Still riding high on the Nugs, can’t believe the same core that played game 83 and lost a close one to just barely miss the playoffs vs. the Jimmy Butler TWolves back in 2018 is now in the Finals. Also poetic considering I became a full on Nuggets fan after giving up on the Bulls for trading Jimmy and GarPax being pieces of shit (at that point I was also goin to 8-10 Nugs game a year and they’d been my second team since like ‘09 so it wasn’t exactly overnight).
Even last night I was still nervous that the Lakers could come back. Jokic getting back to back charges and playing on 5 fouls was terrifying. Their D stepped up when it needed to and what an awesome stop from AG/Murray to close it out.
I think they’ll match up well against either team at this point, but the Heat and Himmy scare me. Hoping the Nugs talent and the Moach being a capable coach can get them to the promiseland.
