Ok don’t be silly. He can punish KCP, Murray, and Porter jr. Y’all always go overboard with the bullshyt

He was indecisive and waited on the double instead of going early

Murray is just as strong as him if not stronger and Porter is 6"10 so who is he punishing?

Everyone shoots bad against the Heat. It’s not a coincidence.
Denver shot 39% and 40% from behind the arc, respectively, in their two regular season matchups with Miami.

Their outside shooting tonight was more to do with not playing for a week. Unless you believe they'll shoot this terribly in every game going forward?

This a different animal heat brehs. Heat spent the playoffs finding this Vincent/Caleb/struts/Jimmy/bam death line up and the nuggets just abused it for the whole 1st quarter.

Spo now has to go away from his best lineups to find something that can match up to just the regular nuggets starting lineup. Just don’t think they have the personnel to do it.

T.L.C.
Jokic patterned his game after:
Vlade
Drazen Petrovic
Tim Duncan
LMA
Boris Diaw
Dirk

Makes sense, I can see the influence from those guys

Did he also say Peja?

Vlade Dodi :whew:

I can see it, Flopping ass motherfukker was nice, could pass and could be slippery for a big.

This should've been a Denver 25-30 point game win. If you're a Denver fan should be worried about the inability to execute large leads and put the game away. That 4th quarter exposed a lot of stuff they do wrong.

Those who said Denver in 4 or 5 changing their picks in the polls already.

It is like reliving the lakers series after game 1

You gotta actually watch the game. Like you’re bringing up those regular season stats, Murray didn’t play in either one of those games and the nuggets/heat rotations were different.


Look at how Denver got their shots from the perimeter this game. Look at the type of shots Porter was taking. Look at who was actually taking the shots. I’m not saying they can’t get hot, I’m saying the Heat’s PLAYOFF defense forces teams to take low percentage perimeter shots.

Please don't ever compare butler to lebron ever again..After Jimmy gets swept by the nuggets we can finally put the asinine notion to bed that his playoff run was more impressive than anyone of lebron
The nuggets will win in 4 or 5 games
