Denver has too much depth and balance for Miami. However, Miami’s experience in the Finals could be a factor to make the series more competitive than expected
Both these teams are capable of going on big runs so no lead is safe
BuT wHaT aBoUt ThE rAtInGs?!?!
My prediction is Either Denver will win in 6, or Heat will win in 5.
Denver in 6
A don't now men. HAA haa a hope Denver show continue. Go Jokic and the team. To brate❤
I guarantee Jimmy Butler or Nikola Jokic will win their first championship.
Strong offense but Jokic is weak in defense especially in the pick and roll. Heat will take advantage of that. Bam and Duncan or any shooter should make that play
Heat in 7. Caleb martin for 40 😮💨
All i know is series will be 2-0 heading back to Miami. the question is will Denver steal 1 or 2 in Miami. Denver in 4 or 5.
Hero makes them worse
Heat in 6
Denver in 6
Gordon played Jimmy in the regular season. He abt to meet Himme Butler tonight. Heat in 6.
Nba cant let miami lose in the finals again, GIVE HIMMY HIS RING
Jimmy vs Joker
=
Wade vs Dirk (2006)
What do you mean theirs no good answer for the Denver Nuggets? the Lakers figured them out after game 1, …so I was told😂
Another comment section of everyone underestimating the Heat. The same thing everyone did before the Bucks series, Knicks series and Celtics series.
Miami Heat bout to make Vegas a lot more money 😈
Pistons beat Shaq and Kobe BUT pistons overall had much more size than those lakers.
the heat will get steam rolled
Dont care who Miami has beaten in this playoffs! Miami cant win!
Aaron Gordon is about to put Butler in a blender on defense!!! Cant wait to see it!!!
Jokic gets no respect because the NBA WOKE MOVEMENT does not want to give white people out respect!!!
Nuggets take 10 days off after destroying the Lakers and people forget
Game 1 objective for the heat will be, how do we hurt jokic. The heat are dirty team and will find a way to get him off the court unfortunately
4-0 sweep Denver takes it,,, Miami doesn't score enough points
Miami in 6
too many damn stats… make a pick
Murray’s odds for mvp are pretty good
I'm calling Denver in 5 and Jokic to average 14+ rebounds, FMVP.
As someone who’s played a lot of basketball in New York City, FYI, Division I, high school, the Cage, and at Rucker park. I’ve seen a lot of basketball in my life. With that said, I’ve seen how back in the old days the bad boys of Detroit will play physical and brutal. However, has anyone ever notice how Miami started hurting people playing dirty, nasty and getting away with fouls with Gianni falling down on his back, Knicks center getting pocked in the and in game seven Miami player moving over and sticking out his leg, so Tatum falls on it and twisting his ankle. Plus a whole others I guess that’s all coincidence. As Miami coach Erik Spoelstra says, “his players are crafty.”
I would hate to see a team as demonic as Miami playing so dirty, and getting away with it.
I guess karma will come to them someday. Don’t be surprised if somebody from the Nuggets gets hurt early on.
With a short rotation and not strong rim protection, attaching Jorker when ever you can is the best way to increase Heat chances.
Not a fan of both teams but I truly believe It's gonna be 4-0 for Denver with all 4 being blowout wins.
Jj acts like he a hall of famer and won championships when he just a bench player never scored over 30 points.
LA is the best def cuz AD erases all the mistakes they make at the rim.
I could very easily see this series go 7 games.
Caleb Martin was the MVP of the ECF’s
I want Heat to win. Logic says Nuggets should dominate, mainly due to size. But then again Milwaukee had size and lost. I simply don't know. Like someone said "Every contender is a turned ankle away from elimination".
Heat in six
