I think it’s a tossup as I can see both going 7

If Nuggets play bored like they did against Lakers, they could easily find themselves in a 7 game series. That being said, I think they take this matchup very seriously and probably come out in 6 at the most.

OKC vs Mavs is an interesting one..I’d take Mavs in 6 pretty easily if they were completely healthy, but they’re not so who knows. This one potentially goes 7 if OKCs inexperience doesn’t get the better of them.

Is that the silly narrative the trolls are going with? First time hearing it :lol:

Mavs have missed 3rd scorer in THJ, now indefinitely Kidd's favorite 4/5 in Maxi... Hopefully Luka can get his knees better and shooting touch back, otherwise, it is not looking good.

I can see Denver really showcasing their playoff expertise, and beating the Wolves in 5 games.

Dallas/OKC are more evenly matched, IMO. OKC has the overall talent advantage, but Dallas has more experience and the best player in the series.

Tuff poll!

Both could go 7 games IMO.

Yup.

I think once you get past the first round that’s when competition really tightens up.

I just hope that we get as much health as we can from the superstars. That’s the only reason why these series would go less then 7.

Because on paper, based on total skill, talent and matchups. They would almost certainly go 7.

If they play like they played against the Lakers they are going to get broomed.
