This is pure gold, I can't get enough.
Michael Smith was triggered!
' Point being here. This Heat team is better than the Talkin heads have been saying. S.A.S. was saying the same stuff about Boston being sooo much more talented. The same thing he said last year. And they didn't win it all. They also lost on their home court in the seventh game. Despite Jayson Tatum's twisted ankle. The better team would have been able to take up the defiency. Smart and Jaylen Brown and company. Miami lost the first game to the Nuggets. ' Cause they probably were a bit tired. Now they have two days rest before Wednesday's game at home. Betcha they're going to win one of those games. Miami has at least three pure shooters. Martin, Strus and Robinson. Vincent as well. Plus, Jimmy Butler will knock down one or two. Three when the game is on the line. Who else am I missing?? Add Bam to the mix. One thing is for sure. The Nuggets better show up. And they better not lose two in a row in Miami.
I was suprised the nuggets came out slow and the heat offence got a number of points foolin their defence but i still think the nuggets are holdin the bag
I thought yall learned yall lesson after the first 3 series the Heat played in. It's amazing how yall both wear glasses and are still blind to the fact of what your seeing. Instead of saying only people in South Florida think the Heat are going to win. How about you address the fact the everyone else keeps picking us to lose and we keep proving them wrong 🤦🏾♂️. Wake up up and open your eyes. The Heat are a legit TEAM! All this sweep and Nuggets are going to win in 5 is completely ridiculous but don't worry we taking notes! 😎 Let's go Heat! 🔥
Miami Heat was 1st in 3pt shooting LAST season and was a #1 seed. They literally brought back everyone from that season. How about the regular season was the anomaly and the playoffs have been what the Heat were all along?
Weird how all the Heat's opponents lack effort… It's almost like Miami makes them uncomfortable and unsure sapping them of their aggression, or maybe everyone slacks off against them…
You two are the sharpest sports analysts out there. i so appreciate your mutual intelligence and chemistry. so insightful about how everyone doubted the heat. and how the other teams having superiority narratives. excellent breakdowns.
What’s crazy is that mike Malone said that heat had the same shots and missed them in game 1 and had those same shots in game 2 and hit them. Which means that if the same team had the same shots 2 games in a row that means that Denver is not playing any defense and heat are going to have those same shots all series! Denver is in trouble
Nah, they're not "America's Team." Respect though ✊🏽👊🏽✌🏽
Heat in 6….Miami will hold home court advantage by winning their two home games and if the Nugs get down 3-1, they’ll short-circuit mentally….
Bro im sorry that you think that Denver Nuggets is going to win the NBA championship, you better think again bro,because this Miami Heat team isn't playing around, I got Miami in 5,#big#facts####
Denver is talented but only KCP and Jeff Green have Finals experience, and only KCP has won. Miami’s core have Finals experience, Lowry, Love, Harlem, and Spoelstra have won…don’t discount that…the more Miami can extend the series, the better because that experience will eventually overtake the Nuggs lack of experience.
These analyst's must be pretty used to being wrong by now
No he is trying to play mind tricks with his team he basically saying we're better we ddnt try hard enough but really the just won the game
I’m about to start listening to these sports shows…. Seriously these shows Flip flop more than a flip flop
Effort is just another word for
" We LOST"..give Miami respect.
999 TRILLION BURGANDIES
yo bro i need that shirt you wearing where can i get it
Yall are going to respect us !!!!!!Period ..Lets go HEAT !!!!!!
There is also the NHL finals taking place. Why aren't you covering/ talking about it. You are a sports talk platform aren't you?
I notice you only tend to talk about the NBA. And occasionally talk NFL. Next to nothing on MLB or NHL. Why?
Eventually people will have to realize the Heat are the real deal. Stop blaming the the teams they beat for their victories. Miami has won and keeps winning because they’re that team.
This narrative is BS and it’s embarrassing that y’all fell for it. When CB was disruptive in the second quarter, effort wasn’t questioned. When they got a significant lead off Joker getting hot, effort wasn’t questioned. This isn’t an effort thing. This is a Miami thing. This is a Malone thing, a coach spoiled by talent with no foresight to recognize his role players needed plays run for them to get shots so they’d be fresh for the final quarter. But y’all analysts don’t do the work. Y’all just took Malone’s narrative cause it was easier.
No you didn't. All the press said that Miami had no chance. Miami Heat is the ANTI-ESPN.
Effort has nothing to do with it. You have to have the players that want to outwork others. That's not Denver. It's not their make up. Eastern Conference teams are built that way. Most western teams don't even play defense.
If Miami wins the chip will you still say “I’m happy I was wrong” lol? Miami is not an underdog, even if Denver wins Miami is not an underdog. Exactly what I was saying about Bucks firing coach, Boston talk not resigning Brown, and no one talking about knicks and shade at Randle after that series? If any of these teams play Miami it’s even. If Boston plays Bucks it’s even, if Boston plays Denver it’s even, either team can beat each other, same for Miami, if Miami plays Denver it’s even. Speaking on the comment about Heat fans “if they were honest with themselves they probably just as guilty as the rest of us”, no. We see what Miami did last year, and the last few years in the Butler era, this isn’t new. This is what they do, and have been doing, . This is what they do, game 7 one Butler 3 (maybe should have taken the 2 but it was a good shot, I can live with it) from winning that series, Boston won but it was even. It’s just fun to watch all the talking heads squirm, make excuses for the other teams, and just question everything they think they know about NBA basketball. Brown didn’t play well not only because he didn’t have good games but because Miami took him out of things that he normally did to get going and get in a rhythm and it showed and with Tatum injured in game 7 it was easy. They also did it to Giannis and the bucks, Giannis (one of my favorite players and teams btw) passing the ball at the end, why? Because Miami was going to put him on the line to prove it because in this series it was a weakness, maybe the next one he’s making them but Miami will just find another weakness and make it even. They always find one and with all the players bought in Miami’s execution will always be on point. Find the weakness, make them uncomfortable, play to their weaknesses, take something away, lean on Jimmy and Bam build up the others and let the chips fall where they may. And on Gab, Stuss, etc, every championship team had major contributions from the others. This ain’t new though, it’s been like this for the whole Butler Bam era and everyone is acting surprised that they are winning. Watch the tape. Pay Brown because Boston has no chance without him and anyone else won’t fit see Kylie experiment, Knicks keep your team you made the second round I’m a huge Kat fan but he doesn’t have a killer instinct. Randle has to work, starting in the off season and during the regular season, on counters just for Miami because they will exploit him again (the whole team has work to do outside of Brunson), add a piece maybe but keep the core because when’s the last time knicks had any hope let alone be in the second round? Bucks need better others and Giannis has to up that free throw percentage or at least make them when it counts, he doesn’t have to make free throws all the time but Shaq doesn’t have 4 chips if he didn’t make them when it counted. Point is don’t need to blow it up because you lost to an even team and in terms of New York, Miami is just better. But so is Boston, 76ers, and Bucks so they need to improve for those teams anyway. As for no one has seen shooting like this before from the others? As a Miami fan I remember the 2014 Spurs don’t win the chip if Patty Mills and Danny Green are not shooting out of their mind (they shot 56% and 45% in the finals against the Heat). And Spurs won 4-1 on the 2 time defending champ Lebron, Wade Miami Heat. Not just because of Duncan, Kawhi etc but Mills and Green the difference in every game to a 4-1 championship team. I’m glad the experts finally admitting they don’t know what’s going to happen. Because it’s even is why. It’s been even all playoffs with Miami. No one’s looking down on them they’re eye to eye with every team in the playoffs.
Yes, Heat fans had no idea this run was coming after such a frustrating regular season.
But after watching this team take out 2 finals favorites and STILL get doubted, yes, WE TOLD YOU SO!
The Heat being “americas team” threw me off but I’m with it lmao. Heat in 6. Book it.
Maybe Miami just punkd them. They did it to everybody else so why say they didn't come to play when they lost by 3
Series is rigged by the NBA.
This Denver team and fan base were just going thru this same disrespect last round against the Lakers and now they are acting arrogant. Now its the Nuggets not playing hard when Miami flat out just beat them IN DENVER. Be careful Denver with the cocky stuff.
No need to feel bad or apologize, the 305 don't need your pity, we don't give a damn! WE BELIEVE!
Mike Malone is hella inexperienced at this level. Probably wasn’t the smartest thing to reveal openly. All the Heat needed was a glimmer of hope because if not anything else they’re definitely gonna play hard each night! 🤦🏾♂️
I was wondering what happened to this dude I still remember him and Jamelle Hill on ESPN leading the way for young black journalists
One thing I learned from this video is… Mike Smith's AAU team is gonna be running sprints every day until the start of next season.
Did they really lack effort? Or did Miami just play better? Media really bounce off each others stupid narratives
