Why in the f*ck should we be scared?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What have they proven so far these finals? that they can beat a team coming in w/ just 2 days rest & having history for gm1 on their side? A better team wld have won by more. They couldn't even blow us out in the end. Now watch what happens in game 2.

I AIN'T SCARED OF THESE CHICKEN NUGGETS BRO!!


exactly, we just need to win game 2 and we take their HCA

we could won tonight, we had the looks, we just didnt make them


I don't see this Nuggets team any tougher than the team that just took us to 7 games. As far as i'm concerned our biggest obstacle was the Boston Celtics. We come in any fresher and we'd have shot far better considering how many open looks we missed & who knows what the results wld be. Denver simply caught us at the wrong time. 2 days rest and lets see how truly scary this Nuggets squad really is.


Not trying to be a pessimist as I think we still have a shot to win, but we are up against a high IQ team with the best IQ player in this league. They are not gonna take stupid shots like the Celtics and also did not take advantage of their size.

But still Heat in 6.

So tired of Jimmy’s disappearing act or Bam’s. These two betas never get hot together.

If you're not scared, you should be scared. That is a great team with an engine for an offense, and we struggled to stop them. We also couldn't get our offense going, and its not like they had nothing to do with that, even if we also missed a lot of open ones.

We need to tighten up in A LOT of areas or this will be a sweep. None of that moral victory crap.

I'm feeling good about game 1, to be fair we have a lot more scouting and analytics on Eastern conference opponents than we do on western coast teams. Makes sense we couldn't come out and take game 1 from a preparation standpoint. Miami needed to prod and probe a couple things to see what works, had our 3pt shooters done at least a mediocre job we would have been in this game at the minimum. Jimmy probably goes a bit more aggressive to close it out instead of just trying to find gaps in their defense all game I saw what he was doing, just driving and kicking all game seeing how their schematics reacted on breakdowns and pick and rolls.

The decision to play Jokic as a scorer was the wrong one, its actually the opposite you play Jokic as an oversized PG, deny him the ability to get the offense flowing as a distributor, bait him to be more scorer. It's opposite with Murray, you deny him the ability to score, and let me be more of distributor.

we had really good looks all game and just didnt make our shots

our guys like martin and strus and robinson combined for like 2-23 fg's

we should feel pretty good, if we can make our shots, we could have won

Is Joker the next Bird?

Larry was a bird?

Looking at the stats, Denver shot even worse from 3 (29%)

Our shooters couldn’t make open shots, Zeller played 7-8 minutes, Jimmy was a no show and we only lost by 11. I don’t think any of those things carry over to next game. Guys simply have to be better, this was very winnable

Highsmith is a keeper. I’d like to test out a Gabe/Lowry-Martin-Jimmy-Highsmith-Bam lineup to see if that defense could lead to something

This is the least concerned I've been of any of the series so far after watching this game.
