If the Nuggets win this series it isn’t some kind of Denver magic or whatever. They get way too many offensive boards. That’s the reason.

So when I get home I see that Denver had 14 offensive boards. Outrebounded the Lakers by 13 boards. That about sums it up. It's not anything more than that. At some point when you're a coach you have to make an adjustment and take out poorly performing offensive players for someone who will grab you a board. Jaxson Hayes didn't play. If you're Darvin Ham you're inviting this on yourself. In the second half it felt like Denver scored every time down the floor. Either they scored on their first chance or they grabbed a board and scored on the next one.

Poor day shift bartender at the Jacksonville Buffalo Wild Wings’ shoulder must be killing him from all of the jubilant slaps @Incandenza is giving them this afternoon.

Please, I'm watching this game at home and doing victory laps around my living room

Got to budget conscious in Genocide Joe Brandon's America and save the BDubs trips for series clinchers. I get it.

I briefly considered going out to a bar for this game, but day three of the NFL draft was going on concurrently and living in an NFL town I didn't want to risk trying to find a place that was willing to show anything other than third day of the draft.
(This might sound ridiculous, but look, I spent an hour this morning in a coffee shop a few blocks from my house and the number of people there wearing Jags merch? I'd rather watch the game at home than hope so random bar might turn one of their screens to this game.)

Huh. I understand people going to bars for the first round of the NFL Draft but Day 3 is some sicko shit IMO ngl.

Maybe this will be less of an issue in round two assuming Orlando makes it that far. I don't know. When the Tom Brady-led Bucs won a Superbowl a few years back I saw so many people in public wearing Buccaneers gear, whereas I saw pretty much no one around town before rocking their shit. People like winners. LeBron-era Heat led to a lot of locals donning Miami Heat shirts. People like winners.

These are, of course, "fairweather" fans, but whatever
Different coach and we’re talking about a much different series. Of course some of us wanted the coach fired since December.

I went to a diner today and told the host to put the NFL Draft on over the NHL Playoffs (he tried to change it after I told someone to put the NFL Draft on). He told me I was out of my mind but I was like is anyone watching the NHL playoffs in here? We were going back and forth but he still changed it back to the NFL Draft. You just gotta tell them what’s up.
Edit: fuck, I just realized you didn’t want to watch the NFL Draft. Uhh, I’ve had a few.

Most people would consider this sacrilege but Anthony Edwards reminds me of Kobe.

Kristaps Porzingis out for several games with a right soleus strain.
Hmmm. Lanky Celtics big man out with an injury, second round series against Orlando possibly looming…

Awful loss. Not feeling good.

I was rooting for the Knicks due to wanting to rekindle the great raptors/knicks rivalry that’s been referenced in my posts over the past ten years, so I’m sad to see this happen. Also I heard they want to give up most of their roster to pair Booker with Brunson. I don’t think that would be a good move.
Also, they will still go to the finals this year, you heard it here first.

It’s hard to call a changing of the guards until after it happens but Bucks, Suns, Lakers, and Heat all getting eliminated in the first round in relatively unceremonious fashion does feel like a changing of the guards.

It is nuts to think Giannis is 10+ years into his career. It seems like yesterday he was the scrawny, raw but explosive rookie that was the highlight for the worst team in Milwaukee Bucks history
As a ref now when I see a coach complain about every single foul it makes me sick. Even worse when all of them are fouls. Hats off to Nick Nurse for making me sick.

Boners, and farts.
With the Lakers, and Sixers out I have no one left to root against. I can just enjoy things as they unfold now.
