NBA Gametime reacts to Nuggets claim #1 seed in West with 100-88 win over Heat in rematch NBA Finals

Last 33 shots in a row from the field good great not a wow talk about efficient know what you shoot man only dunks and lamps but you can be smart right absolutely Know Your Role know where who you are and you know your skill set you’re not falling with the

Rest of the league shooting three as much as I we talked about early mon as I love the three-point Ball but imagine if Lively and gaffer say you know what let me venture out to the three they’ like no big guys you see looking him no getting back in that paint the analytics

They like the dunk just as much more even more so than the they but you can like but you can’t shoot the three that’s different you might like it more but if you can’t do it I’m still going back to that paint I I it’s just smart I

Mean the way the game is play it’s high pick and roll you just run to the rim and if you don’t get it you suck everybody in and then somebody gets a three-point shot done your job that’s it on your job that’s Steve Smith Dennis Scott right there I’m Matt Wier good to

Have you with us here on a Wednesday night on game time game of the night no surprise a finals rematch the Denver Nuggets in Miami tonight trying to sweep the season series they’d won a tonight nice when you can have a two-time MVP possibly three time setting screens for

You Murray spitting footwork got it Miami needs some offense still playing without Tyler hero Terry roier helping fill that Gap tough shot man right over the top of the 610 Michael Porter Jr Jimmy Butler 15 on the night you know especially without hero it feels like the heat just don’t have another gear

Offensively Porter in for a big night and Denver up by six at the half third quarter it’s bam shake and bake working on Porter great step through that’s a nice move 17 points 13 boards for bam Miami up by three Murray goes Baseline tough shot taker tough shot

Maker Denver up by one then the Nuggets going a 14-6 run Aaron Gordon inside he had 16 Denver up by four Porter Jr he can get his shot off yes he can went for 25 on the night and late it was Jackson hit seven straight points to really put this game

You know what Matt 3D I would love to run pick and roll with Joker they don’t leave him and they scared to step up on you so Denver has now won 10 of their last 11 games and 11 of 12 no now 12 of 13 against the Heat going back a few

Years and joic took just eight shots in this game we we did some research on this our guy Rodney in the back found that going back back to his first MVP season the nuggets are now 12 and two when joic takes fewer than 10 shots how

Many MVPs in the history of the league can get away with that you know what I’m GNA think about it man I I guess we had to go all the way back to somebody like Bill Russell yeah I mean that’s that’s that maybe I don’t you knowly magic

Magic because that’s that’s when you know you’re really good when you can have an imprint on a game and still be considered the best in the game without taking shots that’s that’s amazing I’m no longer surprised guys cuz we’ve seen it now with four or five years now where

He’s really a team player and then every interview I’ve done Smitty with him when he’s only taking 10 or less shots and we still want to interview him he’s like why he’s like I just want to win I’m not caught up in all the other things so I

Think we ought to appreciate and just keep rewarding and just saying praising him for being that way we were joking about the screen setting but it’s a a real impactful thing especially if you’re MVP can do it because of the gravity he draws and also the size of

Him I mean you we get a chance to watch if you’re a guard defensively you you can’t really get around him Matt I mean and if you go under uh it’s so hard because then you you giving a guy a wide open shot as we see right now good job

Of manipulating having a guy set a screen as you can see the guard is just stuck on him it’s like you’re on his back you didn’t know whether to get around or go over next play similar he goes on obviously to the uh right side of the defender right now the defender

Just Hits him and then there’s the big and you can’t can’t blame the big 3D because it’s like if I go up and help and he drop it off the Joker it’s an automatic to from him or Aon Gordon for a l one more time he goes under right

Now now Reggie Jackson’s feeling it if you give me two three shots I make now he he is putting his imprint on the game with just setting screens and not rolling Matt that’s the other thing yeah screen and Roll Just gravity comes with you he’s screening and not popping

Screening just stopping yeah just turns around and looks and say just throw it back to me I’ll make a play or you make a play he’s not a lob threat that’s what I’m say he’s not that guy but he’s not even popping out to get ready to shoot a

Three to me it’s fun because now they’re worried about his scoring when he really wants to be a passer so when you look at Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr every night they have easy shots how many nights have we been in here mat and Smitty where we seen Aaron Gordon going

Back door to get a dunk or or alley or something of that nature to your point most guys roll to the basket too dunk or they’re popping back in today NBA shoot a three you hit around on the head he’s kind of hovering around that free throw line area seeing what mistake the

Defense is going to make and he picks the poison so Denver with the win moves back into first place in the Western Conference now half game up on the Oklahoma City Thunder and with all firsttime Champs there’s always some skepticism about oh well can they do it

Again you know they didn’t have to face this team they didn’t have to face that healthy player etc etc Denver is as good as it gets right now they are as good as they get I believe in I guess the biggest question is you lost Bruce Brown

Will Reggie Jackson pick up some of the slack he did last year you lost uh Uncle Jeffy now I was the young fell Payton Watson ready to step up and last but not least uh you throw in uh where was my man um Zeke Nai big guy you need some

More rebounding because you know those are type of things in the playoffs many we know you need one of those big bodies to come in and do some dirty work when things don’t go well can those guys step up with more opportunity I it was interesting this year Jo didn’t play

DeAndre Jordan came in had like 20 and 13 he had play like he play 20 dmps and I was like it’s amazing how he came in and played I I think another guy who I think has a chance to just be solid in the playoffs is Justin holiday because

He’s a wing guy that can kind of catch lobs can kind of get out on break and also can catch and shoot doesn’t need the basketball I think he might get enough playing time and he’s a veteran he’s kind of been around he hasn’t went

Went far far in the playoffs but I think he could be big help for the Nuggets Denver gets the win back at top the standings in the western conference right now all right let’s check out the Cavaliers and the Pelicans wrapping up their season series Donovan Mitchell

Back after missing seven games with a left knee bone bruise Brandon Ingram ready to go Zion Williamson head of steamy since the allstar break Darius Garland 30 points the other night without Mitchell knocking down the three here Carris Levert to Garland this is the Garland We saw before Donovan

Mitchell I mean getting a chance to get opportunities after opportunities you can’t wait to these guys this season play together in the playoffs Mitchell with a catch and shoot three and then dribbles into another three Cleveland up by 17 Pelicans on the comeback on their home floor Trey Murphy to Brandon Ingram

Ingram at 20 and it’s a 10-point game Cavaliers up by eight at the half okay Williams dunker spots oh layup hard Landing straight to the hip oh it’s an an Foree Foree for spee foreign speech speech speech fore foree speech spee fore fore to for foree e foreign speech foree fore for speee Fore fore spee speee spee about
