Brendan Vogt: This is a real moment. Some teams count rings, not second round appearances, but the reality is Denver isn’t one of those teams. It’s been so long since they’ve had anything to celebrate and there actually is some vindication in this modest accomplishment. This team and their fans were great all season and they deserved that ending. It wasn’t convincing, but it happened, and it will temper some of that doubt going forward.
Ryan Blackburn: I can’t get over the number of receipts there are on Twitter of the Nuggets being repeatedly classified as frauds throughout the regular season and this playoff series.
