Hyped for Denver vs Miami - either Jokic or Jimmy gets a ring

ESPN’s 9/11

Congrats Nuggets Fans!

Lakers fans: is it just me or were those last two inbounds plays kind of dumb?

DynamixRo · 2023-05-23T03:15:52+00:00

Not gonna lie, was expecting an Austin Reaves three at the end there.

drinfernodds · 2023-05-23T03:28:51+00:00

Mark Jackson, Stephen A Smith, and Jeff Van Gundy all on suicide watch as we speak.

Mark Jackson is probably in the bathroom washing his mouth out with soap for acknowledging Nikola Jokic.

"Actually, I remember one time, we were playing against Denver, Conference Finals, and it was 3-0 to the Nuggets. And LeBron said, 'Guys, if you think we are good, let's prove it now.'"

"Did you come back?"

"Of course not. 4-0."

I know he was actually productive, but I knew this game was over the moment I saw Tristian Thompson have minutes tonight lmfao

motherseffinjones · 2023-05-23T03:24:00+00:00

One of the most entertaining sweeps I’ve watched

the day melo retires the nuggets make the finals for the first time in history. nba gods have a twisted sense of humor. (gg nugs fans rooting for you guys in the finals)

BUNSHICHl · 2023-05-23T03:18:28+00:00

Never want to hear another word of Jokic slander

AWall925 · 2023-05-23T03:15:01+00:00

Anthony Davis is a terrorist lmao

2023-05-23T03:26:56+00:00

Jackson shouldn't be talking about Jokic

Adam Silver contemplating everything right now

hansislegend · 2023-05-23T03:26:45+00:00

Either Denver wins their first chip or Jimmy Buckets wins his first chip. I wish they could both win.

Smarktalk · 2023-05-23T03:26:22+00:00

Going to my first NBA Finals game next week. Once in a lifetime more than likely.

C-Dawg2_0 · 2023-05-23T03:14:55+00:00

This will severely hurt the Lakers’ chances of winning the NBA Finals.

Most competitive sweep I’ve ever seen

u/MITWestbrook get in here!

Dust2chicken · 2023-05-23T03:14:54+00:00

Should the NBA have the Lakers and Nuggets redo their series in case it was a big fluke?

No disrespect to the Nuggets, I'm a firm believer that Denver sweeping them is a huge fluke and robs the Lakers of truly accomplishing what their capable of. I've spent the last few days in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire regular season watching the Lakers play great basketball it's just not fair.

If the Lakers lose again I will face that the Nuggets deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to the Lakers and the NBA.

homefree122 · 2023-05-23T03:14:47+00:00

AT LEAST MINNESOTA WON A GAME

okbrosurething · 2023-05-23T03:29:18+00:00

ESPN still giving the Lakers a 48% chance to win the championship

SanctusXCV · 2023-05-23T03:16:25+00:00

It was a good game by Denver and a good series overall. Good luck to Denver on the finals! You guys have a superstar and a team full of players that can be one in any given night

KeyExplanation · 2023-05-23T03:15:09+00:00

Respect to the Lakers for fighting hard until the end. A play-in team that once had a 0.2% chance to even make the playoffs made it to the conference finals and lost to the 1 seed. Can’t hate on that

maiev18 · 2023-05-23T03:15:09+00:00

How does this affect Lebron’s legacy?

Fr tho what a team that Nugget boys

sukari · 2023-05-23T03:26:51+00:00

Shoutout to Mike Malone, glad the org stuck with him.

ashlazy · 2023-05-23T03:16:19+00:00

Respect to this Lakers team for not phoning it in after going down 0-3. This team deserves their flowers for even reaching the WCF with a roster built after the All-Star Break.

Lol Ham complaining about the refs on the final play is fucking hilarious

lkodl · 2023-05-23T05:33:32+00:00

The year is 2003.

Carmelo Anthony has been drafted number 2 overall behind LeBron James.

Carmelo picks up the Monkey Paw and makes a wish:

"I wish for the Nuggets to sweep LeBron in the playoffs."

20 years later.

EDIT: holy shit i forgot about Darko.

AmbitiousPatio · 2023-05-23T03:46:24+00:00

I’m a laker fan but I’m even more mad that nikola didn’t win mvp now

lannistargaryen · 2023-05-23T03:15:02+00:00

We got swept but this season was awesome
