It's a very early game on Saturday. You stay in your own bed as long as you possibly can. If Denver wins then you jump on a plane and sleep in Denver Saturday night. If San Antonio wins smile and get some more rest in your own bed.

Im good with that, I just read about how Houston was handling it and thought, well thats interesting.
 
Spurs/Nugs might be the most boring, understated series in recent memory. They're going to Game 7 and no one seems to care.

Two most disrespected teams in the playoffs. Almost all their games were on NBATV and played while other teams were on national broadcasts. No body talks about either team.

It has to be frustrating for the #2 seeded team to get slighted that much. I don't care about either team, but it still was stupid how much they were dumped on a network not everyone gets.

No star power or compelling narrative with either team. Yes I know Jokic/Derozan are all stars, but both are largely unknown still. Sucks for them, but we've been there.

If Lebron had Jokic's statline last night (even in a loss) that is "Amazing" and all over every sports network...
 
Apparently, the Rockets are heading to Oakland TODAY to prepare for a Game 1 this weekend IF the Warriors win tonight. If that isn't a jinx, I don't know what is. That'd be hilarious if the Rockets attended Game 7 (if there is one) almost to taunt the Warriors.

Game 7? Gotta go with Pop and vets like LA and DeRozan, even if it’s in Denver. Experience matters.

Pop is only 3-3 all time in Game 7. DeRozen is 2-0 though. Aldridge has never been in a Game 7. Only Nuggets to play in a Game 7 are Millsap and Isaiah Thomas.

But Denver has not won a game 7 in a bunch of years. Got to go with Pops on this game. Like Shaq says. Too much experience and too much system.

Everyone saying Aminu but Stotts used Meyers quite a bit on him also last game.

I know he's gotten a lot better under Pops, but LA use to wilt against smaller defenders. Or, anybody that had an ounce of toughness. Today's Dame could effectively guard POR-version LA. We have at least 4 players that can be effective against him - Aminu, Collins, Meyers, and Skal. I'm not worried about LA. Derozan/Gay and a couple role players are the ones who might sneaky beat us. With Gay playing off the bench we might have to stagger Moe a bit more. That is, if we end up playing SAS...

Jokic has a perception problem. He looks like hot garbage whenever I watch him play, but he somehow manages to rack up big numbers. He's like the ultimate transcript stuffer.

Watch him more. He's dominant -- it's not empty stats.

I've yet to see it, and I've seen several other people say the same thing. I said he has a perception problem, not that he isn't good.

I think his perception problem is he doesn't look athletic, doesn't really do anything "exciting", exceptionally skilled though.
