OT: Other Sports: Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies, etc...Part VI

[JWK]

When 1 of your 3 max player struggled, the other 2 stepped up and then the 1 that was struggling took over late in the game for the win. No one is beating this team 4 times.

Big credit to the bench as well.

 

[GeoRox89]

I am speechless. No words

The neighbour is glad I am too or I might’ve woken her up yelling loud enough to hear it through the walls

 

[Hasbro]

What an amazing time for Jamal to start sinking them again! What a win!!!!

Just playing with the Lakers.

 

[GeoRox89]

Just playing with the Lakers.

Finding ways to do it as dramatically as possible

 

[The Merchant]

HOLY f***ING SHIT!!!!!

 

[Markster]

Clearly not an All-Star......

 

[The Moops]

lol Lakers

So the Nugs have amazing star players but a rubbish bench because they keep losing 3rd quarters big time and I guess that's when all the benchers come on, right?

No, all four bench guys had a positive plus/minus tonight and the bench generally plays the beginning of the 2nd and 4th quarters.

 

[JWK]

Jokic have been trying to get this call for years and never gotten it, but thankfully Gordon and MPJ saved it. Play of the game other than Murray's shot

 

[Pokecheque]

Wow.

 

[The Merchant]

 

[Grackle Party]

Lebron throwing a hissy fit about the refs in the post game is predictable. That’s all he’s got after blowing two huge leads…

 

[Ararana]

Murray is f***ing awesome. I'm glad Denver at least has the Nuggets this postseason.

Where did this take about 3rd quarters come from? It hasn’t been the story in this series. The last 5 minutes of the 3rd was when they took over game 1 and last night they’d narrowed the largest gap by half by the end of the 3rd. Whatever happened in the regular season doesn’t matter anymore.

The bench players weren’t the problem last night. Jamal not being able to make anything until into the 4th was a huge part, leaving Russell open to keep draining 3s was also a huge part and to a lesser extent Joker not making anything from the field for (almost?) 2 quarters after a great first didn’t help

I don't know, that's what my buddies keep telling me because of what happened in the regular season.

I don't know, that's what my buddies keep telling me because of what happened in the regular season.

It was a recurring issue for parts of the regular season but the playoffs are a whole different thing.

In the regular season the starters play roughly 30 minutes and guys like DeAndre Jordan, Zeke Nnaji, Julian Strawther, Collin Gillespie. Jalen Pickett, Jay Huff, Braxton Key, and Hunter Tyson were being mixed in with the main rotation.

In the playoffs the starters play roughly 40 minutes and the only bench guys who figure to play significant minutes most nights are Braun, Watson, Jackson, and Holiday. That means a minimum of 1 starter is always on the floor and the bench guys have fewer minutes to manage among a better group of guys.

 

[Bonzai12]

The TNT dudes just get it. This is scorching criticism of the Lakers and finally some super recognition for Joker’s game. If ya missed the post-game this was really good!

I’ve decided Anthony Davis looks like an insect. Like a grasshoppers’ head blown up to 1000x

Plus, Lebron might be the biggest bitch to ever be in the conversation of “best ever” in any sport.

What a bitch

What a bitch

It’s super close between him and Brady…..but I do think LeBron takes the ultimate diva award.

Brady was always a bitch and I loved the Broncos beating him so many times, but he never bugged me as much as Lebron does.

Crosby’s up there, too, for bitches I guess. But he’s not in the conversation for best ever, just generational best.

I feel like Crosby really toned down the bitching a lot from when he entered the league. But my god was it awful when he was young.

Yeah this is true. He was one whiny dude when he first came into the league, though.

All of those people mentioned, even Lebron, are pretty stand up guys IRL. Lebron just always bugs me with his complaining to the refs on the court.

totally with ya - in some weird way I was actually rooting for Tom once he went to TB. Just to screw over BB which we all kinda knew was gonna happen.

I think the most irritating thing about LeBron to me is the whining and trying to be the GM/Owner. There’s just so much damn noise with him. Jordan will always be the best in my book. I don’t think I was really ever a Jordan fan during his heyday but I will always always appreciate just how cold/calculated the guy was. If you crossed Jordan he wouldn’t moan and bitch about it - he’d just go out there and make you look like an absolute fool the next possession down. He was just nasty.

My Broncos first round prediction: They stay at 12 to get an Edge rusher and then somehow trade back in to the late first round for Bo Nix
