Denver should definitely be worried. This is almost a replay of the Lakers series in reverse for them.

Nuggets have four guys playing well and nothing else. Miami has five guys playing well and Jimmy hasn't broken out yet, which will make it six. Strus and Martin are due for big games as well.

Miami’s defense is so fantastic and I think people still think teams look lost against them because they don’t understand the design.

They have had multiple series of making the lives of multiple stars or 2nd options into hell.

The casuals will ignore this and listen to those ESPN fools. This defense just shows you how much coaching matters in the playoffs. His assistants are mainly former players and they are team that has a vet like UD as a mentor.

Wild stat I ran across since joining Miami Heat Jimmy Butler has the most playoff wins among current active players in the league.

The Heat scored 36 points on just *19 possessions (a rate of 189.5 per 100) in the fourth quarter.

That’s the most efficient fourth quarter for any team in any game in the last two seasons (2,640 total games X two teams each). In danger of falling into an 0-2 hole, the Heat trailed by eight with 12 minutes left … and then came up with their best offensive quarter of the season.

Near-damn perfect in the 4th to pull out a three-point win.

We have the most wins with 38, then the Celtics in 2nd with 36, then the Bucks in 3rd with 29.

It really is wild to think about when you look at it.

So Jimmy, Strus, and Martin are due for big games but no one on Denver is due for a big game. :why: Make it make sense.

As long as the Heat make it a competitive series. I'm good. The 1st game we shot like shyt the 1st 3 quarters and by the time we started to make a run it was too late and Jokic just kept putting us away. If we can keep it close by the 4th I think we have a chance for game 3.
