This is the first time I've watched Perk actually give reasonable analysis without any hot takes.
I don't think the Nuggets played very well in either game , so last night was not a big surprise
0:26, Good stuff JJ💯
JJ is bullying Perk all day long😂😂 love it
Game 1 Miami had 2 FT; game 2 Miami had 20 FT!!
the best basketball analysts on espn are two shooters. go figure. Legler and JJ.
Fire Perk
I really don’t like JJ…
Perk can't stand JJ. I wonder why
It's early to say this, but I think Erik Spoelstra have figured the Nuggets out.
SAS calling out liars just to prove his point 😂
The knowledge analysts can not know of because they're a journalist – analyst. Thank you, JJ. Lack of communication is definitely costing denver and not adjusting to changes to what miami is executing is costing denver, moment of improvement happens right here. Knowing the alternative game plan when shots isn't going finding another way to contributing making the game easier on your team teammates – 🔥🔥🔥👌🔥🔥
I don't know why but it annoys me that jj was so committed on the arrogance thing like joker or Denver couldn't feel arrogant I would after I just swept the lakers
Jimmy Butler defense tonight on Murray and clutch 4th quarter scoring was big time, Bulter is CLUTCH 💯.
That was an awesome play! Twice in a row! No reason they got back to back plays like that passed them and they just seemed like they were nit communicating at all! Denver struggled for real
I’m just here for Molly 😂
Totally agree JJ, the Denver gave the game away.
Perk actin like he absolutely hates white perks even if they do help his pain…..smh
Perk lookin’ UNIMPRESSED like a MFKER🧏🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂🤣
Perk looks like he's upset he isn't watching cartoons and eating crayons.
JJ Redick got me tune in great job 👏🏼
I agree wit Stephen A. I think the Nuggets started believing the hype about themselves and thought they would just steamroll the Heat.
We all know you don’t know basketball Stephen A., you haven’t picked the Heat to win a game all postseason.
Perk doesnt like JJ, probably for outing him as a racist.
Molly was looking quite tasty 😋😋
I never been happier with this heat team in myself I I love them
We going to win it all 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The favorite to win have a good chance to lose. It's like horseracing Big favorites got beat by a neck or nose.
I think Mrs.Robinson on Mrs. Love is the best three point shooters in the NBA. When it counts the most.🔥🔥🔥
Referee bad calls?!
Espn cheap af for this set 😂
They talking like the heat blew them out. It’s only 3 points
I like JJ but at times it seems as though he actually dislikes Stephen A lol smh and it actually goes from entertaining to cringe sometimes for me 😏
I have to agree with SAS, I thought about this in game 1 when the heat came back and made it an 11 point loss vs the 20 + point stretch from the Denver Nuggets. I saw Denver relaxed thinking the game is over, the heat has the edge in the 4th quarter that if you take the foot off the peddle you find yourself having to work twice as hard to get the momentum back. During the press conference I noticed them feeling very happy about the way they played and the team they were facing some what arrogant that this is going to be easy because "Yes" they won it easy in game 1 nothing to take away from Denver the heat played flat. If you see game 2 the oversized players between Porter and Gordon are having a hard time running to open players on the 3 point line.
Great job JJ
Perk always and I mean always as usual falling asleep on set 😅😅😅
Jesus, Steven A just spoke for a long time about nothing.
Can’t wait to see Shannon Sharpe breaking down plays on that big board
JJ the Tony Romo of NBA :p
They have an ego compared to the Heat for sure. I see it in Jokic, Murray and KCP. These are guys that want to shine whereas the Heat care more about winning.
When Stephen A makes his little “arrogance” joke, Perk and JJ sit there stone faced. I smiled.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SEND PERK TO SKIP BAYLEES.. HE IS NOT FUNNY NOR HIS ANALYSIS ARE STRONG WORTHY.. HE ACTS LIKE 5 YEAR OLD
JJ is COMPLETELY right!!! Mike Malone USED the EFFORT excuse to COVER up HIS team's DEFENSIVE deficiencies!!! THIS may BE the BEST offense MIAMI has FACED in these PLAYOFFS but IT is ALSO the WORST defense MIAMI has FACED in these PLAYOFFS!!!…Denver is a SOLID defensive TEAM. THEY are NOT a GREAT one!!!
I uhhh actually agree with Stephen A this time lmaoo
That might have been the heats best game and they barely won
WHY DO WE NEED WOMEN MEDIATORS ON EVERY ESPN SHOW. IM TRYNA WATCH SPORTS SO I DONT HEAR THAT ANNOYING SOUND
JJ terrible 😂😂😂
I would genuinely go out of my way to watch more of first take if Stephen A. and JJ kept on clowin Perk.
Molly looking real good today 🤓
