Any European football fans here? I was just thinking that this heat team and specifically the heat in general remind me alot of Mourinho's Porto side that won the champions league.
A bunch of "outcasts" with strong leaders and a focused training regime beating the odds
I have been talking to my buddy about this, and JJ was talking about a bit. But Miami’s defense is just so good. But to a greater extent I think this is highlight a difference in the conferences. The East has really become a very hard defensive confernce and the west has seemingly turned into just shoot more and score more and don’t pay so much attention to defense because the offense will carry.
It’s kind of highlighting a very crucial part that is Denver has amazing scoring potential but they have been mostly going against teams that just also score well. Now that Denver has to go against a team that will make them struggle to play offensive it’s a big deal.
The heat playing in the defensive heavy confernce has made their offense so scary because they get more time with these lazy defenses in the west. I think this is a big part of why the heat are shooting so well in these finals.
If nuggets win game 3 it’ll be nuggets in 6
If heat win game 3 it’ll be nuggets in 7
People forgot that the nuggets went on a 40-14 run in the span of twelve minutes and most came with jokic on the bench
Clocks ticking for your boy Jokic JJ, biggest self-indulgent prick in the media by far 😂
Appreciate the conscious move away from war references JJ! Subtle but notable!
JJ still doesn’t understand how the Heat win.
They are watching more film than their opponent. Coach Spo and the heat seem to be 2 steps ahead of everyone else.
They know something we don’t
Stretch the zone one way with a wing player and Muray, screen the zone with Jokic, roll Jokic and send the other wing to the corner, Murray makes the call based on how they play it.
Heat gon take the chip
I like your analysis JJ❤
its' pretty easy to see, when miami shoots 45%+ 3s they win. Yes its so closely matched, it is a make or miss series.
Denver needs gameplan changes but porter does need to start making some 3s, 3/17 from an elite spot up shooter isnt gonna win you the finals
This dude been working at Espn too long. Starting sound like them🗑🗑
One of the best game 2 analysis!
The Denver bench showed up last night? To do what foul on three point shots in the 4th quarter?!
MPJ just needs to focus
Herro will be the Hero!
JJ's analysis are second to none! Needs his own full time show on ESPN… Paying him that Pat McAfee bag 💰!
I'm so happy JJ started a podcast and we finally have someone with knowledge who speaks facts and doesn't just speak nonsense for clicks.
The Nuggets need to add more off the bounce scoring in the offseason. At least for the second unit. Only Jokic and Murray can dribble the ball more than twice. The Heat had to worry about like 5 diff guys getting into the paint vs Bos.
bruh how they talking about sustainability and not bringing up that the heat shot 48% from 3? like thats not sustainable. the heat have to go to the rim more if they want to win the series or the nuggets will run em over
How’s predicting how many games a serious goes stupid?
129 offensive rating and they didn't even get the perfect game splits
Gabe is officially our starting PG going forward…I think down the stretch that we were much less effecting running the offense thru jimmy. He was way better off the ball…
Denver is underutilizing Jeff Green
I want to see a 7 game series, so Im gonna say Nuggets G3 and the Heat G4.
I dont think Miami can max their performance as they did last game at the same time Nuggets starters shoot that bad again, or for 3 more games
Again i think people are overreacting about Denver. Im sure thet are cominh in guns blazing adtee that loss. Its not like they were blown out and they were soing terrible.
