Don’t know about you. But for championship frauds, the gritty, little Nuggets look for real to me, MarkKiszla writes.
Maybe it’s time the NBA power-brokers and pundits woke up, got off their lazy rumps, grabbed an old-fashioned road atlas and took a little trip to discover a team from our dusty old cowtown in the lost time zone.The Nuggets burned hotter than the Suns in a dominant 125-107 victory that opened this best-of-seven playoff series with a revelation.
When the playoffs began, Las Vegas oddsmakers made Phoenix the favorite to come out of the Western Conference. Although it doesn’t happen often, it appears that perhaps those wise guys in Vegas were wrong. “What motivates us,” said Malone, whose team got swept from the playoffs by Phoenix in 2021, “is to win a championship.”
While the outcome of this series is far from decided, it’s obvious that while either Kevin Durant or Devin Booker can win a game by himself, these two Phoenix superstars will risk burnout with a heavy workload required against Denver, which is the better overall basketball team.
