2023 NBA Finals, Game 3: Nuggets @ Heat, 6/7 @ 8:30pm

37% shooting horrible. Liked our flow earlier in the game. Once they took control we never could get out of the mud.

[DayofMourning]

Them were some **** bricks we were tossing up tonight. That and the insane aversion to boards, and you had a blowout

[Shewasfly]

Herro would help so much on offense . Herro is a good rebounder as well but his turnovers and bad defense gets me nervous

He's not in game shape nor has he been playing against anyone going near game speed. It's quite possible he could play next game with Miami losing this game to try to get him somewhat use to games peed.

Butler and Bam took 42 2pt shots and made 17 of them, not even a point per shot yet took 42 2s. <- that's where Miami lost the game, with both of them spamming 2s you end up taking the 3pt shooters out of the flow of the offense which is highly important for Miami's role-players.

Trying to work a guy back into the rotation in a must win game is not the way to go.

If he's at least 75% he's suiting up. Whether he plays or not is a whole different story.

You can give him 3-6 minutes in the first and second half of the game without too much damage. This is coming from a person who wanted Herro jettisoned from Miami (and still wants that) for some help for Butler and Bam.

Other banner might be Wade’s new banner once he gets into HOF?

[Daffy]

Pathetic. Series over. Spo getting outcoached so please stop all this GOAT nonsense and Jimmy ain’t nothing but the unwanted stepchild of MJ.

Out coached? Murray being blistering hot, refs not given us some questionable calls, lack of rebounding effort, Gabe being out most of the first half. Spo wasn't perfect but out coached seems like a bit much.

[Wiltside]

It’s a brutal blow, but the series ain’t over. But we will now need to win another game in Denver.

Lose game 4 and we’re done for though. Handing back home court is demoralizing, but I think we all probably expected they’d win the first 2 and we’d win game 3 at home. Same position now, just need to win game 4 to guarantee this is going at minimum 6.

[MHeat0279]

Spo killed Yurt when he was coming out of his shell, he literally killed him by benching him for good.

LOL you realize yurt was hurt right? Good coaches don't bench good players for no reason

No bro, you have to go way back, Yurt kept us afloat during Bam's injury, once Bam came back Yurt was delegated back to the end of the bench. It was such a long time ago i forgive you for not remembering.

If he plays it would limited minutes. I'd be surpised if he plays more than 15. Spo won't risk a game to get him rhythm. He'll be on a very quick leash. So I'm not worried about.

On the Butler/Bam thing someone needs to ask Spo that. I'm kinda pissed cuz that costs us a chance in the game. He had a very poor coaching game in my opinion. And Duncan needs to play more. This is another thing I don't understand. Why are his minutes low when he changed the last game.

Go back in the hole you crawled out from and never come back again.

[powerball1373]

Of course, this prick Malone leaves Murray and Jokic in to stat pad at the end of a blowout. Classy.

They messed with the game. Prob why UD was in. Too bad he didn't get a chance to put Murray on his ass.

[HeatFanDan]

Read on Twitter

Captain Hook Herro and Hardwood Highsmith will save us.

Meh. Murray had like 20 before his barrage of stat padding at the end. Not impressed.

[miamiballer]

We have the heart of a champion and are a good team. But what can you do when joker and Murray don’t miss, it’s demoralizing. Puts so much pressure on your offense to score every single time. I can live with losing to Denver in the finals, it is what it is

[Lilseb93]

We're a flawed team that makes it work because we have great execution and effort. The problem is you can't be perfect all of the time. It's hard to maintain that level of consistency. The best teams don't always have to be perfect. We do. We have no margin of error. We're in the Finals and that's great but if we lose again, the current roster isn't going to get it done. I'm not saying blow it up. We just need more scoring that isn't reliant on jacking up a bunch of 3s and Bam/Jimmy just being efficient.

We need the easy buckets.
We need the easy rebounds.

[KingDavid]

Jimmy and Bam went 17/42 from 2? Damn, Denver let them shoot.

[AirP.]

Strus, 5 for 27 in the Finals, too bad he's the better defender of all the 3pt shooters minus Martin.

[SerialChiller]

This team has to do everything the hard way. We just needed our backs against the wall more before putting together another good game.

Does our offense look like it has possessions to spare? A handful of possessions could be the game and the series.

[Wiltside]

Cringe that they kept Murray in to get his triple double. I expect that in the regular season, not the Finals.

Whatever. Hopefully the team takes it as disrespect and fires up. We were flat tonight.

[gom]

Not great. We have to win 3 of the next 4 now. We knew it would be tough though. What changed the game most for me were the successive foul calls against Vincent in the second quarter. We lost our momentum and never really got it back.
