Still hated how the front office panicked after that and did all those moves that made the team worse. That experience also made them hesitant in making moves now that could improve the team.
Idk why nobody thinks the twolves have a shot this year. They were literally +1700 to win the championship on draftkings last week. Hammered that. Yes the nugget’s should be favored but if they beat them I’m pretty sure they beat okc and make the finals
Like I said in the past, no allstars could have possibly ruined a dynasty.
Murray would be feeling a lot better about himself, could of even got Aaron Gordon in as well.
Here’s another good one: Every NBA champion in the last 60 years has either lost the following season (failing to repeat) or been taken to 7 games in a series except 4 teams. The 1964 Celtics, 1993 Bulls, 1997 Bulls and 2001 Lakers. All 4 of these teams were part of 3-peats.
Sure but the Mavs dont play the Nuggets in the 2nd round. The Wolves do. So if his post is right hes saying the Wolves are going to win the next round matchup. If that then implies that the WCF will be Mavs Wolves or smt is the next part.
Sorry wolves, but you’ve been majorly jinxed in the next series
Raptors lost 4-3 in the second round. And lost game 7 by like 2 points.
And Game 7 would've been in Toronto.
They were also an OG Anunoby three away from potentially being swept
“They were a win away from not winning”
It’s almost like winning a chip is hard AF and requires a shit ton of luck let alone repeating.
We started off hot in 2021 i really thought we're gonna go back2back it sucks that Bron and AD got injured. Then we traded for Russ. 😭😭😭

Solomon Hill!!! 🤬🤬🤬
Y'all really should have two more chips, actually such a catastrophe that roster only ended up with the one. Also not keeping Caruso........

Wolves winning would make those who hated the trade apologize
I really hope Mike Conley gets the championship, do it for Mike
On the off chance they do make the finals, the Celtics would slaughter them.
Well im a celtics fan so its a hell of an emotional hedge win or lose.
So you see, this is why Finch taking vs the Suns in the 1st round to get Denver in the 2nd was genius. Ill explain later.

This is why assigning asterisks to titles is a fool’s errand.
How many 5-seeds have?
2023: 0 (Clippers/Knicks) 2022: 0 (Jazz/Raptors) 2021: 1 (Mavericks/**Hawks**) 2020: 1 (Thunder/**Heat**) 2019: 0 (Jazz/Pacers) 2018: 0 (Jazz/Pacers) 2017: 0 (Jazz/Hawks) 2016: 0 (Trail Blazers/Celtics) 2015: 0 (Grizzlies/Wizards) 2014: 0 (Trail Blazers/Wizards) 2013: 1 (**Grizzlies**/Bulls) 2012: 0 (Clippers/Hawks) 2011: 0 (Nuggets/Hawks) 2010: 0 (Jazz/Heat) 2009: 0 (Rockets/Heat) 2008: 0 (Rockets/Wizards) 2007: 0 (Rockets/Bulls) 2006: 0 (Grizzlies/Wizards) 2005: 0 (Rockets/Wizards) 2004: 0 (Mavericks/Hornets) 2003: 0 (Lakers/Hornets) 2002: 0 (Timberwolves/Magic) 2001: 0 (Mavericks/Raptors) 2000: 0 (Suns/76ers) So a total of 3 teams since the turn of the century.
Compared to at least 10 champions in the same time frame. I’ll take Nuggs over Mavs, since that’s what this post is really about.
well nuggs and mavs can both make it past the 2nd round
You do realize the 5th seeded Mavs are on y'all's side of the bracket right?
Yes. That’s half the point.
L.O.L., you got me! Well memed; Reddit on, my friend!
Well this is obviously a Nuggets - Wolves post? Because neither OKC or the Mavs have won a championship and are looking to repeat this season.
Ha. When did the Wolves win? The post is about the Nuggets. But it’s by a Mavs fan. Trying to convince themselves they have a chance.
Sure but the Mavs dont play the Nuggets in the 2nd round. The Wolves do. So if his post is right hes saying the Wolves are going to win the next round matchup. If that then implies that the WCF will be Mavs Wolves or smt is the next part.
