    Great video as always, the nuggets are incredibly consistent and Jokic is just amazing!!! I don't know if it will be a sweep, maybe the Heat can win one or two games

    The problem with facing the Nuggets and trying to stop Jokic, if you prevent him from shooting, he is just as happy to pass, if you force him to shoot, he'll shoot 65% and hang 50 on you. On top of 15 boards and 10 assists. The unselfish nature of this team doesn't lead to a direct way to stop them. It takes incredible shooting and a hope that you can out score Denver's offense. And if you say Miami shot poorly, the Nugget's 3-point shooters shot poorly as well. Can't really count on that the rest of the series.

    Denver will also shoot better, they are just better 3p team than Heat. This will be a sweep or max 5 games.

    That 2 to 4 points score from Gordon was far from easy points. Butler actually took the ball from him, but Gordon regained it to score 2 easy points, but getting there was not easy.

    If any superstar had 13 points on a finals game he would have been crashed. Jimmy is a great player but he is not a top offensive player, nuggets gave him open shots and stop his drives. He is not a shooter. Unlike Bucks that gave him the lanes. He wasn't even the best player against Celtics. Coach Sp is the real mvp of the heats. And Adebayo is the most valuable player with his top defense, efficient offence and good passing.

    A thing that has to be pointed out is that Nuggets invited Bam to be the main offensive option. You cannot win a game in the world of basketball, at least not a competitive one, where Adebayo takes 25 of 96 field goal attempts. He scored one point less than Jokic who took 13 attempts less.

    Adebayo bit the bait and went on the rim like a raging bull. I am 100% sure that Heat are not that crazy to repeat this again. It was capitulation from minute one. Additionally two things as already mentioned by guys in the comments, shooting will not safe the Heat as Denver is a significantly better shooting team and shot quite sub-average as well in G1. And second is that Nuggets invited Jimmy to shoot, but he hesitated. As there were no lanes open he shied away.

    Big puzzles in front of Spoe – to be honest I don't see any way how Nuggets can lose this one. Not just that they're taller, bigger, stronger, they are simply the better team all around and even Tyler Herro's return can't change the direction of this series, I think.

    Go Jokara – true and undisputed MVP.

    Basically heat are relying on a 3v2 to contain jokic and mur the bur and hope the rest of the team will have an offnight shooting

    I personally respect when players hold accountability for mistakes as it seems uncommon now and days..*Cough* Ben Simmons Cough but seeing jimmy Butler recognize mistakes I hope it can help him in the next game
