Series Thread: 2023 NBA Finals: Heat vs. Nuggets

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.

Doesn’t mean that at all.

Denver will make their own matchup decisions independent of what Miami does.

Gordon not going to be guarding Herro unless off some type of switch.

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.

Lack? I'd say more like resistant to culture...especially in Minny.

I guess to answer the question, someone would have to tell me why Miami only won 44 games.

Regular season being overrated. Getting hot at the right time/being healthy enough at the time were biggedr factyors this year.

 

[tlance]

On paper it is a historically weak run of opponents.

However, all of these teams (except Minnesota) were preseason contenders who struggled during the regular season for 1 reason or another.

So not really weak at all.

Last year too. Warriors regular season was meh, they got healthy right when the playoffs started.

This is parity, lots of teams with shots at the title instead of 2-3

Who remembers this legendary play in Heat-Nugget lore?

You are a strange dude, carry on

After actually SEEING starving children in Africa about a month ago I'd say even THEY have a better life than bubble belly...

I'm sure you're also looking forward to the new Foo Fighters album set to release this week.

Holy shit dude! Maybe you should learn when to shut your mouth once in awhile. I had no beef with you until you spewed this diarrhea out of your mouth. You think listening to the Foo Fighters is some kind of put down? Go back to fapping to Teletubbie videos.

No dude. Foo Fighters is my favorite. That's the point. One doesn't need to view me as their rival simply because I trash talk Heat/Lakers fans.

Rival- a person or thing that tries to defeat or be more successful than another...

Thought he might get a better understanding if someone broke it down for him...

As far as the Heat, Warriors, and Lakers, it ain't even close to being a "rivalry" compared to the Nuggets or the Pacers. Just sayin'...

You wouldn't say that as an insult if you knew the things Tinky Winky can do.

The dude brags about his girls high school basketball blog in a delusional way. It’s evident that he’s Walter Mitty suffering from delusions of grandeur.

Been telling you guys this for a minute now. I still remember him openly perving a high school girl on this forum a few years back.

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

The West upper seeds didn't hold up very well other than Denver.

 

[shopson67]

I know All Time, the Lakers/Celtics rivalry is one of the longest and best, but over the last, lets say 15years, wouldnt you say the Celtics biggest rivalry is with the Heat? (This question serves no purpose, just thinking out loud) lol

Well sure, since the Celtics haven't faced the Lakers in the playoffs since 2010. The Celtics/Lakers rivalry is based far more on history (60s, 80s) than the past 30 years.

Heat are much more of a pick and roll team than the lakers. If Herro is somewhat healthy, he can expose jokic big time

Suns were a heavy pick and roll team but Denver handled it well.
