Nuggets fan since I was a kid. Nuggets would make the playoffs as a 8 seed. Get swept by Lakers. That scenario happened often. It is amazing the Nugs are in the Finals! Sweeping would have been awesome! Now just winning the NBA championship will have to do!

Whoever number 27 on the nuggets was failing hard giving open threes fouling multiple times that led to free throws and then trying to be the hero at the end of the game and missing the three pointer. Sad
Jimmy owns Bam 😹😹😹
Basketball is the worlds Greatest Game! Or maybe they are all great.
I can’t wait until China put pressure on America, because all USA do is mess over their citizens behind money and the NBA is a part of it with all the scams that they do

The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
