âOne key thing that Denver has done that's made me say âDenver is ready to win a championship in this league:' They have not f***ed around in any of their series. They had opportunities to close, they closed, they getting it done. They ready to win a championship, they are not messing around with any other teamâŠI got the Nuggets in five.â
Draymond Green believes the Nuggets are going to win the series in five games because they have showed an ability to mean business throughout the 2023 NBA Playoffs. Green cites the Nuggets' opportunities to close out series and how they have showed up whenever those opportunities arose.
One thing that Green emphasizes is the presence of Nikola Jokic and how he has been playing at an âall-time great' level across each series the Nuggets have had. There is no doubt that Jokic has put himself in the upper echelon of NBA players, and an NBA Finals ring would do wonders for his legacy.
With all that being said, it would still be surprising to see the Nuggets win the series in five games. The Heat have proven to be a very mentally tough and gritty team, and taking four out of five games from them would be an extremely tall task. Still, Nuggets fans will be excited to hear Draymond Green's prediction that Denver will cruise to an NBA Finals victory.
