NBA FINALS 2023: Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets

[SalvadoranCavsfan]

So Jokic is the best player ever taken in the second round right?

 

[Jscc]

If Denver wins this title and can stay healthy, I don't see anyone beating them in a seven game series next year either.

 

[Rookie]

Denver’s offense gives me the similar terror of the peak Warriors.

2017 warriors??? Cause aint no way in hell any team in any era is beating that GSW team. Their offense was in another league.

 

[PIP]

I just love that teams pour money and scouting into all these athletic kids from AAU tournaments and college programs and yet it’s a slow, chubby Serbian dude who is literally toying with them nightly with nothing but straight fundamentals…


Has no speed, can’t jump, but is the most deadly player on the planet…

MVP voting is a joke.

I don't think Miami should be too discouraged after that game?

They did just as I thought and kept the TOs low, as they do, and limited Denvers fast break points.

Butler had to be better. Strus had a nightmare game.

But they held Denver to 103 points. I think that's encouraging foe them.

Denver took their foot of the gas the entire 4th quarter.

Denver shot terribly, but they got whatever they wanted in the paint, and that’s concerning for the Heat.

I wouldn’t dare count Miami out, but I wouldn’t say there was anything encouraging in that game for them.

So Jokic is the best player ever taken in the second round right?

Jim Chones was taken in the second round so Jokic isn’t the best.

Although a case can also be made for Willis Reed who had the greatest Game 7 in NBA history by dramatically coming out of the tunnel with one leg missing and leading the Knicks to victory over the Chamberlain - West - Baylor Lakers by scoring the first two buckets. His four points were decisive. Walt Frazier’s 36-7-19 effort helped a little but in no way detracts from Reed’s Medal of Honor winning performance in the greatest arena in the history of mankind - Madison Square Garden - located over a rat-infested train station from hell that isn’t anywhere near Madison Square.

Jokic was able to score at will once he decided his scoring was needed.

I don’t see how Miami can overcome the Hulkin Balkan.

 

[PIP]

What a poorly coached game by Spoelstra however… Switching and continuously finding matchups where Duncan Robinson was defending Jokic in the post and early on having Gabe Vincent defend Aaron Gordon while he was being obliterated by Gordon …

Terrible coaching effort and no adjustments were made…

I’m very disappointed he didn’t put our boy K Love on the Joker. That would have been entertaining.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

Jokic's had one cross court, no look pass with his back to the shooter that was drained for a three. Just nuts.

 

[cavsfever]

I’m very disappointed he didn’t put our boy K Love on the Joker. That would have been entertaining.

I’m thinking KLove will see at least a few minutes this series, because why not? Even though he’s one of the few NBA centers who is both smaller and slower than Joker.

Hard to believe KLove is only a year older than Butler, we talk about him like he’s a fossil

 

[Real Deal]

The Heat are cooked. Boston has been the better team over the course of the series. They'll probably be like 8 point favorites and I expect a double digit win for them

Does anybody ever hold your ass accountable for the shit you spew? You speak too matter of fact while being proven wrong time and time.

Denver took it easy in the 4th, they cruised tonigh. Heat have no chance. Denver has by far the best player and he's got a squad behind him.
