    It would be a win/win, I glossed over some of the new CBA that's in place, the players get 50 percent of league merch, and corporate gets the other 50 percent.

    Win/win.
    Because there would not be serious merch if the Lakers or Warriors made it? Fairly certain Lebron and Steph have a much bigger fanbase than Joker. Conspiracy theories are fun.

    if CP3 and Ayton were healthy the entire series, it might have been a different story.

    The Nuggets won the championship already?

    beating a hapless T Wolves squad and the Suns without CP3 for 4 games and Ayton for 1, proves something?

    are you guys sports illiterate ?

    Just give it up. Jokic has quietly become the best player in the league. It's the aging CP3 and Durant who are vastly overrated at this point in their careers. IMO Durant is one of the most overrated starts of all time. He's a scorer who plays ISO ball and doesn't do much to make his teammates better. This was a no contest and took Booker to shoot lights out in games 3 and 4 to make this a somewhat competitive series.

    The Nuggets only won 53 games in the reg season in what was a weak and watered down version of the Western Conference this year.

    True, the playoffs are the "real season" but the West Top Seed typically wins 60+ games in a stronger version of the West than this year.

    Go look it up.

    Memphis finished 2nd and Sacto 3rd because the West was weak this year.

    Steph and Klay and Dray were only the court together for maybe 40 games this year.

    The Clippers were without PG13 and Kawhi for more than half the year.

    The Spurs under Pop have disappeared.

    Zion out for the Pelicans.

    The Lakers were average until the all star break in FEB with the great trades by Pelinka.

    SUNS HAD CP3 OUT THE LAST 4 GAMES OF THIS SERIES !!!



    Whether it materializes in the Conf Finals or the NBA Finals -- The Nuggets will GET EXPOSED for the FRAUDS they are !!!

    Homie are you not seeing the depth and talent of the Nuggets?

    How can we say they can be exposed for the frauds they are if they are in the finals. One team will win, one will lose.

    If the Nuggets lose in the NBA Finals, can we really call them frauds?

    Wouldn't they have had to lose in like round 1 of the playoffs?

    Once there are two teams left in the whole thing, fighting for the title, do we really have teh right to call either of them frauds? Sure, call the Western COnf soft, but to call the Western Conf champ a fraud seems a bit audacious.

    Denver will probably win it all now that they eliminated phoenix, phoenix would done better with Chris Paul and better bench what do people think?

    What if Denver wins it all?

    Are we still calling them frauds and talking about how other teams were injured and the league is just soft because Denver won?

    At one point, does Denver get any credit for being a formidable and deep team?

    KVer
    look at my thread title, Mate

    i started this by calling them the most overrated 1 seed in the L20Y of the Western Conference.

    i am going to move to Fraud now, especially if they do not make the finals.

    not winning the WEST in this 2023 version of it, is unacceptable IMO if they are so good like so many of you think.

    KCP and Bruce Brown?

    come on now !!

    No, i will give them credit if they beat the Lakers/Dubs winner and the Celtics/Heat winner.

    yes, i am completely dismissing The Sixers now.

    You could say this over the years in general, all the injuries in playoffs (murray, pg, khawi, cp, ayton, kyrie, love, ja, adams, zion, etc) + the nba doesnt reseed. nba has sucked for awhile.

    The Nuggets are *only* -150 to win the series over the lakers even though they supposedly have the best player in the world, a very deep bench, and home court advantage.

    Hmmmmmmmm

    I didn't get to watch the Lakers game as I play in sand volleyball tournaments most Saturdays but I finally jumped on the trend of the dog covering and or also winning outright in the conference finals.

    Bet Denver +5, +185, Denver Alt spread -4.5 +300 and put some more in live in the 3rd Den -2.5 +100

    thank you Denver. i knew they would try and bury the Lakers because they didn't let up in game 3's vs T-Wolves or Suns just got beat by Booker shooting 20/25 pretty much

    the Nuggets are rolling towards their first Finals appearance so there is no reason not to do this again in game 4

    Murray is a top 10 player in the world. Guy has always been one of my favorites. He's just under the radar because he plays in Denver. He's way better than all these clowns like Donovan Mitchel, Booker, Tatum, I'll even take him over Morant. I think he's the best PG in the world after Curry and Lillard. He's near their level of clutchness and no one else is in that league as a pg or even a guard in general. He doesn't make mistakes, he never crumbles in the lights like a tatum or booker, and he just has so much variety to his game. Guy is a stud. It's easy to make the finals when you have 2 of the top 10 players in the world on one team, and a bunch of supporting players that are perfect in their roles.
