^^ Among the teams still having a shot at the chip, I probably like the Twolves the most besides Miami.

Minnesota reminds me a little bit of Kobe's team

Conley (veteran pg) - DFish
Gobert - Bynum
KAT - Pau
Ant - mini Kobe

Interesting predictions.

I give the Nuggets the edge to repeat. Efficient, defend, rebound, score, mismatches, and have that championship confidence. They will be a tough out in any series.

Wolves next.

Celtics should come out of the East, but being there is different than winning it all. No confidence that changes as they find a way to lose once again. Overly biased opinion of course! lol

Geez....Timberwolves and Celtics will be nowhere close to beating the Nuggets. Neither team has the championship DNA nor execution that Denver does. If you like defense and size, you would have picked the Celtics over the Warriors in 2022 as well but what was the difference? Execution and championship DNA/Intangibles. And Denver is a much stronger champion than that GSW squad of 2022

Denver is vulnerable.. We've had them in every first half..

Denver makes adjustments.. We dont.. Any decent coach will adjust and be able to close out the game..

Thats the difference.

Denver is not THAT good. We are just that bad

Oh no...Damian Lillard went down, grabbed at his left knee and then limped off, putting very little weight on his left leg.

Yikes. Good thing they won in 2021. I feel bad for Lillard, though. Looked like a non-contact injury too. Pacers should win any game that doesn't have Giannis or Dame.
