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

[ikbm]

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

the number 1 team in paint points and ft's struggled vs the nuggets. why do you think the lowest scoring team in the nba will miraculously score 60 points in the paint every game
the only way the heat win is if they go bonkers from 3.

Bam is a phenomenal defender but he's at his witz with Jokic. Capela used to give hell to Jokic. I remember AD would kill him but now that he's in shape. Everyone is getting that work.

The question is, how many titles can Jokic win. The new CBA will be something to look for

Y’all keep saying this but they won’t be able to keep that team together. They made some good offseason moves. This is a one shot deal

 

[Theo Penn]

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

Looking more like 4-5 games

 

[Bathing Ape]

LMAO

THATS NOT WHAT HAPPENED AT ALL.

I DONT RECALL ONE PUMP FAKE...

2 DEFENDERS WERE STAYING
WITH JIMMY ON THOSE SWITCHES
SO HE WAS LOOKING FOR HIS SHOOTERS.

IT LOOKS GREAT WHEN THEYRE
SHOOTING LIGHTS OUT
AND IT LOOKS HORRIBLE
WHEN THEYRE 2-22


​

All this new random jimmy hate is weird as hell

 

[desjardins]

Chalking this game to the Heat being exhausted from tough previous series
Playoff Jimmy was trash, them undrafted “others” missed hella open shots, heat had Gorden in the post looking like prime Shaq in the first first half and MPJ blocking tentative ass layups

 

[Koli_Kat]

just like when Houston missed 27 straight at some point you got to say to yourself i don't got the shot tonight let me do something different

Analytics says they'll eventually start falling

 

[GunRanger]

As long as joker gets the ball at free throw line, the zone is useless.

It just plays to his strengths

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Honestly don’t think either team played super well

Sure Caleb, Duncan, and Strus shot horribly

MPJ, KCP, and 2nd half Murray weren’t that great either

Big men were dope, though; Jokic brought it home in the 4th

 

[Ribbs]

Series feeling a bit sweep-ish

 

[ikbm]

Uhhh do you not realize that Jokic was much less efficient due to certain matchups/schemes... And honestly each of those games he hit some ridiculous shot that in the end were key points in their win

Lakers played some good defense to slow down Jokic to an extent in the games after Game 1

thats the lakers. the heat are not equipped with that length or size. they can run as much zone as they want though. if you think jokic wont eventually dice it up..thats on you.

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

Once Porter and Gordon blocked a couple shots at the rim it spooked them.

????????

JOKIC SHOT 63% THIS SEASON...
LAKERS HELD HIM
UNDER 50% IN EACH OF THE
LAST 3 GAMES...

I SAID HE LOOKED REGULAR.
I DIDNT SAY HE LOOKED BAD.

Sounds like when LA found Rui on Jokic

Heat just need to shoot better & get to the line.

Edit: u already addressed this

 

[old pig]

Uhhh do you not realize…
