Rondo numba 9Rondo is dominating early in this game
Your post had an implication that because a 3 series Denver has won in the Jokic era went to 7 games that it puts them in the same range of uncertainty as the Jazz that blew a 3-1 lead to them. Blowing a 3-1 lead ain't the same as just losing in 7. If you feel like they'll go to 7 again that's cool but Utah hasn't changed up shyt for me to say they're even with the Nuggets. Feel free to feel differently but the Jazz ain't done much in the Gobert era but upset OKCYou realize i'm saying a Jazz vs Nuggets series would go 7 games again and neither team is concretely better than the other? So what i am conveying to you (after you spoke of trust and ceiling issues) is that Denver got their own demons and inconsistencies.
And ain't shyt laughable because Grant wasn't hurt like Klay (who missed whole fukking games ) and Granted started and played the last 2 games and it still came down to Murray dropping 50 in game 6 and Conley bricking a game winner in game 7. i know it's his defense which is why i also mentioned him playing the same ol 35 mins and fouling out in game 5. Murray dropping 50 and dragging Denver to a game 6 win >>>>> whatever you think Grant starting did.
But whatever, in 2 months we'll see whether a DEN vs UTA matchup doesn't again go 7 games.

And its very laughable because players having big moments to will their team back is a playoff basketball staple. If Bron and Kyrie don't combine for 80 in the finals, they don't beat the Warriors. And if they don't stop the Warriors from torching them, the 80 means nothing. If you want to argue that Grant replacing MPJ didn't mean shyt for how that series went go ahead, but its off base. Without the ability to switch hunt Utah's offense went as far as Don took them. There's a reason the Jazz are the only team I dog on this board and its not for Vernon Maxwell reasons
