When you stop Murray you're basically making them the Denver they've always been without him
Why not take a timeout? If you have one shot to win an NBA Finals game, I would think you would want to set up the best possible shot. Unless you think the timeout actually favors the defense having a chance to set up.
He can’t even do a calf raise 😂😂
Bam and Butler dropped 40 and won only by 3. Nuggets will take game 3.
It was painful to watch perk and JJ going back and forth….
I think they both shouldn’t be on at the same time. They clearly hate each other. Stephen a backtracked a bit of hanging up on perk because he thought he might never come on again. 😂
Bout time Perkins gives Jokic some credit
Well i guess all that sweep talk is out the window, a series doesn't start until you win one at the other teams place ,well we have a series.
I agree to a certain extent with Murray being the one to stop but last night jokic had no real help. Aaron Gordon and MPJ didn’t do anything besides rebound. KCP was not good and he had some ridiculous fouls on 3 point shots through out the game. He one of the 3 actually plays well Denver wins. I mean they only lost by 3 and 2 points were robbed due to a bad no call on that goaltending play. Also they had horrible communication on some of those 3s
Shots going in early for Miami was key to the W.
Adjust brakes 4 wheel walkers and wheel chairs
Eric Spoelstra made great adjustments. Finals comes down to coaching plan n simple. Your stars n their moves are already studied n learned by this point. It’s how the coach puts them in position is what matters.
I hate big perk so much lmao
After watching Heats tape, Denver still doesn't know this is how the Heats operate? They always steal 1 away game from the starting 2 and slowly drain the life out of you by hounding you non-stop in the games thereafter. They suck that will away from you and make you crumble. I am confident that the Heats will win the next 2 home games.
If they keep Murray quiet, thats defo a recipe for success
The Nuggets were over confident. It happens sometime to teams that haven't lost at home in 3 months!!!💯 You think you could just show up and win. They played horrible and still had a chance to send it to overtime.
Not really into sports like that but I enjoy commenting to get free points on fan rewards.
Some of the heat players looked possessed at moments in that game 2
They gotta fix Perkins microphone when he’s off the set, they catch every disgusting noise he makes.
Finally KP praises Jokic.
Heat working overtime to get the win
Perk saying Jokic is one of the best bigs he's ever laid his eyes on but was slandering his game and campaigning for Embiid for MVP only couple months back… fml
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a million times, Jamal Murray is overrated 🤷🏽♂️
