I feel like if we win the discourse is mainly going to be about how the Nuggets choked :lol:

Oh wow, a fire has been lit in Bam. We’re getting no fuxks given Bam in these finals. What are they apologizing to him for?

The most inspiring season Ive seen as a fan. They were literally trash, limping into the playoffs. Lose the first play-in game! this is why impossible
Is nothing. I love these moments in sports.

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

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.

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

Yep. Trust in Spo. He sees way more than the rest of us. If he's not right, Spo won't force it. And its an EXTREMELY tough situation to come back in to begin with.

I'm curious how Denver responds. They have not faced any adversity in these playoffs while we went through everything good and bad. The post game conversation was talking about how Denver wasn't mentally right tonight. Well, that could be a factor the whole series. Maybe they don't know how to win against adversity. We were told they weren't the Bucks or Celtics and don't have these mental lapses. So we'll see.

Anybody have a gif of that Gabe look after his 3 on the white guy (I forget/never knew his name)?

ShulaDon92 · Post #1548 » by **ShulaDon92** » Mon Jun 5, 2023 5:09 am

That was the best game we've played since going up 3 vs the Celtics.

Good to see. Have to keep it going, we're back on our grind. We could win this if their adjustments suck and we make shots at a good rate.

Absolute facts!!! 2 games into the finals and both better than any we saw from Bosh!!

They laughed at me

Oh boy the last time you started gloating about Bam, he proceeded to put up a bunch of stinkers while Boston won 3 straight. How about we table this until after the job is done lol. Then you can talk all yo ish and everyone can admit you were right. But not before then.

I can kinda see Malone's choice there. Why let us setup when the absolutely have to go for 3? You got Murray coming downhill and more than capable of knocking down a pull up from deep.

Agree, I thought they got a great look and probably wouldn't have gotten a better look with Miami being able to set up on defense. Also, we could have (although unlikely given Spo's history) decided to foul if given a chance to talk it over.

That being said, I think we definitely should have fouled once Jimmy poked the ball away and Murray had to retreat back near halfcourt. At that point, with the clock so low, fouling would've made more sense than not, but glad it worked out!

Still feel that way?

Really want Bam to get this FMVP, he's taken way too much slander. I'm cool with anyone winning it though as long as it's a Heat W. Nuggets have lots of time to win a ring with their core, we do not given Jimmy's age.

Anyone figure out what happened here? Apparently the guy is a Heat media staffer. Unless it was some egregious mistake, not a great look to be treating someone in the organization like that just bc they're low on the totem pole and you can. Seems like something he could've just shaken his head at and walked away rather than pointing his finger at him and berating him.

I think it'll only be a positive when he's able to come back, but also don't think he's entitled to anyone's minutes, per se. He'll be part of the bench mob and get his chances as needed. If he's good, he'll stay on the floor longer and if not, he won't (although I don't think he'll necessarily get a super short leash either, as that doesn't seem to be Spo's style). Simple as that.
