NBA Game 7s are a completely different animal where momentum means nothing

Momentum doesn't matter. That's one thing that I've learned is momentum means nothing. Because going into this series, going into this game, all the, all the momentum was going towards the Sixers after the Celtics won two, it looked like the Sixers were dead. Momentum means nothing. Game seven is one game. Throw out everything else.

The Celtics won Game 7 decisively (112-88), arguably carrying the momentum from their Game 6 road win.

If you are a top five player, you have to be able to pull your team out of the depths of hell

If you're a top five guy—and actually Jayson Tatum said it after the game, humbly, 'I'm one of the best players in the world'—if you're that guy, you have to be able to take your team out of the depths of hell in those moments. And that's exactly what [Tatum] did.

This is a subjective standard for superstardom.

The pairing of James Harden and Doc Rivers in a Game 7 does not look good on paper

If you have James Harden and Doc Rivers with their powers combined in a game seven, that doesn't look very good for the 76ers on paper.

This proved correct as the Sixers were blown out in Game 7 and Doc Rivers was subsequently fired.

As a Nuggets fan, I would much rather play the Warriors than the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals

As a Nuggets fan, I do not wanna play the Lakers. I would rather play the Warriors. I think that their game matches up better against them. The Lakers scare me a little bit on defense.

The Nuggets ended up playing the Lakers and sweeping them 4-0, proving they were more than capable of handling the matchup PFT feared.

Depends on LeBron's free agency signing.
