Ok it's unacceptable. Now what?

Nothing. It will be ignored because the best team won. Green font mofo.

Not mad but disappointed

I was rooting for the Heat but thank God Denver won because the crying and wailing of Nuggets fans plus some others would have been unbearable

The Heat put up a heck of a fight just get to the finals, they played their hearts out and they just unfortunately ran into a tough Denver team.

Same with for me with the Lakers, just have to accept that the better team won.....for now.

Honestly i will get over this one much faster than the bubble finals. At that point i didnt know what this group was. 3 years later and they were in the final 4 2 of those 3 seasons. Little doubt with tweaks to the roster, they can get back here in a season or 2 and hopefully finally get it done

Congrats Nuggets fans. I didn't know Kroenke owned the Nuggets. Kroenke winning is the only crap thing about this.

Lol jokic is unguardable. There's other useful ways to improve the roster. Jokic play is not the reason they won the series. It was Murray and lack of shot making from Miami role players/not having another playmaker aka Herro

Going after guards is not going to improve our chances. Jokic may be unguardable, but having taller players to contain him and grab rebounds is a must.

Your chances of beating Denver with your tallest player being 6’9 is very very slim. Think of the Shaq Lakers back in the early 2000s and even the Tim Duncan’s Spurs. That’s what we’re dealing with right now in Jokic.

Bro, it doesn’t even have to be a Center, but we most definitely need another big. That small lineup shit ain’t gonna cut it against this team.

Wonder what Embild is thinking

Wouldn't mind Lowry back. Showed me lots of heart in these playoffs

He also owns the Avs, which means between these and the Rams he’s had a heckuva few years.

For his age and price?

He really turned it around after a pretty crappy regular season, all said.

Adjusting your roster for one team is silly. There is no guarantee we make it back here next season and same for Denver. There are very few big teams in the sport and none with a big all around talented as Jokic. Im not going to waste time getting a big to waste money on because of this. If they land a big dog like Dame, the focus should be on getting a stretch 4 to play next to Bam and finding the replacement for either Max/Gabe...make another smaller moves

And now, for the presentation of the trophy to an old white guy in a suit who didn't do a damn thing in tonight's game

Except pay all the guys who won it.

For his age and price?

He's under contract for one more season at $30M. They would need to find a trade partner willing to take that on, so he's most likely back with the Heat.

 

[bksballer89]

For his age and price?

He is an expiring contract i belive entering next year. What he brings to them in the playoffs is invaluable
