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

[CHICAGO]

YOURE NOT GONNA STOP JOKIC
BUT IF YOU CAN STOP MURRAY
YOU GOT A CHANCE.

​

IF YOU START LOVE
YOU CAN SAG HIM OFF GORDON
AND PUT JIMMY ON MURRAY.

MPJ has been terrible so far
Him being a non-factor hurts them a lot cause he's supposed to be their sniper and their go to when other teams start going on runs to stop the bleeding with a 3

He's not a good player. Such a brutal and unnecessary contract.

 

[old pig]

Lmao why are y’all such Heat haters anyway

I don’t hate the heat don’t do that…but I can be a victim of the moment when it comes to their team cuz I be focusing too much on butler instead of giving props and recognizing the consistency of role players like martin, struss, and vincent who still continue to surprise me…obviously you feel differently about the team cuz it’s your team and you’ve been following them long enough to know how much better they are than folks realize…I’m just unfamiliar with them…that’s all

 

[CP3.]

The Nuggets had more FT in both games than we had tonight. Lmao y’all are insane

Ah yes, cause FT's are the only way to manipulate a game.

They missed 3 blatant out of bounds calls. All called in favour of Miami.

They missed a blatant goaltend against Miami.

None of that shows up on the box score but it effects the game.

Lol look at what not having a 20-2 ft advantage does

 

[Ziggiy]

word I thought dude was suspect.

The coli said it so much but what sealed it in my mind was when he went OUT of his way to call Jordan “Incredibly Handsome” in the Last Dance documentary.

 

[Derek Lee]

Make this POS Porter JR. get vaccinated three times

Media was calling nuggets the next dynasty already this morning

 

[#1 pick]

Refs genuinely let them play for the most part. There were a lot of non calls. Bodies literally drop everywhere.

As a basketball fan, you can't hate this, it's what they game has been missing.

I've been saying for years, they are the Seattle Seahawks of the NBA. A lot of shyt they do every possession that they get away with because of Heat culture. It reminds me of the 90s Riley Knicks

 

[BrehWyatt]

Nuggets are very capable of winning both on road, relax

They are surely capable.
I'd be STUNNED if Miami didn't get at least one at home. They were always going to "#HEATCulture" their way to a win or two.

Fukl outta here like 20-2 ft didn’t effect game 1

Miami was ok with Jokic going off so the other players can get hit from him being a facilitator. The blitzing zone by the heat is throwing off the nuggets.

I want them to press and trap Jokic more. I know he can handle the ball but sooner or later he’s gonna lose it.

Starting Kevin Love was a brilliant move. He tempered down Aaron Gordon’s confidence from game 1 since he wasn’t able to bully Love.

 

[JT-Money]

Nobody else thought to play zone against Denver except the Heat?

 

[GoldenGlove]

Denver should have just went to the rack on that last possession. There was like 13 seconds left when they got that rebound

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

One thing Denver missed that they could've exploited.....

1st half of game 1, they were running the offense through Aaron Gordon and he was looking like a young LeBron the way he was driving in & scoring at will. Miami had no answer for his size/athleticism combo. I'm not sure why or how but they didn't try that again today.

Spo changed the lineup and put K-love in to stop that exact thing. It was a smart move
