Spolstra is unreal coach tho, how they play offense, how they switch defenses.. 1on1, then zone, then randomly starting defending from Nuggets side.!
Joker floppy divac
Denver was winning most of the game and then like in a span of 5 minutes played the dumbest basketball I have ever seen. KCP fouling on the 3 point shots. No one boxing out on rebounds. It was like they were just messing around. They did this against the lakers too. Like they forgot it was the NBA finals and they thought it was the regular season in January or something.
Massive adjusent from Coach Spo. The Heat started attacking the basket and clog the middle lane. Forced Jokic to go on scoring mode leaving the rest out of rhythm where they thrived on his assists.
Nuggets will surely adjust to this change.
There goes the GOAT debate fir Lebron. Lakers had more talent than the Heat but got swept. Most of the players of the Heat are late draft picks or went undrafted but got this far.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, shall we? Miami shot almost 50% from 3 and only won by 3.
These analysts don’t want to eat their words , eat their vomits. Perk , and skip are the only analysts that know what’s up. Skip is not falling for the okey-dokey. Miami is more discipline, more poised and more clutch in the playoff. Miami stay close 3 quarters and in the 4th we’re cooking. Miami in 6 . Denver is not easy to play against but the heat is that team. We not celebrating until game 4 win Go heat.
TNT needs to do the finals next year….
Stephen A. always loves to admit he's wrong with his Analysis just to say it's a good thing after his mistake lol Fking Narcissist 🙄🤦🏻♂️😄
I want the heat to win but nuggets gonna win 😪 prove me wrong
The other team played like the better team. When are they just better? At the end of this series 🙂
I'll be glad when the miami heat shuts these two faced back and forth announcers up finally.
Michael PorterJr is the culprit for the Nuggets first loss of the post season.
He shot a terrible 2-8 from the field, and
1-6 from the perimeter for a grand total of 5 points for the game. He had zero assist.He was AWOL and an empty jersey.
Imagine if klove is in his prime, they would swept denver.
Great insight from Lowry, finally heat getting the recognition they deserve
bro kcp fouling lost the game
Hypocrite.
The zombie done it again. They will hung around, wont go away, and if your not 15 or more up by 4Q there is a very good chance the heat will win.
We could of gone 2 up is Spo just played joker straight up , We trying not to give joker no assists. Everybody saying Denver is the most talented team but every Miami player can put the ball on the floor and make a play not Denver. Denver depend on joker giving them a pocket pass to shoot or a catch pass and dunk . We lock down the others he’s not gonna pass the ball for a steal . Miami is the best 1on 1 defense team In the play off . Defense wins championships through out nba history. Go heat . Heat in 6
If Miami won the series, they beaten the #1 in the west. And the crazy thing, they overcome the altitude. This chip has many significant and extraordinary feat for Miami.
Now we have a series, let's go both teams!
Difference, one team can take the pressure, the other team in the kitchen wants to get out of the kitchen, the other team is like we need more Heat 🙂
Yes
Miami Is dangerous, no relaxing
Always. Overrated. Loudmouth.
Cody Zeller cannot play another minute.
Come to miami,and take what,and do what….stop capping Coach.
Stephen A wrong? What else is new?
How people slept on the heat I don't understand. People overreact to game 1 so hard. This series was over according to ESPN and pretty much everyone. Shout out to Reggie miller for calling heat in 6. Don't let the heat think they are underdogs, thats how they eat!!!
This was a great game. I think everyone thought this would be a boring series, but this game was actually exciting. I was at a party and we all were locked in. Looking forward to game 3!
Kevin love was huge
Nuggets thinks that they have already won the chip
When the series is tied🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stephen A always wrong 90% of the time 😂 🤡
These days Stephen A is better anywhere but first take
Coach Malone's locker room speech is not that good lmao.
Bulls fan, GREAT WIN FOR MIAMI ❤ defense wins games!
Heat go 3-1 before Nuggets get another 1 and the heat finish the series games 6!
The Miami heat are the hardest working, best conditioned, most professional, unselfish, toughest, the nastiest team in the league. Malone isn’t ready
