Honestly there was no playoff series against denver nuggets that are not worth watching. Everything is a slugfest

One of my favorite series is the 2012 1st round matchup. It came to game 7.

Pau Gasol won the game with 23/15/6 and 4 blocks

What a fun team denver had that year. They should just rename the pat ewing theory to carmelo Anthony theory

TheDraciel | Canada

Denver in the past couple years has been the most entertaining ball in the NBA. Always banger multi game playoff series. Going up against Ant/Rudy/KAT, KD/Book, SGA, Harden/Kahwai. Bron/AD, Rudy/Mitchell, Dame/CJ, CP3/Book

OilOfOlaz | Celtics

8 | 4 hours ago

I agree, nothing will beat watching the Celtics for me from an emotional standpoint, but I have always been looking forward to Nuggets games, whenever I had the opportunity to watch. MPJ was a dumbass, but his game was nice to watch before the latest injuries and he could randomly go nuclear, same for Jamal Murray and the two man game between Gordon and Jokic is always good for a hand full of highlights an Jok is simply a one man circus.

internallylinked | Hawks

9 | 3 hours ago

‘19 series against Blazers was a banger, went full 7 games too. Game 3 went to quadruple overtime, Jokic played 64 MINUTES, Murray played 55.

Even that no Murray series in ‘21 was crazy, Dame was on fire, Jokic played with a backcourt of Campazzo and Rivers, somehow won in 6.

Jokic-Murray Nuggets started their playoff careers with 4 back to back 7 game series (Spurs, Blazers in ‘19; Jazz, Clippers in ‘20)

It’s been an awesome journey for those of us who followed them (bruh that game 82 in ‘18? where Twolves and Nuggets had a head to head match to clinch 8th seed and play Warriors in the playoffs).

disagree with this characterization about bucks flairs specifically but i guess you guys don’t hate jokic - but have come across a fair lot of okc flairs heavily implying racism if folks had diverging opinions on mvp last year (am a WOC and this happened to me on this sub so speaking directly about myself only). and i didn’t even say sga didn’t deserve it lol just that Jokic had too historically a great season in the entire sport to not get MVP and i’d go with Jok for MVP. Calling fans “racist” for that is a stretch too far imo. so you guys may get annoyed by fans but the way some of you retaliate and just name call is kind of atrocious too.
