My favorite part in this highlights are at 6:08. Seeing Denver’s reaction to an open Gabe 3 ball. It’s like they all said “ahh shit here he go” 😂. Let’s Go Heat!
I'm not a big basketball fan I'm more of a football fan but when I was younger I love basketball I even played it a lot and my favorite team is the famous Chicago bulls. I haven't really watched these two teams but I've been keeping up dates here and there when I can. If anyone can help me out here who do you think is going to win? I think Miami heat has a little more leverage. I would love to see Jimmy Butler win an NBA trophy because he never got one and I think he deserves it.. plus we'll be amazing if he wins because the big champ the big boy the all time basketball player in history LeBron James but Michael Jordan is the best of all time in my opinion…✍️✝️
You can't really sleep on Spoelstra! He really knows what his doing. The fact that he put Kevin Love on the starting line up changes alot defensively. It took away the size advantage Denver had on the first game.
This is fun ball to watch, both teams are playing legit ball. I hope goes to a close game 7
Michael Jordan must be proud of his son jimmy Butler. He came in clutch that last quarter
Jimmy and the team gonna get that ring !!
We need to put some respect on Jimmy buckets, Eric is the best coach in nba, and the team for always being ready……I think they smell blood in the water…
Bahahaha Denver sucks😅
Great coaching shut the nuggets down!
The biggest mistake Kevin durant made in his career was signing long-term deals he should've did 2 year deals. He would've had opportunities to join these teams. Hired assasisn. Can you imagine Kevin Durant on this team?
YO NO WONDER DENVER WAS REAL QUIET LAST NIGHT,
final seconds Nuggets got time out and won't use huh….
