Was only a matter of time. Giving out little cute player awards after gm1 in the locker room like an u12s domestic youth team & looking overly confident, happy & stress free like they bout to hand him the trophy. Tough times are coming for you & your Nuggets Malone. Let's see how you handle darkness because Spoelstra's been in that abyss, we forged in fire & bout to give you hell.

He's downplaying it, and giving credit where due, but that's exactly what we did. Jokic can score whenever. But if we take away passing lanes and play him straight up, can he outscore us by himself? Likely not, unless we completely wet the bed on offense.

Or are they going to give it to Murray and let them go back and forth scoring (which also makes them a less dangerous offensive team)?

I never see Nuggets fans on here but the few I've seen were so arrogant and unlikable. At least I talked to several nice Knicks and Celtics fans. I have yet to meet a Nuggets fan who hasn't talked a lot of ****.

Winning this game now gives the Heat the luxury of not having to force their hand with Herro. If he’s ready, then play him with a short leash and gauge where he is and where the team is with him playing. If not there’s always keeping him in our back pocket as a wild card option

Agreed. It buys us a bit more time. But I think if we're dead set on bringing him back then it has it be in either games 3 or 4. You can't risk integrating him into the lineup in a closeout / elimination game (i.e. game 6 and 7) given he hasn't played since mid April.

It's June. All hands on deck. Spo needs as many tools available as possible.

Only thing questionable about Spo is Zeller but I guess we all deserve a laugh in despair eh?

Nah. Ehf (eddieheatfan) talking **** on the Denver board.

Oooh ok. Nah eddie is certified Heat. We ride at dawn if they try to ban him for anything but just their board.

I like how spo trashes the reporters questions about some stat they saw on espn..

They really think we want Jokic to score 40+.. jokic is capable of a 40/20/15 game.. and that would blow out anyone in the league.. we barely won by 3 giving up 40. Giving up that many points from him is not ideal..

We had Robinsons heroics to thank, without it we were cooked. The gameplan has to improve to win game 3 and 4. We need the crowd to play their role and we need to get more physical with Jokic.. cant let that guy score like that again..

You’re pushing it

You realize that Denver's entire defense is keying on Jimmy on every possession, right? Some fans are never happy. smh

Its not about being happy or sad, sometimes i am not sure if people watch the same game or not, it is clear his explosiveness is not there, defense has been iffy too. Denver's defense is collapsing on anybody that gets the ball deep is not only on Jimmy, he definitely looks like he lost a step, i mean didnt you watch the Celtic's series, we almos crap the bed and lose the series because among some other issues Jimmy was not playing up to his potential after game 2. Now tell me is this about being happy or worried about it going forward?

Jimmy isn't 100%. These 3 days of rest should really help him.

If he's medically cleared to go, we better not try any cute **** like that. We don't exactly have games to burn. Its the NBA finals.

We need much more from him in order to have a chance to pull this series, only distrubuting the ball wont cut it, make no mistake, we wont today because we happened to hit our 3's at a good clip, and only won by 3. This Denver team is really that good. If Jimmy is not giving us those special games, it will be almost impossible to pull the wins.

It’s a tough one. Obviously if we can get him going right away it would be instantly beneficial for the at times rigid Heat offense. My only concern with him is if he’s not ready. Either way have to trust Spo will make the right call at the end of the day

It takes a while for an injured ankle to get back to 100%. I rolled my ankle in a pickup game in college, and it seemed like it didnt feel normal until at least 6 months later. Gotta give Jimmy credit for still trying to compete with a bad ankle
