“It’s 100% mindset” is a pretty privileged thing to say/assume for folks who will not be playing.


Instead of assuming, as we can never truly know, think it’s best to assume that they’re all doing their best and appreciate their efforts. We’re all just human after all

I like the way you think, Bish.

Happy we made it this far, just win at least one more, I don't want to go out looking like SPAM on a grill, sizzling in despair.

Now or never, lose this one and it’s basically over

[3ammy3uck3ts]

We’ve forgotten how to win at home again when we’ve needed it most, now at 3 straight home losses. Right the ship and let’s make this a best of 3 series. I knew from the jump we’d need to steal 2 in Denver

The only way to stop Jokic is to be physical with him. For that to happen, Spo needs to use all of our 7 footers Robinson, Zeller and Yurt. They needs to stay on Jokic and be PHYSICAL, make it unconfortable for him to shot or try to drive to the basket. We can not allow Jokic to get the ball near the basket and have a smaller player on him. That is too easy for him. This will also allow us to rebound better and will allow Bam to guard Gordon.

They'd all have 6 fouls by halftime and the Joker would have 20fta lol.

Jokic just flat out isn’t guardable, watching game 3 every single shot this dude hit just sucked the life out of the team and the arena. It’s unreal how good that dude is, I’d say he’s in a tier by himself for the best player in the world (I’m hoping Jimmy has something to say about that)

It’s actually laughable how much better this dude is than Embiid, media really let themselves get bullied into not giving Jokic 3 straight MVPs

I do not know about that. Sure our centers would get a lot of fouls but not on FGA's by Jokic. I think Jokic would probably get about 12 FTA's. I'd rather have him earn his points at the line than score with ease from 6 ft with his eyes closed.

It’s was wild until we stunk it up and got steam rolled in the 3rd. Team came out like they made no adjustments and just got cooked. It was a lot of fun but damn would’ve loved to seen how it differed from getting a win

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Saw Murray holding his wrist grimacing at the end of the game on a garbage time play. Now apparently rumor is he messed his wrist up pretty bad. We’ll see

I know he is unbelievable good but we are also making it too easy for him. Watch the 3rd quarter of last night's game, how may times did Jokic score with Vicent, Lowry on him? Only Bam is able to slow him dow a bit but even Bam is not a problem for Jokic to shoot over him. He is just too big and skillful to be stopped, let alone with a smaller player. I do not know what else can be done to try to slow him down.

Yeah that was the play he dived for that loose ball. They said it's scraped open. They put a wrap on it and took it off because it hurting/stinging so much.

Butler is hurt, man. Who are you to question HIS effort level? Have you ever tried to do something and your body just wouldn't cooperate?

Can't wait until after this series when it's finally revealed what injury Jimmy's been playing through, and all you Jimmy haters eat some serious crow.

Most players are dealing with being hurt at this point. He got hurt in the 2nd round but in the 3rd round (ECF) he put up 62 points in the first 2 games on the road so how is that explained against a defense like Boston has? The answer is that he's good to go physically although may have some ache and pains... he's moving fine he's just not nearly as energetic or talkative as he was in the first round or the first 2 games and last 2 games of the ECF. He was in worse shape in the ECF last year and still was able to play at a top level for games 6 and 7. I do expect we'll see a much more forceful Butler for most of the rest of the series with his back against the wall... and when we do it must be because his "injuries" all of a sudden healed up like they did for certain ECF games the last 2 years, not because he's decided to be more forceful during the game.

Most of Butler's high-level play is based on will and determination, how do Miami fans not see that by now?

Here's you an interesting fact, Butler has had 8 40+ games in a Miami uniform, NONE OF THEM HAVE COME IN THE REGULAR SEASON, isn't he healthy in the regular season? Weird... they mostly come when his back is against the wall meaning there's another gear he can go to when needing to score. Butler is just built differently; he doesn't care about points which has somewhat hurt him in his career. Him being built differently is why this particular Butler hater has followed his whole career since he joined the NBA.

BTW...

Seems to indicate he's going to be in a different mindset, I hope so.

Let's just agree to disagree. You're never going to convince me that he's not playing hard.
