    So fucking jealous.

    Felt the same way when Giannis and the Bucks did it too.

    Pretty good run by both teams. You gotta hand it to Miami that was an improbable playoff run.
    Denver was a dominant team this year. Jokic is making a legacy for himself and it’s great to be able to witness.

    So after Malone wins his 1st ring, when do they fire him?

    Wow. Jokic: : "The job is done. Now we can go home." For me, three lunch bucket guys won this series: Jokic, Brown and Gordon.

    Denver and the west were so much better. I thought this might be a sweep but 4-1 is still pretty dominant.

    I wonder how the Lakers/Suns would've faired against Miami?

    If Milwaukee was healthy and playing at their peak I think they could've competed against any west team. But Philly/Miami/Boston all just seem to be pretenders.

    Congrats to Nuggets and Jokic.

    Do the Suns feel any better now winning two games against the Nuggets?

    TWolves 1 win
    Lakers 0 wins
    Heat 1 win

    I’m happy for them. They got their first and I’m hoping our guys will be hungry for our second next year.

    I don't know but regardless if it was the correct call or not, they need to alter the rule. It has gotten way out of hand. They make it way more difficult to guard a 3-point shot compared to other shots

    A healthy Denver team could win 2-4 more Rings

    A reporter asked Jokic about the Parade on Thursday . He said "Parade", " I want to go home". I do hope he stays. When The Broncos won their 1st it was amazing. We lined the route down 17th street to Broadway. Then went to the City and County Building, where an estimated crowd of 1 million people gathered. It was completely packed from the County Building to the State Capital. A sea of humanity. I will never forget it. I never got down to Downtown Portland in '77. I watched the game, but was new to the team. Jokic should not miss this celebration. It will be a rewarding one for him.
