Honestly they had it. What are the chances Chet misses both FTs and then Gordon makes a 3? 1/1000?
No idea why OKC kept fouling instantly as the game wound down. Kept leaving enough time for something to go wrong, and it did.
Boston/New York and Steph vs Ant will somehow overshadow the top two MVP candidates but this might be the best 2nd round series.
3 for 3 in road team taking game 1 and Warriors have a more than decent chance to make it 4 for 4
That’s kind of the way not finishing with a lead always goes though.
I gave up on it and went to walk my dogs with Nuggets down 10 late 4th, couldn't believe score.
Usually I'd at least switch it to radio but was out with a group of people so I had no idea.
Of the fourth this one would be the only one that is truly surprising to me. I really don't think Denver looked sharp against Clippers or most of this game. I guess when a guy puts up 42 and 22 ho hum a lot of things are possible.
All of them could be great, Cavs/OKC/Celtics are not going to go down easy. These first round road wins basically guarantee 6/7 game series, no way any of them are 4/5. Cavs might have the most question marks of the three, I'd be surprised if Celtics don't bounce back emphatically. Denver had so many troubles closing out games until tonight I just can't see them running away even though I'm a fan.
Backup journeyman QB (Chase Daniel) or old vet on an the NBA bench are my dream jobs.
Give me the NBA every day. Pay is better and less head injuries.
For sure OKC is still the favorite in the series. Boston too. I think a common feeling for underdogs is game 1 is the easiest to steal on the road because you aren’t taken as seriously.
Both Boston and especially OKC choked these games away. I think OKC is the best team in the league, but they’ll need to prove it under pressure. Denver, or any future opponent, isn’t Memphis.

I would even do things that I don’t love for that type of money lol
