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

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Half those 2011 heat comebacks were off holes that Ilgauskas & Bibby put them in right out the gate with their defense. Off the top of my head I’d guess that 4-5 of these were 2nd half comebacks and there would be another on there if they’d just boxed out the inbounds man in game 6.

It's almost like they get more comfortable in their offense when they're down 10+. shyt is infuriating

Let me help you fellas out:

1. “it’s just one game”
2. “Jokic did his job tho. What more can he do?”
3. “They were undefeated at home they had to lose at some point”
4. “Joker’s teammates didn’t step up”
5. “Miami played their best game”
6. “Jamal Murray has to play better”
7. “Mike Malone should’ve made some better adjustments”

That letting Joker score rhetoric has some weight but Heat barely won. Need Murray and MPJ to play a lot better and show up consistently in these Finals.

Need KCP not to be so horrible too. Dude had as many fouls as he did points. And they were some of the dumbest fouls you'll ever see on 3 point shooters too.

it's wild how ABC has to do a real postgame because Jimmy Kimmel can't do his show

Bam should play up to his full potential and dominate this series. Jokic doesn’t play good defense.

He’s their key.

Denver’s key is Murray.
When he dominates they’re at their best

Miami defense is stingy for PGs. Even Trae had his struggles with them. This is a series they need MPJ or Gordon to win it and we all know Denver don't go deep into their bench.

ABC needs to be banned from NBA finals games

never seen denver make these mistakes all playoffs till today.. in fact against the lakers they not only out executed they hit a couple prayers every game.

heat does seem to do any and everything to get teams out of rhythm

 

[old pig]

damn…missing this game especially the ending put me in a sour fukking mood…I think I need to go back to basic cable…haven’t had that in years but I shouldn’t be missing games when I’m paying for a fukking service

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Way too much complaining about the refs

Everyone except Jokic looked out of sync and even even had some moments where he looked rattled

Lot to learn from this game, lot of missed opportunities

Miami attacked a little more this game but not as much as I thought they would

They just knocked down shots and got to the free throw line a little more

 

[threattonature]

I loved the tweaks Spo made to the zone as well to start fronting Jokic when he'd go to get the ball at the top of the key and shading a man behind him just to make the entry to him more difficult. Jokic went off but he was hitting some tough ass shots.

 

[Rich Spirit]

Well we all knew Denver wasn't going to sweep the Heat. Nice bounce back game by Miami. Now we'll see what adjustments Denver will make. Murray gotta play better and MPJ was just downright atrocious on defense. You kind of felt it was just Miami's night.

You would be too if you had to sit next to two dusty cacettes. I can smell the old one from here
