Nuggets or Heatles? Who are you rooting for to win the championship

[Millennial_Messiah]

I guess I'm torn, but I'm happy with both of the outcomes in both conference finals, and extremely happy of course with the Western Conference Finals outcome.

Denver hasn't won a ring yet so I wouldn't mind seeing them and their fans win it all for the first time. Miami has won a good handful of les already but not with this kind of underdog team so I would be happy if they won it with a lone wolf MVP candidate in Jimmy Butler and undermanned help beside him.

Obviously, Denver is the heavy favorite, but Miami looks more of an impressive 8th seed than, say, the 1999 Knicks.

Nuggets. Jokic winning the Chip would shut up his haters, most of whom prolly don't even watch the Nuggets play very often ala Lisa Salters


Additionally, idk if it's some residual hate from Heatles era or what, but I just can't find it within me to root for them.

Denver is winning it. Best team in the league, they deserve it

Denver

[John B]

I don’t care as long as it’s not Lakers or Dubs or CP3, from the beginning. I don’t want neither LeSoft nor Dubs tieing Timmy’s ring cut, nor PointGod getting any..

At this time Nuggets or Heat is okay

[Leetonidas]

Nuggets. Jokic is a likeable player and Denver has no NBA finals history at all whereas one more ring puts Miami right behind us

[spurraider21]

dont have a huge preference but think the nuggets are the best team and should win. lakers/celtics getting eliminated this round was all i cared about

I'm for Denver. They're knocking out the Lakers and that's enough to garner my support..

I hate the Nuggets, but: 1) I hate the Lakers more and 2) I love Jokic and think he deserves a le. So I'm not rooting for anyone but I'll take Denver and Miami over Lakers & Boston. Then whoever deserves it the most, I'll just enjoy basketball.

Nuggets offense stagnant to start 4th....

Agree. Though I have a lot of respect for Spo.

Better ball movement now by Nuggets.

Nuggets bc of the Joker.

I found it very interesting that Duncan named him his favorite current player to watch, even before Joker went on to win his MVPs.

3:34 - 4th

ESPN	1	2	3	4	T

[ace3g]

That shot from Jokic, lol

[barakz21]

Man, that’s a tough one. I am and will always be biased in favor of bigs, hence I’d want Joker to win it all. On the other hand, it’s been super fun watching this Jimmy Buckets led Heat team defy expectations and just come up clutch time after time after time.

I gotta say, it’s weird to watch AND actually enjoy playoff games without the Spurs involved. I used to never watch them unless the Spurs are playing.

Nuggets!!!

Even though their clock mgmt was terrible after that Lebron miss and earlier when Murray didn't pick the ball up after the inbound pass, let the ball roll for about 4-5 seconds.
