    Is Doc Rivers the most overrated coach in the league?

    He should have won multiple titles in Boston but didn't.

    Jokic is so fun to watch - great to watch a big man carve up in modern NBA - a nice counterpoint to the rest of the league.

    Rivers is a joke isnt he? Multiple times this series he has let Denver go on runs without calling a TO, and their offense still has no cohesion.

    I think this is one of the best groups of players to go out so early in recent memory

    The Nuggets to go all the way, even though their owner is a piston wristed gibbon.

    i can't see them beating the Lakers. But shit this has been an awesome run. Coming back from 3-1 down on more than one occasion is amazing

    Imagine the odds you would have got on a Heat v Nuggets NBA Championship series back in January

    You mean something similar to this?

    I should add - this is not my bet, it's a mate of a mate

    Check out sportsbets Instagram post. One of my best mates got inspired by my near 11.5k multi from a bonus bet I put on that missed because lebron didn't pass the last 2.30. (Im not over it).

    My mate put an NFL multi on we rode it all the way home. $25 bonus bet into 37.5k

    He certainly will be under even more pressure to win.

    @Bovidae 100% up there in recent memory with the lebron chase down one vs GS.

    Its hard with defensive plays if someone makes a big time steal or interception its usually put down to poor offence. Something like this is clear cut and so nice to watch.

    Amazing from the Nuggets but think the Lakers beat them in 4 or 5. AD is one of the only guys in the league who can guard Jokic effectively, and people have forgotten what a bad defender Jokic himself is. Can see the Lakers big men abusing them inside all series long.

    This upset was more a case of Nuggets getting unsustainably hot, and Clippers going ice cold without the cohesion to change things.

    Lakers-Celtics finals would be epic as always! Although I like the Heat more and am rooting for them, think Boston edges it in 6 or 7, Hayward ocming back will be key.

    Not to disagree, but as an aside, does any modern day celebrity have a worse twitter game than Magic?

    Honestly, I've never seen Magic's twitter feed. That comment was copied from the ESPN article.

    Very happy for the Nuggets. Joker and Murray are great to watch and they have some solid supporting pieces that know how to play together.

    Very disappointed with the Clippers. Lack of chemistry was one problem, but the biggest issue was Rivers not making adjustments in that third quarter. It was glaringly obvious what needed to change in their offence. But nada.

    Tatum is a fantastic talent but that close out play in regulation was dumb. Then his OT period wasn’t great as well. Phenomenal block from Bam. Dragic, Butler and Herro have been huge.

    Fucken A. He's transitioning to being a bonafide superstar. Always been a star but now he's looking like an elite.

    Can't believe he's been labelled a locker room cancer by Chicago and Minny, and he was underappreciated in Philly. Snowflakes the lot of them

    Yeah nah. He was toxic. But I’d say Pat Riley and Spoelstra know how to manage someone like that better than most in the league.

    When the others didn't feel the same way as him he wouldn't back down and escalated. Him, especially Riley and Spo are the perfect union

    He’s probably reached a point in his career that this is his chance too.

    Today’s game had a very Warrior-esque feel to it. Duncan moving and shooting like Klay. Ball movement and defensive pressure. Iggy earning his pay cheque as an assistant coach 😎

    I dont think you can argue against TGF. They were on pace for a 70 win season, his offensive numbers were amazing and he was DPOY.

    Its funny who gives a shit about it though - or who doesn't. TGF, Harden, Westbrook on one side, Lebron, Kawhi, Curry on the other...
