Let's face facts, bot brehz,
If Spo pulls this off this will be the greatest heat team of all time. Period.

Does anyone have a breakdown as to how much offense Jokic produced when he went at the Zeller matchup? It felt like he just went into feast mode.
Jokic still did work against Bam, but is labored and drawn out. Against Zeller it was a walk in the park.

This is something that absolutely needs to be figured out. The bench mob all out blitzed us and it worked in that 2nd quarter. We need to turn bench minutes into advantage.
I expect Bruce Brown to become a 35+ mpg player the rest of the way for them.

Going back and watching some of the highlights it wasn't as bad as it appeared. There were two possessions in the 3rd quarter where Jokic backed Zeller down for a turnaround hook, one resulted in an And1. Excluding the foul it wasn't 'bad' defense, its the kind of shots he was hitting on Bam and Love and you have to live with it if you are going to guard that guy 1 on 1. Even some of the assists Jokic got were not Zeller's fault, like Highsmith falling asleep on AG in the corner right before the half. More concerning for Zeller is no rebounds and 3 fouls in 8 mins. I can live with competing and an offensive player knocking down tough shots but he has to impact the game somewhere.

Not nearly fiery enough for that comparison. I still think Horford is the best analog.

Horford is the player type Bam most parallels. But between his athletic tools and additional length, and early career play, he’s basically a supercharged version of prime Horford. He’s already cleared that summit and is still climbing.

They also said kerr is going to seek the same money.. just a feeling but i think Kerr will either retire or go to another team. And i think hes got his replacement waiting on the bench in Atkinson who turned down big money from charlotte.

Supposedly Kerr has been linked to taking over for Pop at some point to go coach Wemby. I don't see him really leaving before Steph is done though.

By the way, does the walrus ever miss shots, it looks like all the ugly shots he puts up go in. There must be at least a game he doesnt shoot at 100%

I just noticed that UD turns 43 on June 9th. Lets hope the team gives him a ton to celebrate.

This is NBA Finals, we are talking about effort; that’s a huge concern of mine,” a fuming Nuggets coach Michael Malone said postgame. “You guys probably thought I was just making up some storyline after Game 1 when I said we didn’t play well. We didn’t play well. Tonight, the starting lineup to start the game, it was 10-2 Miami. Start of the third quarter, they scored 11 points in two minutes and 10 seconds. We had guys out there that were just, whether feeling sorry for themselves for not making shots or thinking they can just turn it on or off, this is not the preseason, this is not the regular season. This is the NBA Finals. That to me is really, really perplexing, disappointing.
Go ahead and beat down your own guys.
I'm smirking throughout Malones post gm int. It was entertaining watching him put his team under the bus in front of all to see. He completely exposed himself as a novice in the NBA finals losing composure after a loss. Such a contrast to Spo & how he conducts himself.
Nuggets really were feeling themselves, they finally were challenged & now the head of their snake is shook. Just another coach that will be out matched by Spo's brilliance & another team confused of what Miami is currently doing to them. Soon it'll be over & we'll put you out of your misery.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

I agree. It's an old school approach.
