2023 NBA Finals, Game 3: Nuggets @ Heat, 6/7 @ 8:30pm

[yeahi]

We’re 3 games in now and Jimmy hasn’t been a top 4 player in any of the games. Just crazy

He hasn’t been a top 4 player for 2 series now.

[Spacely]

You knew it was over when most of the pre game analysts said Miami would win

[DayofMourning]

What to do...what to do???

I'm at a lost boys... We can't stop Jokic And in the past three series There was no one we couldn't stop... phuq

We dont have to stop Denver any more than we have. We just have to pretend we know how to run NBA offense.

[Bourne85]

Just bad all around. Strus continues to start and Strus continues to not provide anything. Maybe start Caleb Martin, Drob, hell even Highsmith. Strus is not, and never has been the answer. Strus has to be the WORST STARTING SG in Finals history. Absolutely no business starting or even playing so many minutes.

Jimmy, I always said no team as Jimmy as their superstar would win a ring, he was shutting me up vs Milwaukee/NY. Once Boston showed up he’s been carried by undrafted role players ever since. His jumper looks flat, his drives look forced, his mid range is off, and most importantly he isn’t getting to the line 10+ times like he’s known for. Simply put he hasn’t showed up. On the other end he’s tasked with guarding Murray and he just dropped 30 point triple double on his head. Bam is doing what he can out there and has to go up against Jokic. Bam has played great but he too is just missing way too many shots. Today none of the role players really showed up, Drob might’ve, but spo was rewarding him with bench time after last games great heroics. Drob just needs to bounce to another team, any lil mistake and it’s hit the bench, going to my stud papi Strus.

Lol so who were the top 4 players tonight then?

[ShulaDon92]

Not going to win with these kinds of metrics. Our top two were creamed by their top two. Our unit was dismantled for the most part. Gonna need more from Vincent, Strus, Lowry.

The efficiency was weak.

Death is 50 percent closer.

Public usually overreacts after a gm so you can imagine all the talk how tough Denver is & how it's now over for Miami only for Miami to even the series going back to Denver. Fabricated drama.

And I happen to live in Denver. Luckily, I'm a hermit that never leaves the house, and NEVER, EVER watch ESPN or any other sports talk tv. lol

You live in Denver? Didn't know that. Maybe go out tomorrow put some banana peels around the arena.

Lol. "Nuggets fans" comin' out the woodwork too. Even their "die hard" fans strike me as a bunch of casuals. Got into it with one the other day. Only thing that saved him from a beatdown was that he was with his girl.

He hasn’t been a top 4 player for 2 series now.

And yet he somehow won the ECF Larry Bird MVP award.. I don't know how he pulled that off without being a top 4 player

[HeatFanDan]

Lol are ya'll really upset a player on the other team got a triple double in the final seconds because the coach left him in for a few extra seconds even though the game was already over? Seems like something pretty trivial.. probably makes more sense to be upset at the 47 minutes before that..

It's like an unwritten rule in the NBA, and I know for a fact that our guys took notice. 99% of coaches would not choose to do that, but Malone is a pos.

I honestly don't think any of our guys care. They're going to be more upset about the loss than a rebound in garbage time.

The unwritten rule is to not shoot the ball when you're leading and the game is already over.. not to 'not grab the final defensive rebound' lol

Nah, dude shouldn't have even been in the game still at that point.

[Spacely]

If we don’t win this chit are we gonna run it back again lol, pat riley is pleased with this

Jimmy aint the only one to get a 30 pt triple double dropped on his head

Yeah. Our guys werent worried about rebounds at all tonight.

Lol so who were the top 4 players tonight then?

In no order you could easily argue any of Jokic Murray Braun bam gordon

[Bourne85]

If we don’t win this chit are we gonna run it back again lol, pat riley is pleased with this

You know it! Only this time, Gabe will be making 20mil per, Strus will be making 15mil, Jimmy Bricks will be making 50mil, Lowry 45mil Herro 30mil. Seems like the only thing winning this year is these undrafted role player bank accounts

[Kobewade11]

You guys have no idea

You snuck Bam in there?

[Michael Doleac]

Look at that rebounding differential!

Second straight "Finals" (bubble tournament) where we come out with this shrimp sized team and get whooped on by a bigger team. I know Bam was hurt in the bubble tournament but we still had to go up against Davis, Dwight, McGee, etc.

Once again, we are undersized.

I don't watch much football, but this reminds me of teams like Oregon (college) that are quick/fast going up against a big team like Alabama (or was it Auburn?) in the championship game and getting beaten up on by those dudes that are just bigger and stronger than them.

Riley and Spo need to get it together this off-season.

I know we got past the Bucks but please, no more midget ball. The goal is to win it all, not just make it there.

[HeatFanDan]

Too much Jimmy bashing in here following every loss. Guy is obviously gutting it out through injury, but I guess that's just not good enough for some fans.

He’s easily been our best player in each game

He talks all this **** and makes all these guarantees and he needs to back it up, Simple as that.
