FULL NBA FINALS GAME 5 REACTION: Denver Nuggets win 1st NBA title | SC with SVP

[@alitfvahuka]

Nuggets went 16-4, most of the losses were only by 1-2 possessions. The Suns won 2 games by scoring 70-90 points by Booker/Durant. Miami won a game shooting 49% 3pt and MN won a game in OT. The only way to barely beat the Nuggets, is to have an almost perfect shooting percentage game. No team can sustained that in four games. Nuggets dominated this playoff run.

[@BallCDO]

[@MrFeierkind]

Ironically the Lakers despite being swept were probably the closest but nuggets were just so much better at closing

[@Jsteeeez]

@@MrFeierkind agreed. Lakers lost what were basically 4 close games.

It was a foul from Gordon coz he moves and lands his feet towards Butler. Lol Heat should have won this game the way Denver had been playing 3/25 from threes from but the 2nd half free throws save them. The refs has been favoring Denver throughout the series. That's the reason why Denver came back from this deficit. Miami hasn't shoot Fts in the 2nd and Denver on the 3rd was automatic on the free throws. Denver and th refs is beating Miami. Yes they have the talent with Jokic but I don't see any center in the league that slaps the ball but hasn't whistled. He should be fouled out at the 1st half if he is not the former MVP. Not even a Heat fan I'm a warrior fan but seeing this Denver blaming the refs where they clearly playing bad is that they ar the dumbest fans in th NBA.

[@Jsteeeez]

Throughout this whole finals series I thought they tended to call fouls in favor of the heat. But a true championship team gotta win even with some BS calls. If the heat won this game, that phantom foul on the 3pt would be played a million times. What should have been a technical foul on butler for kicking out his foot was somehow called a foul! They even reviewed it and the announcers were like all we need to know is who got possession now, and then they came out and said it stands. Not sure the point of replay if they won’t overturn that call.

I think nba should allow mvp players to sign contracts for up to 10 years. Jokic should get $500 million. LeBron, Curry, Giannis, and Durant are underpaid. LeBron and Durant have never signed a $200 million contract. The best contract is (LeBron $154 million, 2018 Lakers) (Durant, 2021 Brooklyn, $198 million)

[@Ludzig]

Interesting thought, i did not know this

[@romeothompson9389]

Would be kind of dumb from a financial standpoint 500 million over 10 seasons is 50 million he basically already makes that who’s to say jokic won’t still be dominant in a few years when the salary cap increases and he can be making 65 or 70 million a year ? A long term deal like that offers no flexibility

[@harperlee6383]

LeBron could have signed a supermax contract but he always chose to sign for shorter deals to have flexibility. Durant signed for 4 year max deal as a free agent. Durant could have signed a 5 year supermax with the Warriors but chose not to as well.
