2024 NBA Playoffs 1st round
Game 1 Denver Nuggets(0-0) @ San Antonio Spurs(0-0)
The goal with this first game is to go out and dominate from the opening tip. I hope to take advantage and sweep the Nuggets, but that will require some targeting of Jokic at the very least. Still this should be a sweep or gentleman's sweep.

We don't do that and drop the game at home to the Nuggets; did I mention we have 4 injuries' to guys rn including Kispert?! The game wants this team to drop it in the 1st round.
Game 2 Denver Nuggets (1-0) @ San Antonio Spurs (0-1)
We have to even this one up and buy time for injured guys to come back and play. If we o down 2-0 at home; then we can see the sweep happening to us.

We do it despite a monster Jokic game with the 19 boards, almost 20 and 20 from him. Gotta wait it out for Kispert to come back sometime.

Awful game here with Jokic hitting us for 55 and Victor fouling out. We have no depth and have no ability to press forward; we are getting 1st rounded.
Game 4 San Antonio Spurs(1-2) Denver Nuggets (2-1)
This is our stand; we gotta tie this up 2-2 and get back Gafford and Sochan for our next game and we will be sitting pretty as a team I think! But if we go down 3-1 then I think it is curtains for us; win this then defend home court then win at home again!

We do it! As a big game from Victor as we tie it up 2-2 and now we are in a position n to grab a 3-2 advantage! Huge win for the Spurs here; If we didn't win this; it would have been curtains.
Game 5 Denver Nuggets (2-2) San Antonio Spurs (2-2)
