My disdain for the Lakers is the only thing that I can compare to my hatred of OU

I feel like we are brothers

Joker sat for like 6 min and Miami went +1 in scoring differential. That’s been the untold stat with Denver is winning these games…they’re winning the non jokic minutes practically every game. And winning them convincingly

I can’t recall a time a team went on a significant run while joker sat

this has been huge for denver in the playoffs, and frankly it's been a big surprise. during the regular season denver was #1 in NET rating when jokic was on the court yet they were dead last in the NBA in NET when he was off the court. a)that's an insane stat, and b)its been very surprising and impressive how well they've done these playoffs when he's been out.

The Lakers weren't even the 2nd best team in their own state.

Miamis “other guys”, specifically their UDFAS

Max Strus:
Vs Mil: 6/3/.5, shot 45% including 41% from 3. Nothing eye popping but he’s a threat to hit a couple 3s and make the defense a little honest

Vs NY:
15/3.5/1.5 shooting 48% and dipped a little to 35% from 3.

Becoming a threat

Vs bos: 9.4/3/1 41%, 34% from 3

Coming back to earth but Boston has tough wing defenders so we’ll allow it.

Vs Den: 4/3.5/.5 on 16% from 2 and 19% from 3

Total loser effort against some decent defenders but he’s missing wide open shit

Gabe Vincent
Mil: 14/1/5 42%/42%
Ny: 10/2/5 32%/26% ick
Bos:16/2/2 48%/ 52% we’ve got something going into the finals!!
Den: 13/.5/2- hes had 2 very bad shooting games in Denver. No hope he turns it around for game 5

Caleb Martin
Mil: 11/5/2 63%, 43% solid to pretty good
NY:10/5/1 46%, 36%. Little regression but we’ll take it
Bos:-19/6/2 60%, 49% WHAATTT??? Had a case for ECF MVP!! LFGGG
Den: 7/4/1 35%, 45%. Absolute turd. Can’t handle the lights

Duncan Robinson:
Mil: 10/3/1 65%, 73% wow. Great shooter
NY: 6/1/1 27%, 28% wow. Terrible shooter
Bos : 11/1/2 55%, 48% ok decent bounce back, good shooter
Den:8/5/1 55%,44% serviceable but needs to shoot better

Miami probably needs 3 of these 4 to have their best game or the playoffs + Jimmy and Bam to play much better to win tomorrow. Because Denver’s gonna pull out the stops to win it on their court.

Strus shouldn’t play a min and Duncan Robinson is going to need more sets to get him some open looks.

That's the problem with depending on UDFA's. At some point, they are going to remind you why they were undrafted. For Miami, it comes at the worst possible time.

And all at the same time

i think you could make the case that their regression is coming at the best possible time. can't choke in the nba finals if you don't get to the nba finals, and miami doesn't get to the nba finals without a gang of undrafted role players playing above their heads for several rounds. this maimi team has hugely overachieved this postseason. easily one of the more impressive postseason runs i've seen a team make. 

So I just saw that Conor (sp) McGregor knocked out the Heat’s mascot at halftime.  Saw a video but I never am successful at copying the Tweets while on my phone.  

If I'm going to take two punches to the head from Conor McGregor, I'm going to need more than a mascot head for protection.

So do the Nuggets close this Championship out tonight??

I think the betting line would think so

Probably. Heat luck finally ran out.
I'm a Dirk fan, think he's underrated.  But that is not a line up of scrubs.
Agreed. That was a pretty solid lineup around him and the best Dirk had. Finally got a legit big man in Chandler who helped. And this was all with Caron Butler being hurt for the year midway through.

I think Denver will close it out tonight at home. Miami is just outclassed on every level in this matchup, unless they come up with some brilliant new defense overnight that throws Denver off its game. The last game Miami tried to double Murray and Jokic on most possessions and force Gordon, Porter and Brown to beat them, and they did. It's not a bad strategy, but it gave those other guys tons of open looks from all over the floor, since they had 3 defenders trying to cover 4 guys. Lots of open passing lanes for Murray and Jokic to hit their teammates cutting to the basket for easy layups or pass out to open shooters for 3s. Jokic and Murray both had relatively average games, and they still won by 13 (but probably should have been even more).  

Ref assignments for tonight:

That's always been a narrative.  Dirk led a bucket of chum to the championship.  

Edited by closetohumping

Dirk has been quoted as saying, “why don’t come chum some of this shit!”

Was hoping we’d get the extender on duty for such a crucial game

No Tony Brothers and no Scott Foster makes this Nuggets fan happy.  How Foster is still an NBA ref after the Donaghy stuff went down is amazing to me.

Nevermind. Not a fan of the officiating so far.

Interesting how denver isn’t in their blue mile high city jerseys

They’ve dominated in those…and lose in these white ones
Duncan Robinson is dominating
Refs are dominating. Miami gets away with a ton and they are calling the Nuggets crazy tight.

Ugly game so far, neither team can hit a 3, so it's still close. I don't feel like either team is going to come out an dominate. 

denver gotta stop shooting threes, start getting more looks from inside. 

and right as i hit "send" MPJ bricks a pull-up three in transition. 

Man. That was a sick 3 by Murray. It’s only a matter of time before he cooks for a few minutes and Miami doesn’t have a lead to pad the cooking
