2022-23 NBA Thread: “you’ll never let me down like the Heat did”, Miami fan says to giant pile of cocaine (3 Viewers)

[identikit]

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

It’s like watching old dudes play at the Y

@Jayrod reffing

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Butler kicks Gordon in the chestnuts jumping up for a 3 and Gordon is called for ball interference apparently and Denver has challenged the call...
If Butler is able to shoot 3 free throws after the review, I'll be a little surprised

 

[John123]

Refs trying to keep the series alive. What a shame.

 

[Stoneworker]

Unf**ing believable

 

[the moops]

 

[Poke_4_Life]

That foul stands? Everyone wants to go back to South Beach I guess.

 

[Jayrod]

What the heck.

No justification for that.

 

[Orange&Blue]

**** you refs. worst call ever.

 

[stbugs]

It’s so obvious the call was to help extend the series. Terrible call.

 

[Ghost Rider]

The NBA is so corrupt. I laugh at anyone who insists otherwise.

 

[msudaisy26]

Jimmy Butler has grabbed his fishing pole

I think someone forgot to tell him that.

 

[msudaisy26]

The NBA plays some great defense making the Nuggets miss all those free throws and open threes.

 

[the moops]

What a game. So fun

Do you think the Butler 3-pt foul call was a good call?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Nuggets are going to win an NBA Championship scoring less than 100 tonight, incredible
Heat should have routed them tonight
That's what 8-seeds do
Lose in 5
Miss open shots
All Star comes up small all Series
That's what 8-seeds do, they don't win NBA Championships
Still the Heat deserve a silver medal for all this craziness

What a game. So fun

Ugly but exciting

No, doesn't mean they are corrupt and extending the series on purpose that is just stupid.

 

[sho nuff]

What was that shot by Butler?

 

[sho nuff]

Brown clutch in the last minute.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets
Well deserved

 

[Jayrod]

Just like the ECF last year, Butler chokes it away.

So un-clutch.

 

[SWC]

Yep. Just incompetent officiating.

[identikit]

Congratulations on your first, Nuggets!

Epic playoff run by the bad news bears zombie Heat

They reviewed the foul. It was an easy call to review. And they got the review wrong. That’s hard to do.

 

[jvdesigns2002]

Jimmy Butler played well for maybe 7 minutes tonight. His stat line will end up looking decent but inefficient–but he was basically a negative asset for the first 3 quarters of an elimination game. Admirable and respectable season by the Heat, but they weren’t going to beat Denver unless Jimmy gave them more. Congrats to the Nuggets and to their fans. Well deserved championship. They played like a team throughout the season and the playoffs.

 

[msudaisy26]

Congrats to the Nuggets and their fans well deserved.

Wembanyama is still minus 20000 to go first and we are like 10 days out. Who has 2 million I can burrow for a week and a half?

 

[Todem]

Ha ha Joker “The job is done and we can go home now “

Love it.

I guess it is the first time someone messed up twice.

 

[thecatch]

I love how nonplussed Jokic is.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Seeing Jokic celebrate with his family is pretty cool

 

[Ghost Rider]

Congrats to the Nuggets! Their defense was the difference.

 

[the moops]

What a game. So fun

Ugly but exciting

I enjoy it, because it shows that nerves get to even the elite of elite athletes. The rushing of the offense, the turnovers, the stupid fouls, all that **** at the end of games. Kinda reminds me of my way low level high school days being nervous as **** for just regular season games when it came to a 1 or 2 possession game in the last seconds. Can't imagine the nerves in the NBA championship.

Yep, the Nuggets didn't play smart early in the game, and looked a bit shaky at times, but their defense never wavered.

 

[Major]

Really happy for Nuggets fans. They've had some great teams over the years but never could manage to put it together in the post season. I have a feeling this won't be the their only title. This team is Golden State Durant era stacked.

 

[Stoneworker]

Valiant effort by the Heat. Tremendous heart. Classy organization, coach, players and fans

 

[SWC]

den will have the least destructive celebration ever because everyone will be mellow as hell and it will be totally alright alright alright man take that to the bank brochachos

 

[Frostillicus]

Congrats Nuggets fans. You were the class of the league all year and deserve this one for sure. Enjoy it - you won't even win the division next year! Wolves Up! Bring on 2023-2024!

It was the unlikeliest of runs in Heat playoff history.

I will take it. It was a wild fun ride and we finally starting shooting like we did all regular season…..and ran into the best team in the NBA this season.

We did have a golden opportunity to extend the series…but shooting 34% ain’t gonna get it done. If we get 48 minutes of Jimmy we win easily tonight…..but we didn’t.

Again hats off to the Nuggets. They had the much better team and arguably the best player on the planet now.

 

[Courtjester]

So so happy!! Just tears in my house now

 

[ShamrockPride]

Kroenke know Lisa's ear is NOT a mic?

 

[Zigg]

Nothing worse in sport than handing the trophy to the owner. Worst tradition by far.

Congrats Nugs.

 

[sho nuff]

Did Kroenke think the mic was in her ear?

Dudes on a hell of a run as a sports owner of a bunch of winning teams.
