The Nuggets are sneaky good. Still a long shot that they win this series, but it's gotten a little closer. If Jokic, Murray, and team can consistently unlock that next gear like they did tonight, they could become the champs.
I do think FiveThirtyEight is right that the Celtics are the favorites, though.
So true. I am happily rooting for the Raptors. Funny, I bear them no grudge only good sport, good will. I definitely bear grudges toward the Rockets and Harden even though the Warriors were the better team.

It's too bad with Harden. I'm not a fan, obviously it has benefited the Warriors, but it's still just a cool thing from a NBA fan big picture perspective if he at least had some kind of great playoff moment. Even in a loss.
He's had three really amazing opportunities the last three years. Can you beat the Warriors without CP3? Can you beat the Warriors without KD and then go on to the Finals? Can you carry this Rockets team past the LeBron and AD?
The funny thing is he really shot himself in the foot by demanding the Westbrook trade. If they were playing this small ball style with CP3's shooting and playmaking? Nasty. Not sure the Lakers guards could hold up. Not to mention they might have been able to get another piece with the players they sent out.

Omg this game is everything I hoped for.

It should be Lebron that covers Kawhi but we know he ain't gonna bother.
Also 2015 semifinals, Harden was benched while the Rox overcame a 20-something point deficit against the clippers lol
Kawhi looks like he wants this series over today
This game 7 is gonna be HECTIC

All that AND you drop a Skankin' Pickle reference at the end? Nice!
