They played C+ games or worse twice and had real shots to win both games. Lebron and AD looked gassed but so did the Nuggets. To me this feels pretty even and I bet it's gonna be 2-2 heading back to Denver. Maybe they’re just a C+ team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJSUMFA2013 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 The heat are the hardest working team in professional sports. Spo who started his career as video coordinator with a windowless office in the basement of the arena working longer hours than the coaching staff, a bunch of undrafted overlooked guys who extract every ounce possible out of limited (compared to other teams) talent, jimmy butler who no one ever confused with a superstar coming out of college but is fueled by pure white hatred for anyone with the audacity to play against him, and pat riley who probably should have retired a decade ago but he’s a vampire who subsists on the blood of vanquished foes and this is the only way to ensure his supply never runs out. If it didn’t mean giving Florida a reason to celebrate I’d be rooting for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSF Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 When the game is on the line, give the ball to LeBron... ...watch him get stuffed, complain about a foul, then walk off the court 1st.

Lester_in_reno Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Looks like the Nuggs year? East finals go tomorrow. Am surprised to see the total wimpishness from the Celtics big stars, Brown, Tatum, Smart.. Horford. They look like they don't give a F about winning, and play really Stupid hoops. Anyways the Heat deserve it (a Finals appearance) ... and Spolestra is a great coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utenation Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I think the West was really weak this year. The number #1 seed only had 53 wins? In some ways the Lakers were playing with house money with so many missed games by stars and getting to the conference finals from the play in bracket. Miami’s record hasn’t been a true reflection of their team more than a few times/years in the playoffs. I’ll take the Heat 4-2 against the Nuggets. Could be wrong.

bigd Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Heat/Nuggets will be a really interesting finals. Crazy story about how J.Cole made the call to get Caleb Martin to the Heat after getting waived by Charlotte. Really happy to see him doing so well. https://uproxx.com/music/j-cole-miami-heat-caleb-martin/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hardly say he's "past closing time" Not to mention the series easily could be 2-2 or even 3-1 in favor of the Lakers. It was actually a close series, but Denver had the best player in Jokic and the more consistent players in the 4th. They were saying that Irving would be a good addition to LA, as he won a title with LeBron in Cleveland and he adds scoring punch. I can see the Lakers making another run next year with the right pieces around James and Davis. But they will need to monitor their workload closely throughout the year. I think Denver takes either Miami or Boston, although that series appears almost over. Maybe Boston can steal one tonight, and get another game at home.

Just like I was tired of Duncan. And the best thing is, we are all entitled to our opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
