Heating Up Some Nuggets To Go With My 'Big-Face Coffee'! | Official Miami HEAT (#8) vs. Denver Nuggets (#1) | 2023 NBA Finals Thread

[#1 pick]

hard to play bully ball against aaron gordon lol
he better bring his jumper with him for the rest of the series or it'll be a short one

People don't realize Denver got a squad and been slowly making moves trading scrubs for good players to build for what they are right now

Aaron Gordon also improved so much in the last two seasons.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Jokic isn't so rim protecter, so it makes no sense why they just kept settling for 3s & not trying to attack

Had a lot of open looks. Hard to pass up open 3’s if the alternative isn’t open looks in the paint.

Strus 0-10 ill

 

[old pig]

this depressing ass post-game show

 

[Hawala Man]

Is miami going to come equipped with nba players.Sunday? If the answer is no Denver is fine. Nuggets were rusty AF and miami had the momemtum and jimmy choked

It's a 6-7 game series stop this game 1 shock statement.

 

[Nero Christ]

Jokic pretty much made the right read all night...made the right pass throughout the game & when things got a lil too close late...went looking for his

 

[iamduval]

Bam really offers nothing as a rim protector. I think that will stand out on film. He doesn’t even contest

 

[Dem313wayz]

You can't call Jimmy a HOF'er and a league superstar when he has so many games like this where he doesn't even look like a top 20 player.


I still don't think he's THAT nicca.

This is the basketball hall of fame. Everyone makes it. Caleb Martin will make the HOF

 

[H. Selassie]

“The genuine humility of this all-time special player is inspiring.”

Why do commentators only wax poetic about the moral excellence of white players? Reminds me of one Drew Brees’s last games.

Just heard the term “Servant leadership”…they never go to this length to describe black athletes.

THEY DID...

JOKIC WAS PRETTY REGULAR
IN GAMES 2 & 3...
LAKERS JUST COULDNT CLOSE.



​

They just had AD hover around the rim and have Bron/Rui/TT take Jokic and live with certain matchups making shots (and they did)

Unfortunately they don't have a backup big to spell AD, and the playmaker needed to help LeBron and give him rest, in DLO was unplayable

So true, when they made that trade for AG they were rolling and probably would've made a deep run that year and then Murray goes down. They've finally got here after building this for a long time, even in the bubble they made the conference finals.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

People gotta start giving Denver defense some props

They've been better this entire postseason than I thought they would be.

 

[Koli_Kat]

That’s all Jimmy. He’s such a weird player to watch.

He's not wierd at all. You can't spam switches and pump fakes on the nuggets they have to many long and persistent defenders

 

[Surreal]

The new Kings Of The Court played a C- game tonite if we're being honest

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Lowry was +2 and it felt like Miami played better with him on the floor
