This will be a dope one. Best team vs the most clutch team thats on a crazy run. I'm pulling for the Miami Heat to win but not mad if Denver win
Nugs for the sweep
The last time the HEAT won in Denver, Jokic and Murray were both coming off the bench in the 2016-17 season

I just don't understand how anyone can think the Heat win this.
Denver just swept Bron and AD. They snatched the soul of KD and Booker. Them two mfers had to go nuclear just to take some games off them.
Butler and the scrubs ain't putting a scratch on them

Very interesting seeing the Nuggets in 4 and 5 posts on here and then seeing how they will switch up after game 2 or 3.
Spo will run circles around Malone coaching wise he isn't Darvin Ham when it comes to adjustments as well as X/O's
So a team that has won every series as underdogs make it to the finals just to get swept?
Denver on paper is not a better team than Boston defensively.

Nuggets should bully these dudes on the boards and win in 5.

Your team got spanked and mopped on their home floor in a game 7 with over 8 million people watching live TV on a holiday. On top of that they were a 7.5 fav to win game 7 at home.I just don't understand how anyone can think the Heat win this.

Just don't understand how you invite all the Celtics legends to game 7 and have the crowd chanting MVP for Derrick White to get embarrassed like that.
What adjustments/scheme do you see the Heat implementing to handle Jokic given he's killed Bam almost every single time he's faced up with him?
Last time they played each other in Feb -
Jokic went 12-14 from the field and the Heat had no answer for him. Murray didn't play in this game either.

How much did the Heat lose by those two games they played the Nuggets during the season? They played twice you posted only one game.
Murray played in one of the two games and had less than 20 pts he obviously was not healthy 100% or the same version he is now.
You limit and have defensive plan for Murray you obviously can't shut down Jokic unless you have him in foul trouble. Coaching matters in the finals Malone is another version of Bud and you will see it this series.

This has been the same narrative for Miami every series “I don’t see how they’ll win”. Now they in the finals lol. I have no horse in this race but it definitely feels like something special happening with the Heat.

Didn’t you say the Heat were going to be blown out?We smoking on that Auerbach pack all night
Whatever shortcomings you believe Malone has as a coach is negated by Jokic being able to control everything on the floor (a caliber of player the Heat don't have at their disposal). Not too dissimilar to coaching not factoring into it when Bron was in his prime and he took control of games. When he ran through the East for a decade he didn't have the best coach in every single series did he?
I think you're putting far too much emphasis on coaching here given we just saw the Heat cough up a 3-0 lead and if it wasn't for Tatum and Jaylen no-showing in Game 7 (which we've seen from them in the past), it would've been arguably the greatest collapse in playoff history.
If the Heat were to win this series it'll be on the basis on them getting hot from 3 (as has been their story this postseason), and not because of whatever margin you believe there is in coaching.
