At the end of the 3rd.

Kendrick Perkins says you're racist.

Good thing he didn’t win the MVP again…..

The anti-Jokic discourse over the past two months there to somehow push a vote Embiid's way was certainly something.

I believe that is because no one watches Nuggets games until now

I watch them all the time because this guy is one of the greatest basketball players ever. A true basketball genius. Perhaps everyone will realize it now.

Denver should be doubling LeBron in the post. He can take every guard they have there, even at his age.

Lakers are playing much better defense now and Denver is still making prayers to maintain the lead. If they continue this effort into game 2 though...

Fast five has gotten so damn ridiculous

Murray is 12 for 18 (4 for 6 from three). Not beating this team too often when that happens.

Denver pulling away now.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Draymond Green told me that he believes the Warriors would still be playing if it wasn’t for the incident between him and Jordan Pool <a href="https://t.co/B9txJCl0OY">pic.twitter.com/B9txJCl0OY</a></p>&mdash; Stephen A Smith (@stephenasmith) <a href="https://twitter.com/stephenasmith/status/1658664833464651776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 17, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

So based on what he says here, I guess Draymond thinks if he got to beat up Poole more during the season instead of just before it, they would have done better?

What!?

Yeah, this is a pretty classic 'what can ya do...' game.

Denver doesn't lose games with this many guys playing this well and Jokic being Jokic.

I mean credit to LA for staying pretty feisty throughout.

Wait, Lebron has been to 12 conference finals but only has 4 titles? Is that correct?

What do you mean what? Jokic, Porter, and Murray have each hit threes/long 2s over the past six minutes with guys hanging all over them. If you keep up this 2nd half effort in game 2, the Lakers have a solid chance.
