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

The decision to use Herro should depend on his condition and whether he can contribute. Tonight our offense was really bad but we had plenty of good looks. Most just clanked off the front of the rim. A 50% Herro could make 15 pts tonight.

We have nothing to lose with Herro. Nobody expects us to win this series and if everyone is stinking up the place, let Herro swing for the fences. I don't give af. Go down swinging. That's all I can ask for if we're going to lose.

I think Herro will be our Hail Mary if we drop game 4 and are down 3-1 heading to Denver.

That makes a little more sense. If he's even healthy enough to play at all this series.

I'd rather go down swinging with the guys that got us here.

If we're down in game 4 and we really need offense, just put in Herro and hope he can spark the team. Put him on a short leash. If we lose game 4, then go full desperate mode and play him a lot more.

Apologies gents, i was wrong on the dub tonight. I lost a chunk of money tonight too.

[HeatFanDan]

We need a Jimmy game real bad.

I can’t stand Murray taunting after every little thing he does. Dude is super unlikeable.

This, + 1,000,000.

[Grumpy Heat Fan]

lots of tentative shots, players were afraid to shoot. Their strategy as it should be was to dominate our paint. We played Jokic well but cant let the Browns on the world outplay you. Nuggets eared it with effort beating us to loose balls and overall effort and energy. We looked lost all game. Gotta get the next one.

also Murray makes everything

[Spacely]

If we go down 3-1 just lose at that point…this ain’t the 16’ cavs

Can’t stand that cocky coach of theirs

Hahaha. That is some cocky ****. We just take the next 3.

That, sucks, bro. If I know this rigged league like I think I do, game 4 is ours.

[carnageta]

I don't think we intentionally held out Herro tonight.. and I don't quite think it would be desperation if he did dress up for game 4. I actually believe Spo and the staff when they say that he's not game ready. A broken hand is no easy chore to come back from - it's not even about Herro sucking it up and taking a bottle of Tylenol.. it's about passing those pre-game checks and strenuous examinations, something he has not been able to do with that hand thus far.

Maybe he'll be ready to by Friday..

I'm glad someone else noticed. Guys with open looks pulling the ball down with no idea where to pass to. Guys were refusing to fire if there was a defender in the same area code. Guys need to know when they catch it if it's going up or where they are swinging to. Otherwise it gives the defense time to catch up to the ball movement.

We were very disappointing.

I learned not to bet on sports with the loteria esportiva in Brazil in the 80s. Ruins the enjoyment of the game, imo. Sorry about your loss though.

[carnageta]

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.

Lol tbf we had cut it to 9 and there was still over 80 seconds left. I wouldn't take any chances in the finals either. Best players would stay on until the bell in that situation.

whats up with all these blown out losses at home in this playoff last 2 years?

I'd rather have a monster Bam game.

[carnageta]

I think it's because our team feeds off of the energy in a hostile environment (i.e. the road). For whatever reason, we play too comfortable at home.

Pretty much the same issue the Celtics have as well lol. They have a losing record at home over the past 2 years I believe.

[HeatFanDan]

I'm frustrated by fans that can't recognize the many ways that refs can "influence" the outcome of a game, and would rather chalk it up to a "lack of effort" by the Heat. We're the Miami Heat. Our culture is BUILT on effort and outworking the opponent. I for one would never question this team's effort.

We were actually defending home court well until the Celtics series
