I rarely watch basketball but Denver is clearly the better more organized team.
Only time will tell if the Nuggets are the new Spurs but its heading in the right direction they got this one in the bag
"Denver will 🧹 heat" 🤓 "Heat won't win 1 game" 🤓
Look, Denver is tough but that won't last long. Heat only lost game 1 because they weren't sinking shots. They literally have more possession on the ball but just couldn't hit the shots. It's just 1 game, don't celebrate too early.
Nuggets going to win it all 🤗
reminds me when Dirk N. won that year

What do you guys think? Sweep or nah? I know it’s been one game but let’s have a convo! Murray is killing it! Jokic had a 27 16 and 10 night! Bam was the best player on the Heat and had 26 and 13 lol
Miami is a party town will never be serious basketball players coaches nightmare

I hope this comment could get to coach spo, pat Riley. Switch to 2 3 zone. A zone defense can stop the Denver nuggets.
Miami gonna figure Denver out

The scoreboard had me thinking "Does ESPN really think fans would not notice how they disrespected this NBA Finals"
Business proposal : See, Indians in the USA/World want to be like Americans and others who are Fighterz, Fuggerz, Hustlerz, Operataz, etc. Imagine if I was like Dana White, Mark Cuban, Hugh Hefner, Larry Flynt, etc and I give opportunities for the Indians to live how they desire.
This gone be tough series watch
Who didn't see this coming 😅 . Miami blew it once they let Boston wear em down a extra 3 games

Nuggets are legit. I thought Suns were going all the way. Nuggets walked through them. Nuggets will most likely sweep Heat, not financial advice 🤣
