Many of you are under-rating this Nuggets team because they coasted down the stretch. Remember this team swept the Warriors 3-0, and gave the Warriors 2 of their 8 home losses.

The Nuggets just defeated the full-strength Celtics & Bucks convincingly, and took 2 of 3 against the full-strength Grizzlies. They also won in Sacramento, and swept the Cavs and Clippers.

The Nuggets are a Top 3 team when games matter. They will be healthy, rested, and will not be coasting in the playoffs, Don't bet against them.

They're also 2-2 against the Lakers team BEFORE the trade deadline.

If LA gets the number 8 seed, I don't see the Nuggets pulling off the series win.

Georges Niang is just unplayable in the playoffs.

Sixers should have just decided to sit everybody. Defensive intensity isn’t there and Harden and Embiid just seem to be going through the motions. Embiid is just 2-4 from the line. Both total and percentage scream disinterested. Playing games at less than full speed and intensity is when you set yourself up for injury.

When I saw the score I assumed they weren’t playing

The Heat would be a pain in the ass. Especially if Herro can get in that streaky zone. That’s why I’m all go Nets right now haha. I still think Philly in 6 or 7. Heat aren’t magically gonna shoot like this through a series. The Heat will still find a way to beat the Heat. I don’t have to tell you such things. But I know you are a busy man, so Don Pat Riley, I will leave you to your delusions now.

It’s just lethargy ball. Turnovers. Harden looks like he’s never seen a zone. No defensive intensity. Nobody has even attempted to fight through a screen. Just a meh nothing effort. They need to get Embiid and Harden out. This shit is when you get injured.

Are they really locked in at 3? I though they could have passed boston

I’m quitting on this game and watching Jersday with wifey. Good game @bksballer89 . Would be pretty solid if you guys could give Bucks or Celtics all they could handle for me.

I hope Embiid and Harden don’t see anything more than 5-6 minutes of this second half.

Yep either play to your fullest or sit. That’s when players get injured

Bucks would mop the floor with us. I think we can make boston sweat a little

I think any Boston loses scenario they have 2 games in a series with a WTF shooting percentage from 3. They’re tough. They’re very deep and on any given night they can find 2 hot shooters alongside Tatum/Brown. I hate them but I respect what they’ve built.
