GAME 1 OF THE NBA FINALS!!! HEATS V. MCCHICKENS, JUNE 1ST, 2023, 8:30PM

Jokic is going to eat Bam alive this series. Going to suck watching that happen. Just have to steal one at Denver. Preferably both. But if we can pull away from Denver with one game, that would be great. Sucks that Denver's home court remains to be the house of horrors for almost every team in the league. That altitude advantage is nuts.

We avoided the 3-0 comeback and completed the revenge tour against the Celtics. Everything else is just extra at this point. All I ask is we continue to put up the fight as we always have been. Beat these chicken nuggets! GO HEAT

Bam is the best defender in the world, Jokic eats everyone alive. Dude is literally the most skilled center ever and I don’t even think it’s close to be honest. Not the greatest of all time but the most skilled. Dude will average a 30 point triple double I’m sure but if Bam can make it hard on him here and there and we pick on him defensively I like our chances. I think the key to the series will be stopping Murray and not letting the other guys light us up from 3. Easier said than done but we’ll see.

How has Strus been to you guys? When and if Herro returns I think Strus minutes should definitely be the primary ones he eats into.

This is a series Kevin Love could play center against jokic.

Idk, Love will get eaten alive if Bam is going to be struggling to guard him.

For all the talk of Jokic, its not 1 on 5. Hes awesome, I get it. Were going to take away something they do well and expect Finals level performances from our guys. We can wear them out.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I just spent $4k to go game 3, god I hope they win. It’ll be a good experience if not though. Gotta bring the lady so a $2k trip turns into $4k

Also fuxk service fees on tickets, that was $600 alone. That’s ridiculous

Stick Bam on Jokic and find the solution for Murray and their shooters. If it takes 50 every single game from Jokic for them to beat us 4 times and he does it you just gotta tip your cap and acknowledge his greatness at that point.

Jokic isn't athletic, he's just big, strong and highly skilled, that gives Love a good matchup against him. Offensively he can pull him away from the basket and if Denver switches a PF on him, he can take them to the low post. I'm not saying starting Love although it could happen, I think his skill set at his size may really help him where as against Boston, so giving Bam some more minutes of rest could help him in the series.

Maybe you stick Love/Zeller on him a bunch and just give up those points and let Bam and Butler roam looking for steals and TOs, Oladipo's defense would really be nice in this series. Would love another defensive player with some offense on this roster next year.

I'm going to be in Florida for game 4. I'm looking at that game to attend.

Well depending on how much you want to spend you can get solid lower bowl tickets for like $1,400-$1,800 a piece. That’s after service sees.

Read on Twitter

Bam locked Jokic up 1 game, Jokic cooked him 1 game. We need to find a happy medium in there somewhere. If Bam can’t guard him no one else in the world can.

One game at a time. One possession at a time.

guys i made a funny thread with quotes from celtics fans during game 7

How has Strus been to you guys? When and if Herro returns I think Strus minutes should definitely be the primary ones he eats into.

Between Duncan, Struss and Herro whoever is making 3 point shots should play most of the minutes. Spo was too loyal in this series with Struss, should have gone to Duncan more and earlier. 3 point shooting is gonna be key in the finals, so Spo has to roll with whoever has it going in a particular game or even quarter

You missed it but last thread before tip off, a little bit earlier than page 40 things got a little wacky and went off the rails. One of the things was me posting Zaya Wade as a good luck charm and either me or someone else said if it works it's not going away lol

Here’s what they think about the matchup

I trusted in our chances to win the ring this season, but in my wildest dreams I didn't expect it is going to be this easy

While they are the favorites they don’t realize that there are steps to take. They just made the finals for the first time in franchise history. Just cause you made it doesn’t mean you win it lol that’s a whole other challenge to overcome.

As long as we fight I like our chances but I think these guys are really overconfident right now.
