Destino Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 2 minutes ago, Hersh said: Miami’s problem is that they have to shoot 50 percent from three to win and Malone should absolutely get raked for not calling timeout. The Celtics are watching from home for doubting Miamis shooting ability, and they’ll have an easy time with the way the nuggets are handing out open three point attempts. The number of times nuggets got lost in rotation on defense was shameful for an nba final. You’d expect defense that bad from a bad regular season squad playing the on the end of a back to back. MPJ specifically embarrassed himself tonight on the defensive end, but he wasn’t alone. Murray was lost a dozen times and Caldwell Pope picked a horrible time to award the Heat with six free throws late in the 4th. Malone is probably praying for patience after that effort.

Celtics are at home for a lot of reasons. I don’t think anyone is doubting their shooting. btw, that missed goal tend was big at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COWBOY-KILLA- Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 All the pundits pro and not are all about what Denver didn’t do.. wa wa wa . Keep sleeping on this team, we absolutely subsist on it. We grind By Any Means Necessary. Whoever it may be. Jimmy hasn’t really shown up too much in almost 5 6 games. Be it Gabe, Duncan, Bam Max, Kyle, We claw and scratch til the very end. Spo is a Monster. Let’s Go Heat! Fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have less margin for error than the Nuggets, but they can win it. Edited June 5, 2023 by Hersh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t a shot or directed at you personally but Sorry bud, no one has been generally right about the heat and everyone has slept on them from the start of the playoffs. They’ve been an underdog and written off at literally every step of the way. In every series they have been a steep underdog and pundits have reflected that. The metrics and data dictated that and that’s all understandable and totally fine. It’s what makes being a fan awesome, that in the face of “facts” you believe and your team does as well and they ball out and the thing snowballs to where they are now. I’m just enjoying the ride one win at a time in the face of an uphill battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it for a while, we like it this way. Hope we keep hanging in there in this series, the odds are still against us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are 100% right that they've been wrong. Spo is the best coach in the NBA right now. Butler getting a ring would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMP Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) You see Jokic's issues with the pick and roll last night and generally as a rim defender. He can't defend on the perimeter, but he also can't recover to the rim. People end up getting good lanes to the basket if they take them, others have to help, leaving people open for 3s. None of the other teams were consistently good enough 3 point shooters to take advantage of it. Game 1 the Heat shot awful and didn't actually go to the rim. We'll see if the Heat will take the lanes to the rim and can keep hitting shots. If they can, they can win this series.

ixcuincle Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I abhor the professional game so I'm staging a boycott of these finals. That said I was pleasantly surprised to see that Miami won. Few more wins like that and you may have my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF is with an 8 pm starting time on a Sunday night? School is still going on. There was nothing else this weekend that would've created a conflict. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
