    “The regular season doesn’t matter”
    uh, yeah it does. This is why. Playoffs. Game 7. Playing at home When everything is on the line.

    Spurs stole home court advantage from Nugs game 1 & then they took it right back game 4 in dominant fashion. They’ve played w/ a little more bounce to their step since that game & have looked confident against a poised Spurs squad.

    They’ll need Jamal Murray to come through if things get dicey in the 4th quarter. But I’ve seen enough from him & Joker to believe they are the 2 best players in this series.

    Mile High City -225 is the play

    Statement might mean something when it comes to the NHL, but not in NBA as you said.

        Great series with much intrigue -this is what basketball is about. Nuggets need a big game from Milsap here -can't allow the spurs to get away with Gay guarding him.

        I felt Nuggets in 7 at the beginning of the series and haven't changed my mind. Wouldn't be surprised to see them fall into a double digit hole though -young team.

          Don’t see the Nugs changing the game plan much. Should be a steady attack of the inverted pick and roll w/ Jamal & Joker. And then letting the game open up after defensive stops.

          Spurs got 3 guys that I could see having big games. One is Rudy gay. The others of course DeRozan & LaMarcus. 3 savvy vets. Calm demeanors. Ideal players for game 7 conditions. All shot lights out last game too. Denver defense will have to shut down at least 2 of the 3. I would prefer they make DeRozan beat em & get the ball out of Aldridge hands.

          Sounds generic but I think Denver will have to make def stops & capitalize on swing opportunities. And if it comes down to the final buckets then find Jamal Murray. Coach Malone has all the confidence in that kid & so do I. I think he’s cold blooded

              Feel free to break down the value my man. I’m all ears to any discussion

              Adding some small player props:

              .5u Joker at least 21 reb&ast +141
              .25u Gary Harris at least 22pts +396
              .2u Gary Harris at least 4 threes +388
              .05u Gary Harris at least 5 threes +1063

                  Mile High City came through.

                  Rockies earlier $
                  Nuggets tonight $

                  Even scooped a couple pennies on the player prop hit.

                    Could the Nuggets actually make the Finals? They really got a dream draw.

                    Easiest 1st round opponent in the Spurs.

                    Will only have to face one of Warriors or Rockets and the winner could be hobbled after a tough 7 game series. They would have home court if against Rockets.

                    Blazers dangerous but down Nurkic and unlike the Thunder, Nuggets will almost certainly go after Kanter. Blazers may have to go with Zach Collins? Thunder probably would have been tougher matchup even though Nuggets went 4-0 in regulars season.

                    But of course that easy 1st round opponent did just take them to 7 games

                      Nothings easy. This is this team’s first go around in the playoffs & they just knocked off a cast of all star vets & the greatest NBA coach in history. They deserve all the credit in the world.

                      And yeah it went 7 but they killed this team on both sides of the floor in every game after game 4. Spurs just shot the lights out game 6.

                      If they have home court, anything’s possible. But my confidence in this team is sky high right now so ima just chill until the smoke clears from tonight.

                        Yeah Spurs are a solid veteran team (last possession notwithstanding) with best coach in the game. Nuggets deserve lot of credit. I actually expected this series to go 7 with Nuggets prevailing in Game 7.

                        Big advantage going forward with their strong home court.

                          4pt game, 20 seconds left and yet no foul as the Spurs suffer brain cramp and watch their season end. Seen other coaches raked over the coals for lesser mistakes than this, but Pop has won championships so people turn the other way. Best team won though. Nuggets' defense coming through. Jokic is truly a generational talent at his position.

                            So Nuggets series is only -130 against Blazers?

                            I thought it would be a little shorter at least

                              Market agrees. Out to -150 at Pinnacle

                                Dame Lillard & crew as a underdog again? That’s tough bro

                                This nuggets team ain’t no OKC Thunder though I’ll tell you that. They are young but they are killers and got the deepest collection of talent in the league.

                                Passing on a series pick for sure. Too tough to call at this point
