their star is such a huge key to their success. The other rotation players while fine players don't seem like they elevate that team on their own and likewise wouldn't make a large difference to the Blazers.

    I was hoping the Blazers would get Brown before he went to Denver.
