The Spurs putting it to the Nuggets. Pop is a genius, of course, but it's still a trip to see him work. I love it. Rockets/Spurs in the Western Conference Finals? It could happen.
Sorry guys, I'm not that mean usually. The Nuggets: "We're gonna lose this game intentionally to the Blazers so that we can push the Rockets to the other bracket. See you in the Conference Finals, Rockets."
Every year. Like how did it even go down? I'm imagining something like this: RC Buford:: "Sorry, Pop, but this year you don't have Timmy, Tony, Manu or Kawhi. We aren't sure if Pau even still has a pulse and LaMarcus Aldridge is like 35. We did go get you a guard that can't shoot threes and has an extensive history of choking in the playoffs though." Pop: "Screw it. I'm going to the Western Conference Finals anyway." Pop is like Jimmy Butler grabbing 4 scrubs and taking it to the first team. "YOU EFFING NEED ME!"
Denver doesnt deserve to be in the playoffs. Even they knew it by the way they were losing games to get favorable matchups. Problem was that there is no favorable matchup for them in playoffs lol...
