2022-23 NBA Thread: “you’ll never let me down like the Heat did”, Miami fan says to giant pile of cocaine (2 Viewers)

[Ministry of Pain]

I'm still trying to digest the Struss dunk and no call when the ball even clearly indicated he was fouled as it bounce around the rim, WTBleep!!!
And yes @identikit we like hot takes in here. Won't be the least upset if the Heat win after saying Game Over in the 1st as they are getting dunked on

Hats off to the Heat for at least answering back here in the 1st Q and not rolling over and making this a total blowout before half time.
They still miss too many open looks

Well aware how this thread works

You're the irregular in here, soupy....

Don't sugarcoat it

 

[Beef Ravioli Part 2]

Did butler just double dribble?

The hand is by the rules considered part of the ball and any contact directly on the hand is not suppose to be a foul. Most times NBA refs do call it though but this time I think they got it right.

Most times...except tonight


@identikit thought you were spot on, didn't see the foul the same way the Ministry of Pain did
Can you all send him a Nuggets jersey, please!....
3-0-5 has no room for outsiders

 

[Ghost Rider]

I can see it now. The guy who refers to himself in the 3rd person is going to cry all night about one non-called foul. You can set your watch to it.

No tokin, clean living here

Plus I know the rules and stuff

 

[msudaisy26]

This game is ugly, the refs are taking over not a fun watch so far.

 

[Capella]

All these game over hot takes in here...

Glad I didn't turn off this game

Yea no kidding. I missed the first bc we are watching a show, turned it on and Miami was up 8. I figured they were down 30.

 

[Stoneworker]

Lowry determined to bait Jokic into a 3rd foul. What a punk

Agreed. They've let it get out of control. No consistency

If getting into a war of words with you would change the arc for the Heat...you know what I'm saying, I'd go back and forth with you all night but unfortunately that likely won't change things and I honestly enjoy the ribbing from you and have expressed it multiple times.
I'm already 2 sheets to the wind

With all due respect that half had absolutely nothing to do with the Heat

He can't hit shots, what do you want him to do?

You must be so proud

Oddly

 

[Courtjester]

This has been ugly for both teams. The
Refs are really controlling the game. You call something on one end and let it go on the other. Doesn’t change the fact Denver is missing wide open threes, free throws and has way too many turnovers.

Time for a good Malone half-time speech

 

[PIK95]

That was one of the worst halves I have seen Denver play all year. I guess it's understandable when your three best players are in foul trouble from almost the drop. Nice to see D Jordan give a few good minutes, also good for Denver to see MPJ show a lil sack. Ugly game to watch otherwise. Here is hoping for a better second half.

 

[Mister CIA]

I wish they would crank up the volume on the terrible audio playing in the background.

 

[msudaisy26]

All the ESPN guys said the Nuggets come back and win. See you all for game 6.

 

[Stoneworker]

I wonder what Vegas had for MPJ leading the Nuggets in scoring at the half, shooting under 50 percent field goals, and no 3-pointers?

 

[PIK95]

One of my favorite parts about watching the Nuggs on the package the last two years is seeing all the in arena half time entertainment instead of commercials. We usually get chubby peeps dancin, silly contests like watch the ball under the bottle, and special needs kids playing full court games. Having to watch these commercials really suxors. BRING BACK Itzel Salvatierra AIR GODDESS!!!

Do you realize how petty you sound right now?
Everyone knows I could put the cure to cancer up and you would knit pick it or find fault.
It's just who you are, there's nothing to be pride full of or bashful about, you're just a common Richard to everyone, even folks who root for the same team, it's quite astonishing.


Keep going! You must be so proud channeling your MoP tonight, I love it

Please what? WTF is your problem man…..we all know the Nuggets are the better team.

Yet anytime the Heat is having success…..yeah it’s because we are playing terrible.

Get over yourself……The Heat are grinders….under manned, over matched….yet up by one point entering the 4th. And they have shot like absolute dog **** too otherwise we would be up 15.

So get over yourself….your team is gonna get it’s first title…..but Miami ain’t rolling over.

Heat didn't play well, but the Nuggets were awful. A lot more turnovers, a lot of them unforced shot like 1 - 15 from 3 and a lot of open looks. Heat were a C minus and the Nuggets were a D minus in the first half.

Relax. My only point was that the Nuggets playing poorly was of their own accord (specifically 1-15 3's, 10 TO's, 3-8 FT). Truly no disrespect intended.

Lots of wide open missed shots, big runs into the lane only to watch the ball bounce around the rim and not go in.
The Heat should have been up 10-15+ at different points tonight, maybe more and they're inability to finish shots...
Spo has had a decent game plan IMO, unable to execute and it falls on the players not Spo
That's why I think we need to shuffle the deck and start dealing

Sorry man…..my frustration is coming out…..because we had a chance to really pounce due to the Nuggets playing terrible!

All good.

Still a game…..but a mountain to climb to extend the series.

That's what is so frustrating for Heat fans, it feels like the game plan was solid but the execution has been lacking or poor.
Nothing taken away from Denver but the Heat have played brutally poor especially on the offense side. Their defense has been better than anything the Nuggets saw but without a steady offense it doesn't matter. That's what I learned watching these Finals.

I would prefer the Heat with a balanced team but this Series makes me feel like we need to go recruit a couple more big names or All Stars and sell off the role players.
The Heat did have role players when they had the Big-3 but those role players felt like they volunteered for a chance at a ring. The Heat don't have that type of pull right now.

 

[NewlyRetired]

the game has a very 90's feel to it.

 

[identikit]

Nuggets 9-19 from the FT line

 

[Ministry of Pain]

How did Martin hit the deck and no foul?

WoW!
Not mad but WOW!!!

Heat 78...Knicks 77

Yeah. It's a slugfest.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Definitely not a foul
