Series Thread: 2023 NBA Finals: Heat vs. Nuggets

It was made for big people

They’ve made it worse with this we need to make it easier for short people bs

The MVPs are still almost exclusively big players however. There was a stretch of 4 years for guards, but that's Curry x2 and a stat anomaly year for Westbrook included there. Otherwise, the past dozen years are centers and forwards.

 

[shopson67]

That is not at all what has happened.

And by the way, you still have to be big.

But you have to be incredibly skilled and athletic also.

Yeah, the lumbering big that just gets rebounds and putbacks has been largely sidelined. Not a bad thing, everyone should be able to shoot if you're a basketball player.

"I don't care." - @fightinfunbags

It's obvious you're not afraid to talk the talk, but when the outcomes doesn't play in your favor, you whine about it profusely. A Lot like your boy Embiid himself.

How is Embiid doing, btw?

Sure hope that MVP was fulfilling, because the other guy is one win away from a ring. And Harden can bold back to Houston, therefore Embiid can go continue to bitch that "his teammates aren't good enough".

The difference between Embiid and Jokic has been abundantly obvious since 2018 (except for a few "Process" nutlickers). Attitude. Embiid has a for-shit attitude and so little between the ears.

That's not "being opinionated". Those are just facts. The Nuggets will hoist the trophy next week while Embiid will continue to wallow in mediocrity, and really his own doing.

Cry more, hypocrite.

That's a lot of words to tell us all that you're a dumb whiny loser.

The Nuggets are fun and you don't deserve them.

He's carpet-bagging anyway.

He shot OK at LSU; Philly broke him.

What? Just looked up his college stats and he went 1-3 from 3 all year.

 

[Manster7588]

Im not here daily, but he's definitely the same asshat.

I think this will be the game where MPJ or Max Strus finally goes off and obviously I’m hoping for the former, but the worst thing Denver can do is count out the Heat because they’re down 3-1 and give them life.

I think the Nuggets win and leave no doubt. That place will be geeked up. They already had their let down in Game 2 and then came out like gang busters. I think they’ll respond to the weight of the opportunity to celebrate at home in front of their fans.

I don’t know if coming back and trying to get into game shape in Altitude is a smart decision but you gotta do what you think gives you the best chance to win so I respect it.

He's been in contact practices for over a week now lol

And practice isn’t a game where the game moves 10x quicker. He's probably not worried about his hand, he should be worried about his conditioning.

 

[bksballer89]

If he can hit 2-3 from beyond the arc then he did what was necessary. Another playmaker as well. Winning this game tonight is a complete game changer now

Get it back to Miami

They are not going to play him 45 minutes. I would expected 5-6 minutes stint so we are talking about 20-25 minutes unless he looks amazing in his first stint. I'm pretty sure he can do that for them

 

[bksballer89]

With Tyler back, i think this goes 7 if they find a way to get this back to Miami tonight
