Series Thread: 2023 NBA Finals: Heat vs. Nuggets

[DJ Fieri]

Not having Herro is the biggest issue, imo. He has to be accounted for and takes a lot of pressure off of Jimmy and Bam. I don't think they'd be having to try to score against 2 or 3 guys as often as they have in this series.

Boom

That Jimmy might not have been enough vs Denver.

Caleb Martin has not been good in the Finals. Has not been the same player he was vs the Celtics. Not even close.

Vincent and Strus also been ass.

Martin had a series he won’t ever forget. Neither will we. It’s like he became a top 15 player for a long moment in time.

Miami could not miss

It’s been a hell of a run but the Heat have just hit that proverbial wall. They’re 2-6 in their last 8 games since going up 3-0 on the Celtics.

He was getting a lot of open shots in the Boston series tho. It just feels like Denver has done a much better job on him defensively.

They likely watched those highlights. He was amazing

Jokic is now the 1st player in league history to have 500 pts, 250 rebs & 150 asts in a single post season.

The Vincent-Strus-Butler-Martin-Bam unit with a 97 offensive rating this series

Lowry-Robinson-Butler-Martin-Bam unit with a 132 offensive rating.

If you're not starting Dunc then you must have an extremely short leash with Vincent & Strus

This is Miami only chance to get this back to downtown Miami on Thursday. Bam & Jimmy can get you their usual 45-50 points but if the 3 ball is not falling then the season ends on Monday

Does Tyler Herro pick out his own outfits?

If so he gots some really bad taste.

It was funny when Stan Van made fun of him earlier in the series.

 

[SpringStein]

Any chance they move mpj to get some more depth and salary flexibility?

I don’t see that as the Nuggets “way”. They are very patient with players and in essence he has only played three years since HS. There were plenty of Nuggets fans wanting Murray traded, but instead they gave him a max contract ebven when he hadn’t really earned it yet.

I’m more thinking that they are going to lose brown and be light on depth

The wife: "Gordon is a monster tonight. I should have bet on him to get 20 points tonight."

LOL.

Only way I'd bet him with points is taking the under. It will work out more often than not.

 

[dtgold88]

They have done it before this playoffs and looked just fine....in games not close to as big as this one

Is it just not possible Spo and the other coaches know their players better than the fans?

He played them the entire 2nd half as we asked so he clearly did what the fans asked.....

 

[dtgold88]

You aren’t winning jack when strus Martin and Vincent shoot like that

Exactly.....I don't think there was a magic rotation that changes the outcome of the terrible play from them.

Though glad Martin got a meaningless layup late to go over 10.

I'm sure he's tuned in to Twitter to get fan input during games. Wise move.
