Everyone is so surprised but should you be?  Denver has been one of the top teams in the west for the past 2 years.  Jokic is a top 5-10 player in the league, murray is one of the top young players in the league, Porter would have been a no1 or no2 draft pick but slid cause of an injury in college and the team is real deep.  And to top it off they play both ends of the court strong.  I wont be surprised if they knock off the lakers and eventually win the chip.  Go nugs.

Or Denver at 6? That would be a bigger surprise. Isn't it?

would be quite a surprise, but i do not expect it
Lakers a bit better than Clippers, and certainly have more experience to calmly bring the game to the end, Clippers found out that securing a win after +15 is not that easy as it look like when you speak about it

They really are the most surprising team right now in the Playoffs. Went 1-3 against Jazz and won the series 4-3 and then went 1-3 against the Clippers again and then won again 4-3.
I could agree with that, but in the Jazz series, I think they were the slight favorite to win, but the come back was really amazing, imagine , down 1-3 and came back to win, I think that was also because of Harris who adds value to the defensive side.

Do you expect the same scenario against the Lakers?? I don't think that this will happen again. Lakers in 6 Smiley

What a defensive block from Bam.
~
Some are saying that it is a Goaltending but its already obvious that it is a clean block coming from Bam. He is just worthy of being put in an all-defensive team Smiley

This is just Game 1 of the series between them but it already went to Overtime. Its just shows that these 2 teams are a match and this will go to 6-7 games I think in favor of Miami Tongue.

Nuggets you really surprise us, that was a big win, you did it twice already in the playoffs.

The most surprising team in the NBA now.
From the start of the playoffs, the Clippers are the top pick to win an NBA championship. Now they got choked in Game 7. When they have the chance to create history in the Clippers franchise, they didn't won on the game.

Their star players Kawhi and PG13 got choked all throughout the game scoring just 24 points for the 2 players. On the other hand, Murray shined and got 40 points and got the victory and will fight the Lakers in the WCF.

Denver shines again in the second half, Murray and Jokic step up with their teammates whp supported them all the way.

It's another 3-1 comeback from  them, very interesting to see if how they will face the favorite Lakers, Underdog type of challenge
once again for them. Congrats to Denver welcome to WCF finals.

That 2nd half was really amazing and so was the 1st quarter.
Jokic became the playmaker. They cannot even steal the ball from him by just putting it so high, arms stretched.
You cannot call the game an error from the Clippers. They defended well but the offense is just better with Jokic handling everything.
Murray is everywhere, he just keep running without the ball on his hand and it's a good thing to avoid turnovers.

Both team did good, Nuggets is just better in their chemistry. They trusted their big man to make good decisions.
My team won and my bet won. I love this game.



That's true, I can see the double on Jokic that's why he is just limited in offense in that game, but he was able to contribute in the other factor which is the passing. I wonder what can he do against the Davis, I think he is smarter than Davis but Davis was just way more athletic.

I want Clippers to win but also there's the force that's pushing me want to see Nuggets win.
All right, the game's done. Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets for winning their series. No LA vs LA this time.

Their next matchup is with Lakers and this won't be a question anymore, the majority will be eyeing for the Lakers.

But I don't think that they'll be able to do the same thing against Lakers.
Urgh! It's really frustrating to be honest. I thought Clippers will advance and able to see a Beverly vs James drama again. *sigh But props to Denver. They really did a great job. Coming back from a 1-3 once maybe considered lucky, but doing the same thing again was already beyond that. No luck, just pure hustle. Let us see if they can beat the All Star Team Grin.

But actually, I'm not doubting them anymore. They prove to us that they had the heart of a champion. They surely have the chance to beat Lakers and advance to The Finals.

Please do the same with the Lakers. haha..
Haha. It is really surprising of what Denver did against La Clippers. Just one win away and they've lost the entire series, too bad that La Clippers lost and Denver swiped them with that very one last game that they need.

But I don't think that they'll be able to do the same thing against Lakers.

We will see, if they can. LBJ all the way.

Murray was so unstoppable, if the Clippers can't stop him, I think the Lakers would also struggle doing that.
He could be a Finals MVP if they will beat the Lakers will get to the NBA finals.

I have previously said, Clippers should be a four quarter team, but what happened again? Good up until the first half and then collapses again. And they can't stop Murray, so much for the LA vs LA now. But they are going to face Lakers, a very different team and I would say a defensive team as well. They might pull some surprises, but I doubt that Lakers will allow this to happen specially with Tron and Davis.


yeah, congrats to Denver, they pulled three wins in a row, but do think that this is on Clippers to think what they let happened
this game was a bit different in a way that Clippers did not control any part of it, but it was expected, since they lost fifth and sixth after control in first two quarters and good difference in third, Denver would come back, but Clippers game goes down in both of these matches

Murray was great last night, but Jokic as well, 22 rebounds, and another triple double for him

I'm seeking with 80's rivalries Boston vs Lakers hahaha..
How about the other team, Nuggets vs Heat? didn't you see it happening? lol.. .

I Like how the Heat did in the first game, they gave a good fight against the Celtics and that was a thrilling game, very satisfying to watch as a fan.

GL with your Nuggets bet.

They might surprise the Lakers here, who knows...

What a defensive block from Bam.

Really a very intense game between Miami and Boston, went to over time Butler shows his heroic again, I was with Boston
but Bam makes the big dot.  Hope to see more of this kind of a game. Congrats Heat's fans!

Herro is also playing well.

As the youngest player in the playoffs, he's just amazing. 11 rebs and 9 asts and 12 points, just great. Then there's also the back to back three of him and Jimmy Butler. That made me stand though despite my bet on the loss, this game is really amazing.

Honestly Clippers got soooooo much criticism for even allowing the series to go to 7

What's the problem of the others if the series got to Game 7?

Been browsing in some NBA community forums and even reading lots of comments from NBA related pages but I don't see much criticism for the Clippers just because the series went to Game 7. Any source for this random criticism comments?

Those who criticized, as you mentioned maybe just a group of people who only watched the NBA during the playoffs to Finals. It's a disrespect for the Denver Nuggets to be considered as no chance to win at some of their matchup against the Clippers on their series.
The mistake of the users here (including me) is that we predicted even though the game isn't started and yes we underestimated the Nuggets at first since we know that the Clippers are stronger compare to them in terms of the roster.

Now we are wrong with it and they forced to have a Game 7 again after down 3-1 like what happened to the them in the first round. Its a Do-or-Die match. I like to bet though but I don't know which team will I bet too. I'm thinking of Nuggets but I like to see Clippers making history today Cheesy.

Who's excited yet can't decide to bet?

I am excited. Too much actually.  Wink
Of course, it will be Nuggets for me. I am not the bandwagon type that will suddenly be a fan of a strong Clippers team.  Grin
So Nuggets ML for me but I cannot decide which team with Celtics and Miami.
It's just too difficult as both teams are really good and this will be their first time to match up in the Finals after so long.
IIRC, it was both big threes or not? Memories are a little cloudy.
Just few more hour and we'll get to see the last battle for these both great teams. I'll spare and skip the first other game of Miami and Celtics. I think I'll be for the Nuggets and Clippers first, I want Clippers to win but also there's the force that's pushing me want to see Nuggets win.

You are right, most of those "fans" are actually those people that is not a fan of the game. They are just those bandwaggons that ride the hype during the playoffs, for the clout as they said it. Most of them just know Paul George and Kawhi Leonard on that team and would surely switch sides when Denver Nuggets win the series.

Edit: Most of the comments I've seen we're in Facebook but you all know how toxic that platform is.

Well, that's how some fans are, different kind of fans, some even love basketball because their favorite player is Michael Jordan although the legend has already retired a long time ago, but that what makes the NBA popular because of these people too.

Going back to the game, looks like a low scoring game. Celtics already in the lead now with 18-26 in the first quarter.

Marcus smart already in double digit while Jimmy only had 2 points.
