Despite losing Game 2 at home and theoretically homecourt advantage, the Denver Nuggets remain heavy favorites to win the Finals. The Miami Heat with a win tonight though can take a 2-1 series lead. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes debate who is more likely to drop 40 tonight: Joker or Playoff Jimmy?

Check out the What’s Wright? with Nick Wright podcast: http://sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
I’m a Heat fan and agree that the home loss may have affected the nuggets but to say they’ll shrink I think is a stretch. Everyone is forgetting the nuggets have comeback from a 1-3 deficit TWICE in the same post-season. Nuggets aren’t some pushover either.
Nick said the exact same thing about the Lakers in the WCF — that they had adjustments they could make but he didn’t think the Nuggets could make any significant adjustments
Nick is clutching at straws with his stats 😂
For Miami being the underdog I’m seeing a lot of analysts pick them to win this series
Loosing viewers doesn’t matter til it does. Couple more games and you’ll be irrelevant.Can’t wait to eliminate your clown takes from my viewing experience. Sadly I love basketball more than I’m repulsed by little nicky
I know Nick is rooting for Miami but he’s putting a little too much on it calling Denver losing by 3 points devastating as if they have no chance now 😂. In game 1 if Miami hits some shots they might win. If Denver didn’t have defensive lapses they would’ve won. Even with Miami shooting 49% Denver still was winning in the 4th. When Denver wins it’s a moral victory for Miami. When Miami wins Denver doesn’t have a chance. Come on Nick
Butler vs Jokic = David vs Goliath = Godzilla vs King Kong
Heat in 6!
Nick is salty the nuggets swept his lakers
Chris talk like it's 2k
Chris killed Nick when he said “which one of them one the title” lol
Made 3700 so far with Heat sticking to it
I hope Nick Wright has to eat his whiskers. I like Miami, but I love Denver.
MIAMI IN 6
The only way Nick ranks higher over the guys he works with is his seat level setting. 🎉
That being said you guys are my favorite show now.
no team in NBA history has won the championship series without winning the third game???
What does +90 mean? I dont get it.
Edit: in the 4th Quarter, point difference of 90? What does that mean? :/ I just dont get it.
Please put haslem in instead of zeller, please!
The brou curse is real, gimme miami tnight lol
Hoping Denver wins cause they haven't won one yet. Otherwise, no stake in it
Ummm…. Denver, scored 4 more points in the 2nd game than the first. Heat scored 18 more points in the 2nd game than the first. Miami defense had nothing to do with winning game 2. Shooting 50% from three and shooting 18 more free throws than they did in game one did. It's not hard to figure out, unless you work for ESPN or Fox Sports.
Kevin shouldn't sell his league short… It's probably not as soft nor as many flops as the NBA has.
all the graphic showed is mpj struggling rn & thats a tall tale sign to quit shooting?
Wait top 12 out of 30 is some how bad
Nuggets I'm 5
I have never agreed with this, Tom Green, rest, Beuten looking rat dude. Denver in five!
Heat legendary run, jimmy’s best chance for a ring
I want the Nuggets to win so Jokic can finally get the respect he deserves
Mia 3 Den 4 Den 5 Mia 6 Mia 7
i think i watch basketball more than anyone, i think i understand very well good one nick
If they give Nick to undisposed and ruin this set up it will be the dumbest decision
No one is talking about how Miami keeps winning the 4th,if nuggets just gotta play a good 4th quarter
Miami is Pack of Wolves they gonna eat Nuggets for Dinner…………
Easy win for the nuggets tonight. They win by 20+.
the end was hilarious 😂
Denver will win this game. The heat got their attention in the second half of game 2. They were cruising the first 7 quarters of this series but heat fans acting like they just dominated game 2 😂 I fully expect the nuggets to come out and win this game with moderate difficulty. I think Murray has a big game and I would not be shocked if denver wins by 15. If denver loses this game, I'd still take them to win this series but it could be a sign of them choking.
"How many of those teams won titles?" "Well, right now, none of 'em" Nick W just being a hater lol
Nick with his argument, it’s funny like a New Year’s party
Butler is ice…
I really can't take them seriously after that Kerr segment. They really don't know anything about basketball
Y'all corny…"I know your ten toes down" trying to incorporate culture for clout
Yup I’m with Nick. I told all my friends before the series started…Miami in 7. And I’m sticking by it.
Jokers is a better 7 footer, not a better basketball player in any way
THATS BECAUSE WE WERE GRINDING 😂😂😂
Denver by 15
