I was Shocked because I never thought that the #denvernuggets would become champions
How come JVG doesn't talk about how the Nba rigged it in favor of the Celtics against the Heat in the eastern conference finals last year? By removing Strus three pointer 3 minutes after he made it in the four quarter by changing the momentum and the flow of the game in the Celtics favor to win game 7 last year. If it was a Celtics player even if he was stepping on the line they would of overlooked it I'm sure. How about the Nba helping the Bucks get 36 free throws over the Heat 17 free throws in game 5 of the first round of the playoffs? How about Knicks player Josh Hart tripping intentionally Jimmy Butler by hurting his ankle in game 1 of the second round? He should of been suspended for that. I didn't hear Jeff or anyone else complain about it? How about Adam Silver ordering Scott Foster rig game 2 in favor of his Knicks in the deciding minute of the fourth quarter? How about the Nba adding an extra second for Celtics player White to make that shot to win game 6 of the eastern conference Finals? Boy Jeff and the Heat haters overlook all these things and see the things that are convenient for them. Nba Commissioner Silver and his rigging refs all need to be replaced. All games should all be called in between.
Hiy

Not a Heat fan but seems to me that this game probably would have been an annihilation from the second quarter onward if the Nuggets had any other opponent. Good for the Heat for fighting and scrapping and being competitive even when they were totally outmatched. Congrats Nuggets 🏆 from a very disgusted Celtics fan
Jokic is a incredible player
