Denver Nuggets Still a Matchup NIGHTMARE vs Miami Heat | Miami Heat Lose 4th Straight Game 100-88
That’s what I’m talking about baby what a win for Miami as they dominate a rematch of last year’s championship game shout out to the B goat Messi for scoring the second goal to put in Miami up 2 as they defeat Nashville SC 3 to1 in the cona calf Champion round for I I
Don’t know I’m I’m not really a soccer guy and I’m trying to learn one because in Miami has the goat Messi and two because I need a good team to root for and a good team is not the Miami Heat as they do lose to the Denver Nuggets today
Also in a championship rematch 100 to 88 now couple notes about the game Denver was up about double digits early really didn’t get that much higher than like 10 to 13 thought they were about to run away with it but Terry Rosier was making some plays Duncan Robinson was making
Some plays and he were actually able to take a one-point lead they came out into that third quarter played very very well led by bam adabo who we going get into more deserve some praise tonight because we’ve been very slanderous of him very constructive critical of him I’ll say
Because he’s been terrible but actually was very happy with I saw what I saw with ban tonight so he kind of led the charge in that third quarter helped the heat take a lead they even had a lead either going into the fourth quarter start of the first uh fourth quarter
They were up like one to uh one to three around that range but then it all went to crap as the Denver Nuggets could not miss and that’s the thing about the Denver Nuggets anytime they’re in a close game they have a chance to win 99%
Of the time because they are so Elite at getting good looks which is the opposite of what the Miami Heat could do I mean and and the the frustrating part tonight though it was without Nicole yic you were up in that fourth quarter uh to start the quarter you had no yic that’s
The time to build on the lead but de Miami he could not guard Christian Brun or brown however the hell you say his name the the man spells it like brown but it think it’s pronounced Brown that’s stupid you couldn’t guard him he was getting right to the standing on a
Three-point line wide open you couldn’t guard Payton Watson you couldn’t guard Reggie Jackson you couldn’t guard Michael Porter Jr and then by the time yic back uh got back in the game it was all essentially over so that was the frustrating part because really before this 4 game skid when the Miami Heat
Were kind of rolling defense was their calling card that’s always been their identity obviously but that is what was helping them lead to wins and now you look at the game tonight the the Nuggets only scored 100 points uh in mind he scored 88 my God but what I what the
Most disappointing part is again is in that fourth quarter they gave up 28 points now that doesn’t sound like a lot but most of that was in the first half of the quarter before the game kind of got out of hand and they were just unable to get stops even earlier in the
Game they had a lot of possession uh uh in the first half a lot of chances to sort of build the lead or or cut Denver’s double digit lead faster than they did because they were getting stops then I mean Denver only scored 24 points in the second quarter 22 in the third
Quarter but then the heat couldn’t get Buckets in that first half you had bam at a bio missing bunnies at The Rim missing back toback free throws he was pretty bad in the first half but I do want to jump to that third quarter which
Was the best way I could describe it was magical by bam and the about the last few games for bam has obviously been terrible to put it lightly and his confidence has really been gone he really hasn’t looked the same out there right even today in the first half which
He wasn’t good in that first half he had a little push shot from like you know seven eight feet out that sort of rattled in like it bounced up and then fell in and as soon as it bounced he threw his hands up like oh another one
Of these cuz he’s had a lot of a lot bounce out I think it’s kind of in his head he’s not putting the Right Touch on it but then itent uh it eventually ended up going in right so he’s like oh okay right but then in that third quarter uh
Yic is sagging way off of bam and Bam just spots up at the three-point line takes his time raises with confidence and cashes it finally another three-pointer for bam I think like it’s his second of the season but really all his other attempts were basically at the
End of shot clocks they were grenades you know we had to catch it and shoot it with a second left this one he took his time and set into it and I loved that from m b one because it shows confidence two because I think we all believe he
Can make that shot we’ve seen him do it in plenty of pickup runs in the summer we know his form is very very nice has great follow through on the wrist has great extension right and three it forces joic to play defense we know joic is the best player in the world right
But he’s not a great defender and if he’s this dominant on the offensive end you’re not going to be a be able to do anything defensively to really stop it now he wasn’t great tonight overall that that he do a as good a job as you can limiting uh doic he only finished
Tonight with 12 points for a rebounds and six assist so relatively quiet night for him right but when he wants to we know he can do whatever he wants on offense so the best way to mitigate that is to make him work on the defensive end
And you can’t make him work at the defensive ENT if you’re not being aggressive now bam tonight he only shot 15 shots which is fine he was 7 to 15 uh 17 points 13 rebounds for him uh and three assists so not a bad stat line for
Bam but I like the aggressiveness still you know as far as extending his range to the three-point line because after that he went inside on Michael Porter Jr beautiful fake and spin move slammed it showed aggressiveness the very next play Crazy up pass to Duncan Robinson cutting
Back door bam took over and he and it was in a a versatile sense in that third quarter even attacking off a re you know getting rebounds going coast to coast and that makes joic work and we know that man is not in the best shape so if
You force him to try a little bit on the other end I do think that can help slow him down on the offensive side a little bit but let’s kind of go ahead and get into this box score and talk about everyone here Jimmy wasn’t great tonight
15 points and five rebounds for him he was six to 16 so obviously pretty poor a problem with that is he struggles versus this team because they’re very big they have a lot of size and a lot of great you know Defenders that even are big I
Mean cavius cwell Pope is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league and the reason this is concerning is because if this heat team was to get back to the finals there’s a very high chance that they’d meet the Denver Nuggets and this team just has Jimmy’s
Number they match up very very well with him and that’s what the playoffs are so that part is frustrating team like the Milwaukee Bucks they don’t match up well with Jimmy a team like the Boston Celtics they clearly don’t match up well with Jimmy but the Denver Nuggets they
Got the pieces to kind of slow him down and we we’ve essentially seen that every time Jimmy has faced Denver Nicole yic uh his his most quiet game in a while 15 minutes tonight uh and a lot of that he only had three points a lot of that is
Because he’s been playing the backup five but today uh sper trusted Thomas Bryant to go out there versus his former team and Thomas Bryant had himself a nice little stint uh Thomas Bryan tonight 13 points nine rebounds six assists he played very very well I personally like Thomas Bryan and short
Spurts I know a lot of people disagree but I think he’s a guy that there that plays with a lot of energy and although he doesn’t have a lot of skill I think having a guy out there just to go kind of balls to the walls and show some
Energy for 10 minutes I do think that is something that can be beneficial official to a team so because he did play well today yic didn’t get a lot of run in the starting lineup but that’s fine you know I don’t think this is a great match up for yic anyways because
He they they obviously started him on Aaron Gordon the opposing four Aaron Gordon could bully him now if they were to put him more on Michael Porter Jr it could work better but then that means you’d have Jimmy with Aaron Gordon and that match up doesn’t work well listen
The Denver Nuggets are a matchup nightmare we know this uh Duncan Robinson tonight 11.6 rebounds five of 10 from him fine Terry was there 14 points for him uh Terry’s a guy that kind of kept the game close early on when nobody else could score I think
That he had like nine points like eight minutes into the game and half of those if not more were or prob definitely more were from Terry Rosier and again I really just like his ability to score at will he’s very versatile only four assists tonight to two turnovers so his
Ratio got a little bit worse but uh I I really like what he brings out there I feel like there’s a a visual almost a tangible impact that he has out there which is not something that we could say about Kyle Lowry uh and again Qui night from really everyone tonight the only
Guy that stood out was baming that third quarter uh cuz even Off the Bench hame HZ Caleb Martin uh Patty Mills finally shot inefficient one six for him nobody else really did too much for you there but on the Denver Nuggets side Michael Porter Jr Aaron Gordon continue to kill
You again those are the guy that just because they’re so big and you got bamon joic nobody else is really there that can guard those other two guys uh 25 points for Michael Porter Jr 16 for Aaron Gordon uh and Jamal Murray relatively quiet tonight too 14 points
For him so overall I’m not that mad just because it it’s the Denver Nuggets listen you got two games versus the Detroit Pistons coming up back to back you better win those and I said the same thing before you played the Wizards and you lost to the Wizards and at that
Point I wasn’t even mad either just cuz I was so numb at that at that point I was mad when we lost to the Mavericks I was mad cuz we lost to the thunder cuz those were good teams and we were in it but once they lost to the Wizards it’s
Like what what do you want me to do you know I had someone comment after the the last video uh cuz I did get a little a little bit mad and someone said oh if the heat were to go out there and beat Denver and win their next four games I
Bet your tone would change yeah no the hell I’m reacting to the games if they win I’m going to be happy I’m a fan of the team shout out to Heat versus haters he put this uh this little meme out here today A new heat meme Heat fan
Meme uh you start off with heat cult we going back to the finals followed by bad loss it’s only one game we going to bounce back and then it’s over trade Pat Riley put the boy in the nursing home and then of course when they win we back
At it like snorting that that culture cocaine you know how it goes baby but yeah like that’s the life of being a Heat fan sure but just a fan in general when they lose games I’m going to feel bad when they win games I’m going to feel good that doesn’t mean that my
Opinion on the team changes every day cuz I think that’ just be stupid I’ve been said said I think this team can and will get back to the NBA finals that’s been my prediction and I’m sticking with it that doesn’t mean that I can’t criticize him after a bad loss or when
Ban plays terrible I can’t say that he played terrible I can and I will one cuz I have a YouTube channel where I’m reacting to the games and and it wouldn’t be entertaining if every video I said oh just wait till the playoffs just wait to no that’d be boring and two
I don’t think guys are above criticism if they play bad I think they’re allowed to be criticized just like they’re allowed to play well people thought I was a bam and a b hater that’s not true he played bad tonight he played great in that second half and I’m very looking
Forward to see the impact that Kevin Love Tyler hero have when they come back because you know they were losing a lot of games with Tyler or I guess they were winning a lot of games when Tyler missed time earlier this season now they’re
Losing a lot of games but it just say so coincidentally when Kevin Love is out I don’t know who the more important piece is there uh but I am interested to see uh what it’s like when those guys get back cuz regardless they need some sort
Of shakeup whether it’s one or two of those guys uh I hope it happens quick there’s no timeable for Heroes return so he certainly sounds like he’s going to miss some more time and I haven’t heard a lot on Kevin Love but I believe he was
Questionable like a game or two ago I don’t exactly know what happened to that but hopefully both of those guys are back as soon as possible anyways that’s all I got to say for this video uh a couple days ago I dropped it a pretty long video uh breaking down the blame
For like this team like who is to blame for their struggles this season I put together a whole pie chart breaking down percentage of different people so make sure y’all go check that out cuz I’m very curious to hear which if y’all agree with me and it also allows me to
Share some of more uh some of my thoughts on these losses here anyways that’s officially all I got to say for this video I’ll come out with another video at some point maybe after the the Detroit game depending how that goes but subscribe so you don’t miss it and like
The video cuz it does help me out a lot and I’ll see y’all then peace out py to get that Dead face do it on my own I don’t need no dead way had a kill them off yeah need a has space you know this homegrown don’t offend me h

We need Hassan whiteside
Bro your intros get me every fucking time 😂
Tiny Team my friend ! 😂
Jovic has played the past 6 games,and has done NOTHING to help. Why is Spo playing him,and not playing Wright?
Please dont talk about Bam or Jimmy no more… they are 100% over rated…
this is just ridiculous now💯
These dude cant even score 20 points in a regular season game??? But they are suppose to win a chip???
To funny🤣🤣🤣
We got swept by the nuggets wolves thunder clippers sun and Celtics were cooked bro can't win the chip w out size
Just here to highlight Jimmy’s stellar performance tonight. 15 points on 37% shooting 🔥🔥🔥 HES HIMMY!!😤🤤🥺 what a SUPERSTAR performance from our SUPERSTAR (allegedly)
It is very frustrating. It is the same reason game after game. Our defense is horrendous! We can't seem to get rebounds – it is because we don't have big & agile players who can defend and make crucial rebounds and score. We are too small. We haven't learned our lessons in the last two finals – we do not have a legit Center or big and agile players who can score and defend. JB is getting old – we are wasting his last remaining years of playing good basketball for the miami heat. Another thing – Our free throws misses is deflating. Bam and JB's averages in the last 4 games is not good -there is no way we can win games with that averages.
Terry, Bam, Jimmy and JJJ played very well. But, had Duncan made some of these open shots and avoided foul troubles, the result would be different.
My god this season is irritating
Jimmy and Bam are the boink Brothers, that's all you hear everything they put up a shot 😂
Told y’all we to small why they refuse to get big confused me
This team lacks FUNCTIONAL SIZE. This is something that Denver has that the Heat don't. The top 4 teams in the East are gearing towards this trend while the Heat have lagged behind. I don't see the Heat getting past the first round. They would have to retool this offseason
Spo: no its not theire size, its just the shot doesnt falling.
Nextime we use 5 guards to add some quickness well absolutely beat denver.
Jimmy: ah ok.
