Is anyone surprised the Jazz are managing to slowly take over this series against the Nuggets? Donovan Mitchell is quietly putting up a superb playoff run so far.

Predicted the Jazz to take the Nuggets down in 6. Just never saw Denver as a true threat in the West.

Jazz/Mavericks, two lower-seeded teams in the West could be a fun matchup.

Someone needs to run a DNA test of Luka because pretty sure there is some Bird in there..wow...he is amazing...Tatum vs Luka would be a great final series....

I've seen so many players compared to Bird over the years and not one of them was Bird like, until now. Luka has a very Bird-like game.

This tweet from The Bob Ryan says it all...

Yeah, how so many teams past him over I'll never know.

Trading him away on draft night is going to haunt the Hawks forever.

Close one tonight between the Jazz and Nuggets. Denver running out of chances to prove themselves.

Well at least it's not a Sam Bowie situation. :D

Trading doncic was the dumbest move possibly in nba history

Doncic is still very young. Can you imagine what he will look like in his prime

This Jazz/Nuggets game is great. I’m glad we took Tatum but Mitchell is amazing as well.

He's not garbage, but when you're talking about a guy on the path of being a top-10 all-time talent vs a guy who will hover around top-5 PG in the league for his career, it's a big gap

The Nuggets' defense on Mitchell is awful.  They're just letting him get downhill over and over again, and Jokic, for all of his skill, isn't exactly a rim protector.  This is just a layup drill for him.  And his jumpshot is locked on?  Forget it.  Nuggets have nothing for him.

Yeah, Jokic is basically just watching him do his thing

I just don't think they have a closer, though Jamal Murray scored 46 for them today.

Donovan Mitchell's amazing playoff performance being overshadowed by Lukapoolza.

Wouldn't mind seeing the two of them face off in the 2nd round.

Murray dropped 50. 50/11/7.

The Jazz are my "second team" outside of the C's and as soon as I saw them matched up with the Nugs I was ecstatic. I've never thought the Nuggets to be all that they're cracked up to be. Especially in the playoffs.

Mitchell is a special, special dude. I would love to see Jazz/Mavs in round two for Luka vs Mitch.

It is a huge gap. I remember being dumbfounded when the Hawks moved Doncic. It is no slight against Trae. Doncic could possibly be better than Lebron and a shade behind MJ.
