Nuggets in 5. Jimmy deserves a game. Disrespecting Jokic c.s. would be foolish.
People keep sleeping on the Heat
Jay a clown
Miami in 6. 😤🔥🥃
If someone stepped over another player today:
Flagrant Foul 2 (thrown out)
Suspended 3 games minimum
Fine (about depending on name)
Give Public apology for next 2 months
While also gain a little more publicity
Max “apologizes for being white” Kellerman
They forget same heat team was #1 seed last year
This series so boring to talk to be honest. Jokic saying this is their hardest match up 🧢 🧢🧢🧢
Nuggets in 6
Heat for the chip. Whether it’s in 4 or in 7
If Miami wins game 1, Miami in 6. If not, Denver in 5
Bam has to be the Heat's best player for the Heats to have a chance.
Nuggets in 5
Comparing this heat team to the 07 cavs is so disrespectful to Miami. Besides LeBron there were no other true guys, this heat squad is an actual Good Team; have we not been watching?
Main reason i want to see the finals game tonight is to see who is lying the most, has been lying the most and who's entire system is based on lies.
Denver in 4🎉🎉🎉
Nuggets gonna make "Canned Heat"…..at Ball arena
IMHO…
I think Miami is too confident now so they don’t know what they are up against. Lowry said they are winning the finals when he barely plays. I see Denver in 4
If you have a hard time deciding between Luka and Jokic you don't know ball.
2:45 the irony of “not sleeping on the Heat” while simultaneously somehow sleeping on the Nuggets (the 1 seed with home court and altitude and 10 days rest and the best player in the league as well as the best duo in these playoffs who have blown through the western conference) is hilarious to me. The heat are doing some incredible things and deserve respect, but I really do think the nuggets are a different beast here and I just don’t see the angle for a Heat victory in a 7 game series
Key obviously just wants to justify the Lakers losing so he doesn't wanna acknowledge Miami. Denver definitely has a better chance but Key doesn't seem to base his take on anything objective.
Rockets in 1995, 6th seed win the finals
Heat vs Danver and they bring up LeMickey….Bunch of 🤡🤡🤡
Nugs in 5
G1: Denver wins easily because of rest and mental preparation
110-100
G2: Miami wins with a surprise upset on the road in a close game
102-97
G3: Denver comes back with a vengeance, winning by 15+ on a monster performance by Jokic
120-104
G4: Miami wins another close game to tie it 2-2, with Jimmy having a 40+ point game despite other teammates struggling.
97-95
G5: Denver wins easily at home, Murray matching Butler's performance in game 4
103-92
G6: Denver takes care of business on the road, not wanting to risk a game 7 with Miami's explosive offense. 115-103
the heat culture is crazy. they might be the underdogs but they are FIGHTERS. even if they don't win it all, this is an amazing run
They have to try to attack him on pick and rolls constantly. that’s honestly all they can do. They can’t defend him. It’s close to impossible.
People make it seem like the lakers were all that great. Put that same laker team against Miami and Miami wins in 5 games easily. Miami beat two best records in the NBA. The nuggets might win it all but to say it will be a sweep sounds absurd to me. Miami has been the second best team behind Denver this playoffs and that’s why they made it to the finals. The media just likes to make it seem like Lebron and the lakers were a power powerhouse in the west. Golden state also good but not better than Boston or Milwaukee this year. This will be closer than what people think.
Nuggets have too much to work with . It’s not just depth but the fact everyone plays their role extremely well . We all know anything can happen but Denver has played against teams with solid if not past dpoy players and making them look foolish . Denver in 4 or 5
best of the old generation
KD
Lebron
Kawhi
Jimmy
Steph
Jimmy has taken harden spot. Idgaf. He’s proven he’s among the best of that generation through sheer hard work and determination.
The heat has won game 1 every series this year, can't bet against them
Bam is gonna have to be Shaq like lol
I am shocked. They did not talked about the Lakers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Max lost his dam mind thinking their going to beat the nuggets. Don’t do drugs yall.
Keyshawn Johnson got to go, is ok.. I will speak for all of us. I feel your pain Jay Williams.. useless commentary.
There's a Constant MAX : Talent. That's what Miami is The Few The Proud The Heat.
Denver is Gonna Win The Finals 🏆🏆
I hate that Keyshawn keeps saying they might cancel the last three games. Does he think he’s funny? That’s the stupidest comment I’ve ever heard from a “sports analyst”
DENVER IN 5
u dont hqve freezera.. how do you keep.lettuce cool?
Keyshawn is brilliant. Not
LETS GO MIAMI EVERYONE DOUBTED U BEFORE THE PLAYOFFS EVEN NOW SO LETS GO JIMMY JORDAN
Hmm. Nuggets by somewhere around 20 in game 1
Miami in 7. Miami wins game 2
I'm surprised Keyshawn didn't fall asleep…the consummate pro!
These guys just say stuff
3% is all Miami Heat needs
