NBA Finals Thread, 2023 – Nuggets, NBA Champions (4) vs Heat (1)

[Shak_Celts]

Jokic and Murray both with 30-pt triple doubles. Jays would never lol. JB can replicate the 7 turnovers by Murray though, no problem.

you're prob right, seeing as murray is a PG, one of the main keys is being an assister. it's not the same.

I hope the players are watching how to beat a zone

They're watching The Town with Joe

. Serious question if joe managed to watch the town four times during the heavy nba schedule.. Does that mean he should triple his viewing now?

Jokic might be having a top 5 season ever if you combine regular season + Playoffs.

[MaxwellSmart]

So....THAT'S how you keep a 15 point lead with 4 minutes to go....Interesting.

Can’t believe Celtics lost to this team

[threrf23]

Jokic/Murray/Gordon combined for 77 pts, 41 rebounds, 25 assists on 55% shooting

Heat starting lineup combined for 66 pts, 25 rebounds, 12 assists on 34% shooting

I guess that's what happens when your all NBA second team player gets completely outplayed by Martin (who is now averaging 5 points per game so far this series)

Makes you think what the strength of our other wing is then other than volume scoring.

butler hasn't been bad but he's been disappearing through crucial stretches.

Hey, give our Cs credit. We were able to stretch the series to 7 with a miracle buzzer beater in game 6 after squandering another double digit lead with about 5 minutes to go.

what is the strength of most wings other than scoring?

That's his MO but media builds him up as some against-all-odds superhero.

I'm not saying butler isn't very good in the playoffs but man we had our chances to beat them most of our games when he was being an average joe. ffs

All-NBA wings? Would be nice if he's actually a two-way player. So defense maybe? A bit of playmaking maybe? Would also be helpful if our all-NBA player has a bit of court awareness so he can pass the ball to open teammates and box out his man or not get backcut.

We'll get em next year. If not, the year after that. I have a whole lifetime to do this.

Great, fun to watch team. Tall, talented, deep roster with a generational star. Above-average coached. We wouldn’t fare well against these guys either.

[batabatuta]

Man....why can't we be lucky with our second-round draft picks? Jokic is just wow.

didn't say all nba but even then, how many are two-way players? chile, most of the league plays one side of the ball! brown is mediocre on d most of the time because of effort but when he puts it in his mind to go out and defend he's an excellent defender. good rebounder, very good most of his career (i think).

now, i cant even argue him as more than an offensive scorer. don't want him with the ball as often as he has it. that's a coaching problem because JB should be relegated to be more like klay with a tad bit more responsibility.

3s are always better than 4. He definitely would.
