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

[JQ Legend]

I’m mad I passed out late 3rd quarter

 

[Da_Eggman]

Stressful AF being a heat fan

The Heat will have to win another one in Denver to win the series so it's far from over

All Miami has to do is win their 3 home games.

Damn Jimmy and the Heat handing Denver their first Home Loss in 3 Months. Like I said, Dark Horse of the Playoffs. Keep underestimating these guys. This isn't a normal 8th seed. The Heat will have to win another one in Denver to win the series so it's far from over.....but this was a good win because you didn't want to go back to Miami down 0-2. This Heat team is never out of it. They can grind you down and come back quickly.

No one who follows the east underestimating them


They smoked us all. These nikkas will cook you if you let your feet off the gas

AD is more naturally gifted, has better shot blocking instincts, and he’s more physically gifted but Bam has better positional defense probably due to being undersized.

Bam is also a much better passer than AD as well.



Bam is their most important player but Jimmy is the best because he puts the batteries in the back of the others.

I’ve said this numerous times that the only reason we can play guys like Duncan, Martin, and Gabe is because Bam is a legitimate defensive anchor and could be a DPOTY candidate.

He’s not consistent enough to be number one scoring option on all nights but his role as a release valve playmaker supercharges are offense. His passing and screen setting is worth more than a few more post moves

Thats a GREAT WAY of describing Bam. As a release valve. Couldn’t have put it better myself

 

[Ziggiy]

Both teams got away with at least two blatant missed calls

 

[Ziggiy]

Yes, it's an oversimplification.
But Spo didn't have to do ole girl like that.
Bc there IS a big difference btw 27pts/14 Assts and 41 pts/4 Assts.
Heat much more likely to lose if Jokic has 14 assists again. .

Spo ain’t trying to give the strategy away

Thats not happening. Aint enough cuban p*ssy in miami to win 3 games there

 

[Trav]

The extreme narrative flips after each game are always fun to watch/read

 

[Ziggiy]

Ehh… Denver really got jerked by that Butler OOB leading to a 3 by Vincent that was blatantly missed and the Bam goaltend on Murray. Tough pill to swallow when you lose by 3.

Breh the Lakers got swept. Dlo isn't worth four wins.

Yep. This is the only reason why Ham didnt win a game against Denver despite all the games being close. He goes big, even with TT, the lakers win that series despite Dlo playing terribly

If we defend homecourt we don't need another Denver win tbh.b

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Mike Malone is annoying as hell

God, Shut the fukk up with your fake hard ass routine

 

[T.he I.nformant]

What’s the counter from the Nuggets?

Hope Murray can play better in spite of Jimmy’s size and defense?

Run more screens on Jimmy to try to get someone else switched onto Murray?

From what I've seen you've guys have been killin it on the Road but you have only lost two home games this Post Season. I mean you won 3 games in Boston which the Sixers couldn't do. But yes if you defend home court you could win the series without winning in Denver. With that said Jokic was a beast out there but the Heat still pulled out that W.
