1 more for Denver.

The Heat will put up a brave face but I feel at this point they know

Murray is not shooting with any type of confidence

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

The home cooking if they bring am now go too much grin
The issue is the rebounding. Jokic's absence is giving the Heat second chance opportunities

Jamal facilitating nicely.

This is the Gordon game. If Denver win

Why is Murray playing like a midget. Maybe the fear of the ACL. He's not going hard in the paint and drawing these fouls

I might bring on Jokic pretty soon. Can't let these refs erase this lead

Jamal has to cook now. No other way

The cooking na something else.

Just see this last foul against Murray
The one on Murray and Bam. Even the 5th foul on Jokic was rubbish. Maybe Adam wants a longer series

This 3pt spamming has ruined basketball man. Sick of seeing 6'8-6'10 ninjas just spamming 3s ad nauseam.

2 dribbles you're at the rim

This Nuggets team can be a bit indisciplined sometimes. 4 straight chances to blow this game wide open. If Miami come back they will only have themselves to blame

Someone else needs to bring the ball up and have him come off the ball. Once he comes off the ball and gets possession, he needs to be decisive before the double comes. The Heat would be careful not to blitz/ double him inside or around a scoring zone.

The blitzing is coming pretty high in the Heat half and that is difficult to overcome and may lead to TOs.

Worsestill, with Jokic hurting, there is no one to bring the ball up or set a screen for Jamal. Malone has to help him out here. Remember the blitz and double is not around scoring areas.
Doesn't look that bad. Fortunately his game is not reliant on athleticism. And Jokic is the king of improv. He's not a guy that's capable of getting shut down

More crucially they're biting too hard on Murray and leaving Jokic wide open on the 3. And he's burning them everytime

MAGA Mike gotta stop spamming these 3s man

Murray is too accepting of what the Heat are trying on him. He needs to cook second half

What is Jokic doing there? Smh

In playoff basketball you just get to the point where you realize this team pass you. Heat are just about there

He's touching the ball but they're not giving him any type of room to launch. Unfortunately for them role players like Gordon have seized initiative

Agreed. Gon be an old man, telling tales of what could have been. But if the league cracks down too hard, I think think he hits rock bottom in the wrong way. As in ending up dead, or becoming a felon.
From the mall incident with his mother, to the Pacers situation, the kid at his house.

He's well on his way to being in some shxt without the league going in on him.

There's a saying. The universe whispers before it yells. Ja needs a proper suspension to serve as a deterrent and secondly to get to the root of this wannabe gangster situation he's displaying. When you keep getting away with things you start feeling invincible and one day you will surely tempt fate.

I hope it doesn't take irreversible tragedy before necessary steps are taken

What an exciting game 2. The Panthers played like this was game 7. Like I said, they have to keep the scoreline low as they can’t afford to exchange goals with this high power Knight’s offense.

Knights 3-2 Panthers.

Series 2-1
I thought they were dead and buried when the Knights went up 2-1. What a comeback

Someone sounds pained. A40, I don't really blame these young boys with money. I just thought at this point it was common knowledge to avoid these girls and they'd have agents whose job is to save them from themselves. grin
I don't blame them either. At 22 with Zion's money? I have a murderer's row I would knack grin grin

What's funny is this particular one only shagged white men in her clips so why is she crying like she was there for anything but money.

His only fvck up is not letting these women know what time it is. Can't be doing any lovey dovey things. Normal they will all pretend, like the parole is more than just a sex for money exchange. The onus is on you as the man to be brutal and clear that your parole is purely sex. The second she feigns anything deep you put her on permanent ice

If Lance was not reasonably competent I doubt his father would waste his money, and if Lance was no good, no amount of father's money would keep him in F1 for long as good engineers et al would refuse to work for the joke the team would become and his father's money and patience would likely soon run out unless he too is incompetent at counting his own money, though he'd still have accountants and advisers.

I don't quite see a problem here. Most of us would love our parents to be like Lance's parent, trusting us and investing in us as his does, and if the team were not making his father money (or other forms of satisfaction) I'm certain he'd spend his money elsewhere.

Read about Lawrence Stroll. You'd find he has a brain that works well.
I didn't say it's a problem. I'm just being honest. Stroll in any other circumstances based on performances will not be on a roster if his dad didn't own a team

Mind you I have nothing against a nepotism baby. The goal is to have enough so I can also practice nepotism for my seed.

He's an ok driver but on merit no chance he's on a roster if his dad didn't own Aston Martin team.

The guy doesnt know it, but his psyche is looking for a way to get him out of the league, back into normal life
Hmm he will not be able to live with himself in the future if he loses this opportunity.

What he needs though is a lengthy suspension. It's like someone on drugs, if they don't hit rock bottom they will keep relapsing till they hurt themselves

Great points. The Heat have approached this post season with some unnatural and uncharacteristic strategies and it has helped them adapt to injuries and other changes in their line up.

The Heat are traditionally a slow half court offense that is methodical in creating offense but this post season we have seen them become a fast break/ transition based team. They have pushed the ball upfront and with pace more than I have ever seen them.

Another uncharacteristic strategy is their scoring. This season, they have significantly increased their 3 point scoring which also improved because of the change in the pace of their game. Better still, the 3 point scoring is not carried by the usual suspects as everyone outside of Bam in the starting rotation has become a spot up 3 point shooter. The addition of this type of scoring brought them this far to be honest and compensated for the absences they have suffered in Herro and Oladipo.

However, the lack of volume scoring from their top 2 players is going to cost them once again, except another player averages between 25-27 points to compensate for the deficit. Butler, in one interview yesterday before the game said he isn't a scorer and to be fair to him he is absolutely right. The Heat have overachieved in my opinion and Spoelstra is one hell of a coach, the best in the league right now.

Going into the offseason, they should consider going for Dame. They need someone that can take over games offensively.
This is what I tell people that try to downplay scoring. When it comes to playoff basketball scoring is far and away the most difficult thing to do.

You can spam every other stat line and assists are pretty much tied to whoever you passed to converting but you see that scoring especially volume scoring knowing well and good the other team is throwing their best defenders at you every night.

I won't entirely write off the Heat just yet, well unless they lose Game 4 but there comes a time in a series where both teams know the better one. Game 4 seems like where we will find out

With this Nuggets personnel they're just too big. And if both teams play to the best of their capabilities the Heat don't stand a chance. KCP and MAGA Mike have been non factors and yet Denver is a 3 away from being up 3-0
SportsRe: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:10pm On Jun 08, 2023
Spoelstra at this point will have to make a business decision. Jimmy doesn't look as impactful. And I'd argue some of it is from him having to guard Jamal Murray.

The problem is exerting energy on guarding these guys will hurt your ability to finish games strongly.

It's going to take 35-40 point games from Jimmy for the Heat to win this thing. So do you keep putting Jimmy on Murray knowing he can hit 30 anyway or you let someone else guard him so Jimmy is fresh to focus on scoring

Perez wasnt in front of the rest because he is making too many silly mistakes in quali etc (because he cant take the pressure) ... and by the time he has any chance to make a decent move on top cars, his tyres are gone... but when he gets his shiit together, he can even drive that rocketship almost as fast as Verstappen.
Mehh. Perez seems like a specialist/street circuit guy. On conventional tracks he's usually a step behind.

I just think it's Max's turn to dominate now. Let's enjoy it with open mind and be easy with the hyperbole.

It wasn't rocketship when Mercedes were Champions 7 years straight
