Coming into the playoffs, the Portland Trail Blazers had the stigma on them, after being swept, last year. But, the Blazers came into this year’s postseason ready to eat. They made quick work of the Thunder, before playing the Denver Nuggets.
In the case of the Nuggets, they have been irrelevant since 2013. That year, they set a franchise record for wins and looked like they were headed somewhere. It turns out, their purpose was to launch the Warriors’ current playoff run, which includes three titles.
Tonight, the Denver Nuggets are relevant, again, putting themselves on the 2019 NBA Playoffs map, for this Game 3, vs. Portland. After struggling to put away DeRozan’s Spurs, Nikola Jokic’s Nuggets are giving Logo Lilliard and his Blazers a run for their money. Twitter is stunned at the history the Nuggets have made, with the Blazers, tonight.
