Probably safe to cross Denver off the list with Murray going down. Him and Jimmy Butler were the highlight of last year's playoffs for all non-Lakers fans.Originally Posted by Sloppy Joe
Hard to argue with that, really. I guess I'm more willing to write off the bubble collapse than anyone and not sure why. Weirdly think more highly of Paul George too. Think that signing Rondo was a double win, as they no longer have Lou Williams to depend on too.
It's mostly Kawhi respect, but I just don't see Denver/Utah/Phoenix winning three rounds.
Not betting it, just my guess.
Truly a bummer, as that team seemed to be primed for a deep run with Jokic firing on all cylinders. Think they are still a little dangerous, especially if MPJ takes this opportunity and runs with it, but not having Murray probably takes them out.
