Heating Up Some Nuggets To Go With My 'Big-Face Coffee'! | Official Miami HEAT (#8) vs. Denver Nuggets (#1) | 2023 NBA Finals Thread

[RubioTheCruel]

The difference between good and great players is that great players would've swished Jamal Murray's last shot. He had an amazing look

I see people shytting on Malone for not calling a TO and running a play but what play could he have run to get a better shot than the one Murray took?

I’m not giving Spolestra any time to set up a defensive set.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

His catch and shoot 3s will start to fall but the issue is that’s all the offense allows him to do. It’s hard to stay in rhythm when you’re not touching the ball for multiple possessions in a row.

 

[AkaDemiK]

3 more.

 

[BucciMane]

A lot of ppl knowledge of the game and resorting to the age ole casual “ref mongering” shows the true mentality of the nonsense of this thread and forum when it comes to the game of Bball.
Nugs first 3 qtrs got the mega benefit of calls. Especially the non calls BAM received.
To blame this game on Refs toward the HEAT is laughable and ridiculous

Officiating didn't cost them. The Heat actually hitting their open threes this game and MPJ being far and away the worst player on the floor is what decided this game.

MPJ has been in this series for the Nuggets what Cody Zeller has been for the Heat all playoffs.

Beyond embarrassing.

Great players miss open looks in big moments all the time . Bird, MJ, LeBron, Curry, Duncan, Stockton, Wade, Westbrook, & Kobe have all blown it on open looks in the finals with the game on the line.

 

[JesusFOREVER]

Nah, they just need MPJ to get his head out of his ass. When his shot is falling he plays with much more energy defensively.

Good luck with that, #1 defense against the 3pter and hes never been a particularly smart or consistent player; hes already rattled after one loss at home and refused to speak to the media

Denver is screwed as long as they have the biggest liability on defense in the NBA standing in the middle

@3Rivers @nyknick

Need the Spo version of

Spo has heard all of the contrived narratives revolving around his team and gets irritated whenever he feels like his guys aren't getting their due credit

You can’t even address ignorance like this, just block and KIM

I thought Jokic was the most unstoppable force we’ve seen this side of Wilt? Now it’s everyone else’s fault

 

[Left.A1]

Just like the lakers found out last round Spo realized it doesn’t make much sense to try to play small against this Denver team … they have too much size on the front court and are really good on the boards … good smart adjustment getting Love in there and playing him together with Bam

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

The scapegoating of MPJ after 3 days of “Jokic is the best in the world and GOAT offensive player” posting is just shameless

It’s giving desperation

 

[JesusFOREVER]

Bam Adebayo hasnt had back to back 20 10 games in a MONTH

Dude is an awful defender and got picked apart at the end by Miami get over it

Real lucky Jimmy Butler is hobbled and Tyler Herro isnt out there or it would get really ugly for Joker

 

[MoshpitMazi]

Jokic defense is not good enough, yes i love what he can do on offense but he needs to step it up a bit on the other end.
