can’t even be mad at good basketball. Nuggets are gonna be fire to watch on their own. I’m really hoping for the Miami and Denver game. Either win makes history. Love those games, because you know they’re going to give it all they got.

Blatant attempts by refs to derail the Nuggets indicate that NBA game fixing is back with a vengeance!
After 3 NBA refs got charged & convicted of fixing games in WCF between Lakers & Kings, I thought NBA would’ve cleaned up its act. However, the refereeing in this series proved that game fixing is alive & well in NBA.

They made 3 despicable back-back-back calls against Denver at end of Q4, costing them 3 possessions in a row.
2 criminally inappropriate charges against Jokic & off-the-ball foul against Gordon allowed LAL to tie it at 111.
Jokic answered with the winning lay up, on which he was fouled by AD running into him, yet no foul was called!

Lakers had more free throws in every single game & ended up with 26 more across the series!
