Series Thread: 2023 NBA Finals: Heat vs. Nuggets

[Yo Tee]

And he missed the playoffs every other season. Often on pretty bad teams.

It is an interesting tidbit. Nothing more than that.

I love how the stat is "Kevin Love is playing in his 5th NBA Finals, how impressive!" Instead of the real stat which is Kevin Love has made the playoffs in 5 of his 15 seasons. Wow, so impressive lol

Knicks in NEVER

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

Yeah, I think you are wrong here.

They might try it, but I expect Denver to take advantage.

Jokic doesn’t take most of his touches in the low post and he is absolutely a go with the flow guy.

If Gordon has a major mismatch, I do expect Denver to exploit it in a way that will still allow their best players to be involved.

Post ISO’s for Gordon aren’t going to happen, but they probably will involve Gordon in more actions that will expose the defender on him.

Leave Herro/Strus on KCP. It is the best option.

I am a long time fan of the Lions and the Timberwolves. As bad as each has been through history, I have never fully checked out of an entire Lions season like the Wolves drove me to. As a fan of 2 historically terrible franchises the Wolves are worse.

I'll say this, anyone ever calls you a bandwagon, tag me in. I got your back.

I dream of the day I am called a bandwagon fan. That implies success has happened!

It's kinda funny that the guy seeks validation from complete strangers. It'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic...

In fairness…

@bksballer89 is throwing some stones in his glass house here.

Had to chuckle when I saw the post about @HurricaneDij39 ”crying” because people disagreed with him.

Kind of funny.

I never said a word about people picking Milwaukee, New York, or Boston in the first 3 series

If that is true.....he needs to lighten up and get laid.

He'd have to find someone willing to sleep with him first. He'd be scraping the bottom of the barrel. And so would the other party.

I know exactly what you mean. Used to get "how can you be a fan of those pathetic Chiefs" to " you're a fuckin' bandwagoner" now that they've enjoyed some success. Hell, I love it...

I'll always remember from the CBS days, you stuck by your Chiefs. Got your back, home slice.

I believe he said he has a pet cat that he likes...

No, it's not because he's a Heat fan or anything.

He shoots a lot of mid range jumpers.....

He also sits down in the dunkers spot and is the recipient of a lot of Jokic’s assists.

True.

Amazing stat. Wonder if it has anything to do with
TWolves losing in 5 in their first round
Suns losing in 6 in their second round
Lakers losing by 4 in their third round

(Shhh, don’t tell anyone, but all to the lowly Nuggets)

I think the tweet was referencing the regular season win percentage.
TWolves .512
Suns .549
Lakers .524
Heat .537

You don’t even understand the comment he made. Why does Herro’s offensive numbers come in to play in a conversation about the role he would play on the defensive end of the court? You should go scour Wikipedia and learn more about the game of basketball. Front running for the only relevant Nuggets team in their history might be more fun for you if you took the time to learn about the great sport of basketball.

His point was he was fine putting Herro on Gordon because he wanted Gordon to shoot more, but if you put Herro on Gordon on defense that also means you put Gordon on Herro for Defense and so that’s a net positive for Denver.
