I have been waiting a long time for this.

My 50+ year dream is about to come true as well. Do wish we had a stronger opponent than the weak Heat, would've loved to see the Celtics myself. But I see this as a BLOWOUT game on the Home Court for the fans who have supported this team (can't see us walking out of the arena during early 4th qtr games).

Go Nuggets

Was checking out the NHL finals, with Vegas up 3-1 against FLA, guess that state is about to be called Loserville !! :lol:

The Golden Knights are really good though

Bros I haven't been here for a long time

Decades in the making for this.

I will legitimately be satisfied for the rest of my life for basketball if we pull this off tomorrow.

Fingers crossed it's congratulations to all around.

Spoe is such a good RS coach and they should get credit for getting to the Finals so many time in this decade but here comes the FORTH Finals series loss in SIX tries....not real impressive IMO. Now I'd blame this more on the FO, but it isn't like MIA doesn't have some talent.

This is it. I hope today's the day the Nuggets win their 1st title and Jokic cement his legacy.

Let's GO Nuggets!

Playing 8 x 5 SUCKS

Worst half of basketball I've seen us play in the playoffs....in the BIGGEST game in Nuggets history :banghead:

Great preparation for this game from Malone, we have only 4 turnovers in the opening 5 possessions, and most importantly he explained to key players how important is in such a game to avoid foul troubles, so we scored almost 45 points in the first half alone!

Denver dominate in 2023 in the 3rd quarter, so I hope for the same story today and this first half with epic 7% for 3pt and 37%FT% we will forget as never happened.

Can't give them LAYUPS

Murray has FIVE turnovers in the game while shooting only 1-5 from 3pt, 4-11 in total. He USUALLY rises in big games, here he's shrinking from the pressure

I find it AMAZING we are even in this game

Denver leads at the end of every game of this series after 3rd quarter by at least +8, so this is completely new territory. -1 is not a real lead for Miami, but that is their favorite quarter this playoff... Malone should again go to the "nuclear" option (no rest for Jokic in 4th) like in game 3.

Guess I shouldn't call out Jamal without pointing out how bad Bruse Brown is playing too, he's 3-13 with 0-5 from 3pt range. pathetic

back to back threes after 2-20... seems that guys are more relaxed in 4th than at the start of the game :lol:
