I mean, the Zombie Heat arc had to end at some point, and it's insane that it went as long as it did. If Herro and Oladipo were around, maybe it would have gone a game or two longer, but the Nuggets are just better, top to bottom.

Nuggets in five was what everyone I know picked too. It's really hard to sweep a finals, but the nuggets just fucked shit up all playoffs. Joker was not gonna be stopped!

Absolutely deserved, clearly the best team in the league at the end of it all.

Can't wait to see how they follow it up, this team feels eerily reminiscent of the 2015 Warriors - lots of talk about how the competition wasn't that stiff and they might not have gotten the chip in other years. Would be fun to see the Nuggets come out on a heater next year too

The most boring NBA finals in my opinion.

I thought that the Nuggets would probably win with Herro and Oladipo out, but I was suprised with how poor Jimmy's perforamnce was during this series. Congrats to the Nuggets, a really dominant performance

Happy to see them win it.

But I always find it weird when the owner is the first one for holding up the trophy and photo op....

Like come on the players deserve that so much more lmao

Was going to say this. What the Heat did to go from a play in team to the finals is remarkable. Nuggets were just the better team.
