Baba this team is 3-8 from free throws. That’s how you know nerves are bad
Home pressure is crazy. This is what I was telling someone on this thread. It remains to be seen if Denver can weather the storm the rest of the game. They've done it before. Just have to hope the shots start falling. Because as poorly as they've shot it's a miracle the game is still this close

See ehn. Homecourt advantage when I say that shxt can be a bit of a myth. The best and easiest place to close a series is on the road

Even transition layups they are missing

They're missing open 3's, free throws

What do you have against this guy? 😹
Nothing. That's what we used to call him on NBA Twitter cos he was supposedly a Trump supporter

Plus he's really been disappointing these playoffs. If he played to his potential this Nuggets team will be nuclear for years to come because I can't think of any team with the youth, size, firepower and playmaking of those 3

Nuggets in 6
Why not 5? Let's put the Heat out their misery please. Could have easily been a sweep if the Nuggets didn't play with their food 4th quarter of Game 2

Miami are 2-12 their last 14 against the Nuggets

All these na capping you watched Ferguson recorded we watched him live and he wasn't special at all

If he was he would have won more than 2 CL titles with a team he created and had complete control over for almost 2 decades

It is the usual British washing that is making Ferguson look better than he is. He got lucky in that 1999 cos he was outplayed throughout

One day a kid today will watch highlights and say Mancini winning the Agueroooo epl means he was great and you can never write off a team coached by Mancini based on recording he watched

Ottmar Hitzfeld the Bayern coach on that 1999 night was a better coach by far

It's the same way they tried to sell it as if all those Man utd players of that generation were greats

In 1997 Ottmar Hitzfeld coached Dortmund to beat Ferguson home and away in the CL semi where was this Ferguson magic to turn it around? Before Hitzfeld led Dortmund to beat star studded Juve in the final with Lars Ricken a 17yr old writing Waec putting the final nail in Juve coffin

In 2001 again Hitzfeld now coaching Bayern met Ferguson in the quarter final and beat Ferguson home and away where was the juju then to make Ferguson turn the results?

Where was the Ferguson miracle when Monaco was eliminating him from the CL in 1998, or in 2000 when under strength Madrid was beating him at Old Trafford or in 2002 when Toppmoller was using unfancied Leverkusen to eliminate Ferguson
Or in 2003 when Madrid and Ronaldo was scoring hat trick at Old Trafford
Or in 2004 when Benni McCarthy and Costinha with Porto were eliminating Ferguson
Or in 2005 when I think he crashed home and away to Crespo AC Milan

Or in 2006 when he finished last in a group of Villarreal Benfica and Osaze Lille?

Abi na 2007 wey Kaka and geriatric AC Milan dey beat am like snake

All these before Pep Guardiola came in 09 to flog him in Rome with Yaya Toure playing in Central defence

Before LVG took a mediocre Bayern to eliminate Ferguson in 2010

Guardiola did the 2nd round nacking on Ferguson in 2011 at Wembley in what he said was his worst loss

Truth be told outside EPL Ferguson was slightly above average for the stability and longevity he had as manager of one of the richest team of his time he massively underachieved

The treble they used to hype him for. 5 other teams have done it

He is the Thierry Henry of coaches or a slightly better version.
Undisputed champion in epl, average to poor in CL

All these whitewashing can only fly with those new to football.

When I say some of us have forgotten more football than you can remember this is an example
Omo. This one na Ether

I should have realized. But when we see this

https://www.nairaland.com/7722429/damilola-adeparusi-turns-off-gas

It is actually a Nigerian problem,imho.we have very little imagination or desire to put in original work. Linda ikeji sweated at her blog for years. Once she hammered everyone started gossip blogs. Same thing with iyin and flutter wave. Now everyone is doing or attempting fintech. Now we have the same with Hilda. While Hilda knew what she was doing, why she was doing it, and took time to plan the whole thing out, these copycats will simply bastardize the whole thing
There's something called pioneer privilege. The record is irrelevant long term for someone like Hilda.

She's already made fame and notoriety and can parlay it into opportunities in ways these other upstarts will simply never be able to do. You can see even from the negative responses they're never going to get the traction Hilda will get (it also helps that she's more aesthetically pleasing than this individual) brands will partner with her before they deal with this person

So people need to chillax and stop getting worked up over nothing.

It was never going to work. Too many egotistic personalities who barely had minutes together on the floor.
Well they all have themselves to blame because they didn't give it a chance to make it work. Now they're jumping from team to team with legacies that will most likely take a hit. There's a real chance none of these 3 win a ring again

Someone on some show I think it was Cowherd made a salient point that if I were a GM I would strongly consider. He said foreign players generally have this gratitude and loyalty to whatever franchise they're drafted by, they don't care about the market they don't care about anything, they are mature, no egos and you're almost certain they will retire where they're drafted.

And when you think about it it makes sense. Look at Zion for example before he was drafted there was legit fear he wouldn't go to the team with the #1 pick whereas no such issues with Wemby

Maybe it's the AAU, the culture and how these players are given the world from early teens unlike the Europeans, Africans who are drilled at a young age to play for team, to know their roles and not try to play GM.

When Denver wins this championship it will be 5 straight years of different champions in the nba. With only GSW and the Heat making more than 1 finals appearance. It seems this is what the owners and league brain trust wants because the new CBA starting next season will make it very hard for a team to pay two stars and also give good money to role players.
Us fans are not complaining. We want to see teams sweat and the game to have NFL parity. Also we will know the guys serious about winning by how much they're willing to shave

The final nail for me happened when they could only chip off 1 point when Jokic sat because of his 5 fouls
Signs of a well drilled team. Sometimes the absence of a star can make players improve and raise their levels especially in short stretches.

Gordon really was a beast. How he's playing is how MAGA Mike should be playing. The Heat are too small

I will let him seat unless the game gets to three. Will need him in the last 3 minutes if game gets close.

The issue is the rebounding. Jokic's absence is giving the Heat second chance opportunities

Jamal facilitating nicely.
