NBA FINALS 2023: Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets

[KevinLoveFan]

Zeller is about to come in from what I saw up top. Based on tonight, I don't think Love plays at all this series. If he doesn't get inserted in a night like tonight, he's not gonna see the floor the rest of June.

 

[KevinLoveFan]

Butler been rather invisible tonight.

Bam the only standout Heat player the whole game. Vincent was ok early on.

Butler had an off game or two against Boston. Miami only needs to win one in Denver, and hold home court.

 

[Kepler]

4-oh

And hopefully no more 0/9 efforts from 3 by Strus lol

 

[Marcus]

I'd be curious to see Miami's shooting percentage on wide open threes tonight. They're missing a lot of good looks.

 

[jjvors]

8-0 run to start the 4th for Miami. There are 4 quarters to play. Miami down 13, Denver timeout.

[HammerGold]

I'm thinking sweep

 

[KevinLoveFan]

Jeff Green say NO to that run by Miami!

 

[KevinLoveFan]

Jokic one board from a triple double. Makes it look so easy.

 

[HammerGold]

Heat are outclassed. Going to be a snoozefest finals

 

[KevinLoveFan]

Every time the Heat threatened to get back in it in the 4th, Jokic had other ideas.

 

[wuck]

What a pleasure to watch Jokic play well on the biggest stage.

Heat did just enough to give Mike Malone some motivation in practice for Sunday.

Highsmith was very impressive. Might see more of him and less of Strus if he keeps chucking and missing.

 

[jjvors]

Denver wins. Miami made a run in the 4th, hitting some 3s, but Denver responded and held them off.
MIAMI HEAT
