Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.

Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

Miami!

Pretty amazing. Denver just looks soo much better than Miami. I don't know how they even lost ha.

Denver will have to figure out an answer to the Miami defensive strategy of give Jokic whatever he gets, guard Murray, and make the others win it.

Bam was really good again in this game.

Well we’ve maybe got a series after all. Jokic had a great game but he can’t do it alone.

BWillie · 06-04-2023, 08:35 PM

Now...time for the guy in the bucket hat to come back from injury and **** this all up.

Your take on Miami getting swept was bad and you should feel bad.

Spolestra is such an underrated coach.

It was bad but I don’t feel bad. Denver should sweep this team. Hell, they outplayed them for 40+ minutes in this one. Miami just sort of hung around and stole it.

He’s had a bad week of takes FWIW. It’s better to have a close series than a sweep. I could see it going 6-7 games as the Heat just won’t go away.

Denver is a superior team to Miami, but Bam can limit some of Jokic’s prowess offensively (Zeller sucks ass however).

I said before that I thought Denver would win in 6, but Miami should be able to hold their own.

I expect this to go back to Denver 2-2 before the Nuggets close it out.

Because Miami can't miss a shot.

Also, besides Jokic and Murray, nobody did much for Denver. The star players will always get their points. You have to limit the others. You can't let scrubs beat you.

Jokic went 41-11-4 on 16/28 shooting. They didn’t limit shit with him. They limited the others.

This game reminds of when the Chiefs go play a team like the Colts and **** around and lose. They were up big and pissed it away.

They didn’t steal it. They flat out dominated Denver in the fourth quarter. They took away everyone but Jokic until Murray started hitting shots when it was too late.

They absolutely stole it. They’re not better than that team and Denver outplayed them for the majority of the game.

That’s the kind of road win that can change the entire trajectory of a series though. Denver can’t lose that.

Bam went 21-9-4 on 8/14 shooting after going 26-13-4 Game 1.

What do you think Jokic's line would be without Bam?
