Aaron Gordon getting his jersey retired btw
Can’t believe Heat fans were leaving only down 8 with 3 min left lmfao
Lets fucking go
Scott foster couldn’t even get the heat the win
Refs did everything in their power to make it 2-2 but Nugs were too good
Night is made. Let’s go boys
I love how we lost game 2 so we can win it at home!!
MMMMMMMMUUUUUUNNNNNNDDDDEEEERRRRRR!!!!??
We need a Jokic defense highlight reel after this game!
No Jokers in the deck, no problem.
Jokic averaging 31, 14, and 8. Like it’s beyond comprehension.
Zach Lowe shaking and crying right now with all the kicked balls

All the Nuggets are good!
Let’s go NUGS !!! 1 more win!!!
I feel insane because I swear Jokić had like 8 assists. They reported he had 4 at the half and then he made several in the third, but his total didn’t change. Have I imagined this?

1 more man
Survived the Heat shithousery. One more win. Double tap!
Jeff Green has had some insane momentum threes during the 4th quarter these playoffs
When the Nuggets are playing with that aggression it reminds me of the 15’ broncos D it just seemed like they could get whatever they wanted when they wanted
Refs tried their hardest with that lousy 5th personal on Jokic. What great execution by everyone to ride that storm. Jamal has really evolved and found his game this playoff run. Has become much more a point gaurd rather than just a scorer. The maturity phases of Jok, Jamal, and AG has been huge this entire run.
KCP making up for his subpar games with some great D down the stretch. MPJ was a plus, really looked to attack, cut, and rebound. Bruce, I mean Jesus what can you say about the man. UNC Jeff with a huge 3. Just everybody had a little bit of something to keep us riding
I dare someone to ask Spo about whether making Aaron Gordon a scorer was part of the game plan.
LETS GOOOO NUGGGGG BROOOOOOOSSSSS
WE ALMOSTT THEREEEEE
it’s so god damn close…
