Series Thread: 2023 NBA Finals: Heat vs. Nuggets

[HurricaneDij39]

I'm ok either way.you, like your boyfriend WiggityWack, think one title will erase YEARS of mediocrity. Not to mention your hatred for successful franchises, of course...

A “successful” franchise that got swept by the Nuggets…

If the Nuggets want to post AG when they have Jokic, Murray and MPJ on the floor that’s a huge win for Miami. If AG was that guy the Orlando Magic wouldn’t have quit on him.

In Orlando he was option number 1. In Denver he has embraced being option number 4 on O. I’m a huge fan of his (even when many Nuggets fans aren’t) and super appreciative of his taking on this role while providing strong D from positions 1-4 on the court.

Well, let's see...

The experts picked the Bucks...several here picked the Heat.

The experts picked the Celtics...several here picked the Heat.

How did those 2 work out?

Enjoy two sweeps in the same postseason, then.

Yeah, going to say it. If Miami is going to steal one in Denver it has to be on Thursday. My prediction is that if Nuggets shake off rust in Game 1, they will sweep.

He should. This is the weakest path to a ring I’ve ever seen. They’re playing 4 opponents and 3 of the 4 were play in teams.

That's not on the Nuggets, it's on the rest of the brackets. Injuries and late trades mucked everything up this year.

 

[bksballer89]

I understand what you're saying. But I don't think the Nuggets will change things up like that and give Gordon more 3 attempts per game.

Of course the Heat would love it if the Nuggets did that. And that's why it's a bad idea for Denver.

Yep and Malone is smart enough to know that as well which is why i think Miami can get away with putting a Herro or Strus on him

I never said it was. I’m just stating a fact.

Gotta own up to the Bucks series being a bit skewed by the Giannis injury, right?

Taking advantage of that easy path is of course more impressive than losing despite it (Celtics). Both faced 7th and 8th seeds, and I'm guessing most would've picked the Celtics over the Nuggets before the playoffs.

Cool. I didn’t say it wasn’t.

I didn't say you did.

You wanna fucking fight about it!

Like I said before, Herro isn't an automatic + for Miami. That means less minutes for guys that are playing well. Martin has been the 2nd best player for them recently and Herro was taking up most of his minutes before. Depends on the lineups but Miami's chemistry has been unbelievable w/o Herro, that can't be questioned.

A “successful” franchise that got swept by the Nuggets…

And STILL has 17 more O'Brien's than BOTH of yours...

Read 'em and weep, chubs...

Herro and Martin started most of the season until Love got here. His minutes doesn't conflict with Martin. The players who minutes likely take a hit are Lowry, Duncan, and possibly Strus

An actual HOFer and former teammate Pau Gasol even once said that some of Jimmy’s comments with the Bulls should have been kept indoors.

Again, great player for the Heat but his ego is 100 percent the reason he’s played for so many teams. Through the Miami bias on the board there is literally no evidence to dispute that.

I mean, you can say what you want - he's played for crap organizations in terms of Minnesota and Chicago. In Miami, he's been two 3x conference finals and is now in his second NBA finals. The truth is in the pudding, Jimmy wasn't the problem. Lack of culture in the aforementioned organizations were.

Every single one of the experts at CBS (my feud w/ Sam Quinn documented) is picking Denver.

Yet more than half of the frequent posters on here are picking Miami.

But no, not a Miami Heat message board... Sure.

Name dropping a feud? Seriously? You are a sad person.

 

[thunderc]

Crying because people are picking Miami is stupid lol. Go find yourself a nuggets board if you are looking for that

He’s been kicked off most of them

 

[Heatles84]

More Nuggets fans coming out of the woodwork with truth bombs. Love to see it.

I still think it's a crime that you're a fan of multiple teams.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

I want Nuggets in 5 (but will probably be Heat in 7)
