2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

Unpopular opinion here, I acknowledge that either of these teams is a threat if we don't play well, but I'm actually more wary of Minnesota's teamwide length and defensive presence than I am of Jokic ripping our offense apart.  The Wolves have the right team composition to put the Jays through hell for a series and I just don't think Denver has that.  Yes, Jokic is a problem, but I don't think that team can stop us.

Yeah, I have gone back and forth on this too. I was impressed by how Minny played against us earlier this season. They matched up well. Their length and athleticism caused us problems.

I like our experience advantage over Minny though.

Lack of experience isn't bothering Minny right now

Obviously.
The bright lights in the finals and the end of a long run is different then the second round. It’s not be all end all but it catches up to a lot of younger teams making there first finals appearance.

Let's hope so lol

Dallas vs Minnesota and Boston vs Indiana in the conference finals.

Just like everyone expected at the start of the season!

5-16 FGA entering Q4
Finished 6-24 FGA. So 1-8 FGA Q4.

6-24. Wasn't that Kobe's Gm 7 in 2010 Finals?

Yes, but he was 40 - 44 at the free throw line.

Well I had Denver vs OKC in the WCF so wrong on both counts.

Minnesota vs Dallas. That will be fun.

I flubbed the same too.  Didn’t see it.

It’s absolutely wide for Boston

Denver is dead

Knicks are dead

Adam Silver is dead

Bang the gong, Woooooooooo!!!!

YES SIR!

happy birthday my boy KG!

Fully expect this board to be flooded with Minnesota is our worst matchup.  Truth is, the defending champs were the biggest threat. Minnesota can beat Boston, no question. But Denver was fear #1 and they are out.

It started up after Game 2 then disappeared. Denver is good but just not like last season. If you lose a playoff game by 45 points you probably aren’t a championship team.

Just like everyone expected at the start of the season!

Minny. Indiana, and Dallas with just 1 title among them.

That was some crazy D by the Wolves!  Gobert and Reid were monsters.  When Gobert hit that fadeaway shot block beater they had to be feeling good! Longest shot I’ve seen hit.

[Neurotic Guy]

Wow did Jokic give up there.

I don't recall ever seeing a team give up like that, down 7 with 33 seconds to go. Jokic bends over and puts his mouthpiece in his sock.

I thought play stopped for some reason. Game was not over.  Bad look. Even Jokic’ final drive - was casual. Could have saved 5 seconds and shot a 3.

That was an epic choke job by Denver

1 seed in west -done

One of those teams doesn't belong. We should handle Indiana in 5 games.

I honestly think the mavs are better than you are giving them credit for.
