Lakers hit a brick wall in the 3rd, turning a 15 point lead into a 5 point deficit
Awful third, this lead was up to 17, which is even worse. Refs didn't do them any favors either.
Tristan Thompson is playing well. He should of been in the earlier in the series.

30 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks for Jokic.
Fucking cash money.

Ant, KAT, and Gobert?
Durant, Booker, Paul, and Ayton?
LeBron and AD?
Joker and Murray cooked 'em all. Come and get yours, Butler and Bam.

Fair weather? We've sucked for all eternity. If we were fair weather fans they'd have moved the Nugs 30 years ago.

Lakers going forward I think have a good team if they can hold onto Lebron, AD, Reaves, Hachimura and Schroder. They need to come up with a plan for Lebron though because for them to have a chance he shouldn't be playing more than 20-25 minutes a night next season. They actually looked really good when he was injured towards the end of the season and missed those 15 or so games. That was the first time I have ever seen one of his teams play good without him. Add a piece that takes a lot of load of Lebron and they could have something with another 12 months to build the chemistry.
Really though, it's very obvious now that this league is all about Giannis, Joker and Embiid. This year was probably the last gasp for the old guard of Lebron, Steph, KD, Harden and Kawhi.

Fuck the Lakers. Congrats to Fami's Nugs.
The only reason they snuck in to the finals was their side of the bracket was two young teams that imploded and a Dubs team having their season from hell. They would've been beaten by the Suns or the Clips. And that's with LeBron and AD largely staying healthy for the playoff stretch (which is unlikely to repeat itself) and role players balling out (unlikely to repeat itself, barring maybe Austin Reaves who they'll have to pay starter money). This was their shot and the Nugs clowned them even with the refs desperately trying to assist in Game 3.
Not to mention LeBron looked rough for most of the series. He looked exhausted and was just chucking late in games. 38-yo LeBron is still better than most of the league but he just can't go 82+ and play both sides of the ball anymore. They need a lot of help and the free agent class this offseason isn't exactly brimming with championship caliber players. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if he bailed after next season to try to chase one more ring with a contender. He's ghosted better teams than this.

Probably for real basketball fans, but most casual watchers will likely skip it.

Nugs in 5. Heat don't have any size and they love to double team the ball carrier -- Jokic and Murray will slice them up with passes if they try that shit against the Nuggets.

Ty Lue hasn't been fired by the Clippers and nobody is mentioning him as a finalist for the Suns.
Shams has the same list as Woj except with Vogel on it too.
