    Denver is going to win its first championship. Neither the Heat or the Celtics can stop then

    If he loses this series now it won’t be long.

    I'm thinking James Harden will be a Laker next season. They like famous players in Los Angeles, it doesn't matter if they're getting over the hill.

    Butler with undrafted players vs One All-Star Team in Jokic will meet in the Finals. Simply Amazing

    Same with Spo. It's the new way in the nba, you don't win the title, you're fired!

    For the MLE? Don't see why he'd give up that money when Houston will match him.

    And if you win the finals your fired two years later.

    Frank Vogel
    Nick Nurse
    Mike Budenhouser

    Won 3 most recent titles prior to last season, all fired.

    IDK?
    Nuggets fans stayed with George Karl for 9 years without a Championship. Seems like the smaller Market teams like Portland, Utah (Sloan) Denver might stay with their coach a bit longer. Though they could get restless if he looks to be missing out on Jokic's best years.

    Look at shooting percentages from Lakers last night...
    Denver shot nearly 50%fg & 40% 3's.

    Only one other 8 seed has made the conference finals. I don’t think they did.
