Quote from: Roy H. on May 19, 2023, 07:33:46 AMI love Mike Malone.QuoteMichael Malone: “You win Game 1 of the playoffs, and all everybody talked about was the Lakers. Let’s be honest, that was a national narrative: The Lakers were fine. They’re down 1-0 but they figured something out. No one talked about that Nikola had a historic performance. He’s got 13 triple-doubles now. Third all-time. What he’s doing is just incredible, but the narrative wasn’t about the Nuggets. The narrative wasn’t about Nikola. The narrative is about the Lakers and their adjustments. So you put that in your pipe, you smoke it, you come back and you know what, we’re going to go up 2-0.” Translation: "Eff you, ESPN"

NBA.com just put 1 hour of highlights of "Playoff Jimmy"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tWsDhnx7dk
which team down 0-2 is more likely to win the series? LA is at home the next 2 while Boston goes to Miami for the next 2, but I still think Boston is more likely to win the series as I do think Boston pretty clearly has more talent than Miami.
This Denver team would’ve destroyed us. I just have to keep telling myself that. But with their size and Joe’s lack of adjustments, I think this could’ve been ugly.
