That's because the Nuggets only have like 4 NBA quality dudes on their roster right now.Seems like only Aaron Gordon came to play that game outside of Jokic. Everyone else was chucking bricks left and right.
Problem for the Nuggets is they already have 3 max contract guys and nobody is going to want to trade for Porter until/unless he proves his back is healthy.I wouldn't be surprised if some moves were made in the off-season. Especially if Jokic wins MVP, which if I'm being real, he should (even though I'd love to see Booker win).
With the Bucks and Suns getting to the Finals last season, the Lakers imploding, NY being a big disappointment, and the possibility of the Suns getting to the Finals yet again, my gut tells me that the days of "small market" teams being undesirable are numbered.
omg, shut upThe play-in is so fuckin' dumb.
20/30 teams in the postseason. What a joke.
NBA: 20/30 teams in the postseason
MLB: 12/30 teams in the postseason
NHL: 16/32 teams in the postseason
NFL: 14/32 teams in the postseason
It should never be more than half. Otherwise the regular season is meaningless.
It was epic, and a big reason why they changed it to a 7 game format for the first round. The memory of Mutumbo laughing and lying on the ground holding onto the basketball is disbelief is forever seared into my brain.First round in the NBA should go back to best of 5 at the very least. Remember when the Nuggets upset the SuperSonics in the first round in 1994? Heck, if 2003 was still the best of 5 format in the first round the Magic would've beat the Pistons.

Yeah CJ played like 40 min and they still manage to get closed at the 4th , just to show pops is a great coach , if he want to coach another year with the young core SA can make a moved in the off season and the draft. And they are back in playoff mode .Hornets and Spurs were shown the door.
