What do you guys think the results of the Denver/LA series will be at this point? I'm thinking 4-1 Denver.

I think so. LA wins one of their home games, but Denver closes out at home. I don't see LA making it a close series.

I really hope Denver wins it this year for a change.

Denver is the one I want to win out of these final teams, but yikes, it hurts when a team, that's never even been to the Finals, wins before my long suffering Suns.

Yea.... but it does give me some hope that we'll get there too. It's better than seeing the usual L.A., Boston or GSW winning it.

I think there's a really good chance it goes back to Denver 2-2.

Denver is still my title favorite, but Miami has a crazy look about them.

Definitely not going back to Denver 2-2. :lol:

This is the Lakers team I remember, too much expected from a bunch of guys who should only play 20mpg. Kinda like the Suns…

The Denver franchise started a year before the Suns and have only one trip to the ABA Finals (1976) to show for it. I certainly am routing for them.

It's nice seeing some new blood (the Nuggets, Bucks and Suns) getting to the finals in recent years.

Plus, I hate the Lakers. A lot.

Just wanted to share how happy I am that we drafted Bender over Murray. Couldn’t have worked out better for us.

AND Marquese Chriss over Domantas Sabonis, in the same draft! Winning!

I really enjoy being reminded of how many guys I wanted to draft and we didn't. :(
