Series Thread: 2023 NBA Finals: Heat vs. Nuggets

[fightinfunbags]

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

If they win, they should request to stay in Denver. Miami has been meh at home.

 

[dtgold88]

He's in

Man that will still make it tough on the parlays (but better than not knowing I guess).

Good luck.

I hope so. Just need 10-15pts from him and he would have done more than Strus.

Coach Malone….

“Nugs have to play like they’re the team that’s down 3-1.

Malone wants Nuggets 'desperate,' as if down 3-1

Nuggets coach Michael Malone wants his team to approach Game 5 like they are down 3-1 instead of up. "They are desperate," Malone said, referring to the Heat. "We have to be more desperate. They are hungry. We have to be hungrier."

I feel like its easy for a coach to say that and preach that, its completely different for players to accept that. Players get cocky, especially after how good they have been beating up on Miami. This is one of those trap games for Denver.

Denver came back from 3-1 twice in the same playoff year a few years ago and so I’m sure Malone is coaching them on how you can’t take your foot off the gas and not take it easy.

The Nuggets have been a different team since Malone called out their effort in the 2nd half of game two.

They're more focused since then and with a 3-1 lead I just don't see them having a repeat of the 2nd half of game two tonight.

At this point, Im hoping for a Heat win, but not expecting it. They have been 2-6 since going up on Boston 3-0. They have been TERRIBLE at home, lackluster everywhere else. I just hope if they do lose tonight, they at least put forth a great complete game and make it competitive from start to finish. Not just a late run to even out the score a little. There is no shame in losing in the Finals as long as you go out swinging hard.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Has to be.

That is really messed up.

Not sure why he is singling you out with his garbage.

He messaged me too

Maybe he thought I was black idk

Have some guts you coward lol

Wait a minute that ain't right.

 

[shopson67]

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

Players can shoot from locations other than behind the arc
