Another era has passed, rest and enjoy the retirement Melo. I still remember that time when he's struggling with his last seasons that no team wants to take him in.

Jimmy is sending the message to Horford that you don't do this to them and as well as to MJ's son. 

I am not sure as well what is the problem with the Celtics. I am sure the players are not lacking since they have played well in the first two games of the series. Maybe this is just the difference between the two coaches. This is just the first year of Joe Mazzulla coaching versus a veteran coach, Erik Spoelstra. I did not expect the Celtics to have this performance after a very exciting series they had against Philadelphia. Very uncharacteristic for the Celtics to lose this bad.

Anyway, stats will tell us that it will be the Nuggets vs the Heat in the Finals. I hope, Jimmy Butler still has a lot on his tank because the Nuggets will be a huge undertaking. They are healthy and they have very strong bench players. I think if Bam and Jimmy will stay healthy, they can give a good fight, but it will still be Nugget's year.


This is what is great for this team. We should give credit to the coach for bringing out the best out of their undrafted players. They contributed a lot in getting the Heat this far in the playoffs. Key players are out because of injuries but the bench players are playing like they are an all-star.

Because they are playing on their home court, it's expected that they will win. However, we are now in Game 4 where the Lakers are 0-3. Even if the Lakers win, it's challenging to defy history as no team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit. Currently, they are leading and having a great start, but the question remains: Can it last?

The king is taking over. He has already scored 31 points in the first half, shooting an impressive 11-13 from the field and making all four of his three-point attempts. It's evident that this is shaping up to be his night. However, it is important to hope that the Nuggets won't spoil it in the second half. The current score stands at 58-73. Given the Nuggets' ability to stage comebacks, it is crucial for the team to maintain a strong and relentless performance as if there's no tomorrow. Considering that LeBron has played the full first half,  he might experience some fatigue in the final quarter.

Yeah, it's not 4th quarter and let's see if Lebron has still some in this gas tank to win this game. At least one so that they won't be sweep in the Western conference finals.

And it's the same problem though, Nuggets becoming the 3rd quarter team. But let's see how it goes, plenty of time for the Lakers to make a run.

The lead is cut to 2 points now, 10 minutes to go.

Edit: 5-0 run at the start of the 4th, scored is tied.

And there's the sweep. Zero is real. Great job to the Nuggets for playing the most unselfish basketball I've ever seen. They really deserve to become the Western Conference champion. They've already made history. They will probably make more in the next days.

On the other hand, Lebron missed the two most crucial possessions. That was how they lost. I understand he is already fatigued for playing long enough. I saw Murray holding that ball and I thought a strong Lebron could have easily overpowered him and have taken that ball to the basket and score.

Yes! From the looks of it, my Denver Nuggets might really win the championship. They are super strong with Nikola Jokic around and Murray, the roleplayers like Gordon, MPJ, KCP, and Bruce Brown are also doing great. Embiid may have taken the season MVP but Jokic might get two MVP's if ever they win the championship.
The Lakers changed their rotation by inserting Tristan Thompson but it's still not enough to win. They should've made that decision sooner and gave him the opportunity to defend Jokic. Lakers will probably stick with what they have now because they are actually creating a good chemistry.

That's the best thing they have to do. Russell is a highly paid player, so they can find someone who is more consistent than him. It doesn't need to be an NBA star; they need someone who can allow the organization to develop their game and who loves to play defense, unlike Russell, who isn't good at defense. Reaves is probably the most consistent player on the Lakers roster, aside from LeBron, as he can really contribute on a nightly basis

Russel became their problem on Nuggets series since he didn't show up some good contribution to help his team. Maybe its good for them to trade him and find more better wing that can help then on offense and defense. For sure they can get more better as Russel still have a value as a player.

But even though Lakers has been sweep by denver we can still commend these guys for giving a good fight with nuggets they didn't give up and show their heart they should bounce back next season since they still have that rooster which can help them to get another championship run next season.

are we going to see two sweeps in Conference finals
Nuggets got their job done over Lakers, 4:0, without any match that was that close, real domination

on the other side, Heat is up 3:0 and close to finish job tonight, really unexpected stuff this season, and while Nuggets were top spot team on the West, Miami started from play-in and managed to get one step from winning Conference finals, Jimmy Butler at his best
