After tonight’s game, I knew we got it! Nuggets in 5!!!
Never realised Neymar was a Heat fan. No wonder they are so good at flopping
I want to talk about Jokic like my parents talk about Elway
My neighbor’s car alarm has been going off for almost an hour. Why would it ever need to go off for that long?
Hopefully someone just steals it
i am now not depressed
Heat sub has 3 trophy emojis on where the text goes for what the sub is about. They use to have 🏆🏆🏆(🏆?) the 4th one has been removed lmao.
Are we all gonna ignore the 1 minute Reggie Jackson played and pretend it didn’t happen?
I don’t wish injuries on any player. But I hope that slip Kyle Lowry had at the end is an injury. He’s just so dirty and always plays it off as a hard foul.
From the cheap shot on AG in the bubble, to the twisting of Jaylen Browns sprained wrist in the ECF – he’s just such a scum bag.
Can’t believe Miami had 4 total turnovers and we still won. Rebounding disparity was massive
I’m so happy for Jamal, especially tonight. I just had a flashback to him emotionally collapsing after the game when he scored 50 to force a game 7 with Utah in the bubble. Man, it just hit me on a really cool level. Jokic is the engine, but Jamal really is the soul of this team.
Ball Arena was absolutely insane when Braun was cooking
Dunno if anyone caught Jimmy’s face at the end but he looked defeated. Seen him on the bench laughing and smiling when they were gonna lose during the playoffs but not tonight.
Ziveli!!
Do yall at all feel bad for Cody Zeller? he looks like me guarding Joker
AG: [Christian Braun] is a rare rookie, rare to see other than myself 😁
I take back my comment below. Chris Miles was a good post game host and Crawford was surprisingly good.
I don’t come to this sub when we lose…. It’s nice to be back!!!!!
Still buzzing. Anyone else get that post-game adrenaline dump, though? I crashed hard.
Murray was jokiclike tonight
Just checked ticketmaster is the watch party really sold out for Friday like it shows or have the tickets not been released yet? If so any idea when they will be?
Melvin Love and Colby Zeller are unplayable
We really did a great job contesting Miami on all of those 3’s and swarming them when they drove to the paint.
We keep dominating the paint & boards. MPJ & KCP are due for a good game or 2.
2 more.
Vogt’s take on MPJ is great. There were sooo many times his 3 rimmed and rolled out. But he still came out and played. I hope he isn’t discouraged by this game. His teammates picked him up, he’ll find a way to pick them up. That’s how Nugg ball is played.
Man the sense of relief I felt after this game 😮💨
Jokic also had 2 blocks
Extremely hot take but I seriously believe if Jokic played like this all season he would have been on the NBA First Team.
I don’t want to be a douche but could you imagine if Bones was in the role Braun was in right now
Wait did the Lynx win?
Y’all we fucked the up
Where’s Pollock I need car advice. How long could a car alarm really go off?
I’m still waiting for us to have our dominant game. When all our 3s are falling. Game 4 should be it
